The claim was:

> the USA is the least liberal and democratic ( in the true sense of the word ) country in the world

Comparison to other countries isn't whataboutism...it's the essence of the claim.

You and executesorder66 are arguing against a strawman. The claim wasn't that the US is perfect. Obviously that claim would be easy to refute.
