Voting only works as intended when the Congress and the elected party officials are not corrupt and not lapdogs of corporations and mafia. That is not the case, hence voting barely benefits citizens, and the democracy there looks like a circus TV show instead of it being an extremely ideal and reputed political structure system on paper.
It’s not an extremely ideal system on paper even, the US does have a two party democracy which is deeply flawed. Still a democracy though, even if corrupt etc
Voting does help American citizens. Not a lot but it does, there is all kind of legislation which has a positive impact.
I agree that it’s not enough. I agree that other measures need to be taken if possible.

Calling the American system a democracy is an insult to democracy. It is a plutocracy, an individualist warmongering pure capitalist one.
