The most prosperous, safest, healthiest, most free society in the history of humanity. Now you're just being jingoistic. Prosperity I can give you, but safety (which does not trump liberty, I'm afraid) and health are areas where the USA lags behind. What categories would you use to determine safety anyway - crime rates in general, murder rates, the level of security theater? Freedom is a quality which evades measurement. There's plenty of countries which have greater social mobility, personal autonomy and social acceptance of historically deviant behaviors than the USA. Segregation is now gone (and the black middle class has exploded in size) How is this relevant to voting or mending deeply flawed mechanics of how the government is run? The civil rights movement got rid of heinous barriers, it didn't make any changes to fundamental technical workings. women are now educated and work in greater numbers than men The Western world sort of convened on this at around the same time period. Or just look closely at a photo of the current President of the United States and see if you notice something surprising. Highly skilled communicator, policies no different from the norm over the past few decades. Oh, and black. Right.
