Yeah who's working on these private memberships and how are they any more private than a US senator (gotta have millions to run)
The US is not famous for the integrity of it's democracy, but almost anything is better than this.
Peek of chauvanism. Purely ignoring class, the fact that the US Empire is a settler-colonial dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and looking at models alone, as though they supercede the class character of the state. Utter nonsense.
Yeah a "democracy" that allows a cabal of pedophiles and rapists dictate the country and invade and kill other people in the global south is better!
It really doesn't need to be a contest between those two.
Geopolitics is literally a contest between the two.
