America wasn’t a democracy or the majority of Americans who oppose military aid to Israel would’ve had an opportunity to vote. It’s a plutocracy with democratic components (if you’re feeling generous, “democratic theater” if you’re not).
They call it a representative republic.
Democracy has never been tried at a scale the size of the US. But I’d argue that it was the end goal on many who penned the US constitution, that it’s well past the point where it could have been reached, and that over and again it’s been held back by fools.
The document which only granted white, land-owning males the right to vote?
I think you’re a bit immersed in the mythology of American exceptionalism.
