That 🦅 moment when you are competing with Malta and Israel on the "democracy index" (Malta 28th, US 29th, Israel 30th) and they call you a "flawed democracy"
Some fun facts:
-
On the points "functioning of government" and "political culture" the US is competing with Hungary
-
The US has a worse score in "electoral process and pluralism" than for example Poland, Malaysia, Panama and Brazil
-
Besides Hungary, Eritrea and Uganda have a better score in "political culture" than the US
But ngl, people who think that the US is a perfect example of a democracy probably also think that the US is a keeper of peace for striking civilian targets in Iraq.
