The CIA metrics were big when I was in Econ classes
The US is struggling to even maintain its democracy, and all the while, excessive wealth extraction is strangling its economy. They're stagnating, so it's not at all surprising that a country with 4x the population would overtake it eventually.
What are you talking about "struggling to maintain it's democracy". Have you read the founding documents and the letters among the nation's founders? "We must protect the opulent minority. The Senate will be that body". The Electoral College. The 3/5s compromise was not a moral thing, it was a power thing - it gave slave owners more votes. The USA's democracy is functioning exactly as it was designed and isn't straying from that path in the least.
The US is not a democracy, it's a capitalist dictatorship.
