Yes agreed. But competition for what?

I'd say for the good of the majority of the people.

In other systems only those on top profit (maybe 10-20% max) even if they claim otherwise.

Thus democracy, through competition, aligns the leader's incentive with their people best.

Are you saying the US isn't doing that presently?

Yes. Mind you that like most things in life, it's a spectrum.
