              Up until recently you really did. US citizens decided to not have it, so who knows in the future, but you really did.
              American really cannot do comparative analysis, they believe that their country is the only one in the world and very unique, so it’s hard for american brain to comprehend that some countries are better at something and some are worse. They need to be either the best or the worst.

                  This attitude betrays that you never actually engaged with it besides reading about a candidate 2 minutes before casting a vote that one time and never again.
