If they're so smart, why don't they have a TikTok?!
/S
I do think it's important to clarify that America was the first modern democracy, so others learned from our mistakes while we refuse to learn lessons from anyone else. With a big qualifier that only white male landowners could vote and while Black slaves were "represented" in amount of House members, they had no vote themselves, their owners and other white male landowners just got disproportionate representation.
When talking about government systems, "first is worst" shouldn't surprise anyone , but it continually does.
