coz you valued your "valueble" American lives, sounds like a politician to me
and you first sentence should not be end there, imo, " i'm proud to be able to vote and that my country holds elections which allow the people to choose their figurehead to disappoint themselves once every 4 years", thats a sentence

Sure you shouldn't push ideals on someone or force them to do something or live a certain way. At the same time there is nothing wrong with letting people know that there is a better way or an easier way to do something or to live. It's just as bad to leave a people in the dark as it is to force ideals and customs down their throat. When a government begins to censor and force it's own rhetoric it becomes tyrannical and I think we can all agree that tyranny is bad.
Your ignorance is rather laughable. We "get a chance to disappoint ourselves once every 4 years". Sounds to me like someone has been living in a tyrannical state. If you want to reword things that's fine, but your point is lost with your poetics. The truth is that in the US there is a chance to change things through elections, we have local election which allow us to vote on how we deal with our taxes and a lot of other things you don't know about. You seem to have an ironic understanding of the presidential election which happens ever four years. Actually we have some sort of elect just about every year. How many elections does China have annually? Find the answer and you know the difference between the two countries.
Thats what your government doing right now.
IMO, no one could decide which way is better or which is easier, only the history will tell.
China, this country has been struggled for more than 150 years between to line of live or death, until the PR China been founded. According to the past tragical experience, the Chinese people have enough reason to distrust the western world including its political faith and system, even we might admit that yours are better
why I mentioned youtube?
see for yourself

tbh, as I am a non American, I can only judge your country from a big picture. Your government abused their authorities which granted by your people to start an unethical war and these actions really disappointed your people, thats the impression I've got for past few years.
Yes, maybe I know nothing about how your local elections would change your life but I assume that you would not look into the China's constitutions very carefully either
every system has its defects, I think attacking each others flaws is not the way of making friends and developing yourself
the video you saw had been censored for a while, I think I can call it a soft censorship, but still the authorities in US has its limitation and tolerance, regardless its about free speech or not
