Plus (AFAIK) because of the shitty electoral system in the US, it's really hard to even get on the ballots.

Etit: hope not to start a struggle session, but is cornel west a good candidate? He seemed miles above recent mainstream US politicians to me (keep in mind I'm not Amerikkkan, fortunately)
i'm not american either, but IIRC he has better stances on a lot of stuff than almost any other candidate, but also seems to support some patsocs or something like that? something fash adjacent.
Also even when we had total control of somebody's government we didn't set one up like ours. But a bunch of constitution literalists keep insisting what our founders did was perfect and an inspiration to the world. "Best Democracy strikes again!"
Fucking USAians can't find anyone other than two doddering old fools to chose between to "lead" their country, but it's "The Best Democracy ®".
not true, they also have doddering old fool whose brain was eaten by worm! AND MORE!

They love the Constitution's baked-in oligarchy, only rich white males had any power originally, and still do in reality.
