I mean, the often used retort of USians is “It’s not a democracy, it’s a republic”. And they are kinda right about it, it’s the same thing as roman republic, meaning system which is designed to keep the power in the hands of small elite, while creating illusion of democracy and grant some crumbs for the people.
And even if the US was a democracy in the common sense of the word I don’t think it would be any less of a shithole, perhaps more even.

The reliance on the court to create these rights by discovering these rights existed in the constitution is very unusual by liberal theory and has now completely collapsed. Liberals should now realize that the liberal system has completely failed.
