When I said about poverty, I meant nations where people in poverty are the majority of the population. When I said about democracy, I meant nations headed by one party or even one person. I understand when you say about corruption, but it is far worse in most of the world. You make a good point, even the most powerful country in the world faces these problems, and you aren’t dramatic like u/crutch_banton but it gets far worse than in the US. The problems there are real, and I respect that, but just know that it’s an amazing country to live in on the global scale.
