Do you mean "okay, but why is it still better to live on America than those places?" The answer to that one is, for the most part, it's not. (I have lived a fairly sketchy life but the three times I've had guns drawn on me have all been in my brief visits to America.)
Do you mean, how are they more democratic? Gerrymandering, unlimited campaign contributions to "PAC" which are absolutely totally not working with parties and of course, the obscenely impressive ways pork gets stuffed into the most innocuous of bills by design all come leaping to mind.
