It's not really hard to be the most democratic superpower when you're the only superpower; we're also the least democratic superpower. China, India, Russia, and the EU are only considered "potential superpowers."

And frankly, most of the EU nations are routinely rated better regarding democracy than the US, which in recent years generally is considered a "flawed democracy" rather than a "full democracy".

For example, see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index
