One difference between Americans and non-Americans is that Americans will apologise.

Smith is a tool and US politics sucks, but he isn't significantly worse than the norm in other countries and neither is US politics.

I bet you are 100% right. That doesn't mean we have to settle, just because its worse in other places. I'm sure you can come up with a few examples on your own where applying that same logic would seem like a terrible idea.

> That doesn't mean we have to settle

And I never suggested otherwise. I just pointed out that Americans apologise for this stuff while non-Americans don't.
