criticize the government freely

How many peaceful protesters got bagged in unmarked vans in 2020?

Also the Chicago PD have black sites where they would disappear people without cause and their families would not be notified.

due process and unpartial justice

Yeah it would really suck to be locked up for years without a trial.

fair treatment of minority groups

Yeah that's definitely not a thing in the US I'm not even sure how you could possibly think that it is unless you got kicked in the head by a donkey.

run for office

Okay...

when qualified

Who determines this qualification?

free press

It's really easy for the press to be free when the same multinational corporations that the US works on behalf of also own the "free" press.

It's really interesting that you didn't mention the one thing that I think a democracy actually has to have: representation/reflection of the will of the citizenry.
