Aside: Most Americans who voted voted against Bush in 2000, and he would have lost the election altogether if the votes in Florida had been properly tallied. Most Americans who voted voted against Trump in 2016. Trump might win in November as well but nobody, not even in Trump's camp, thinks he will win the majority of the popular vote.
This isn't quite on point, but all the collective guilt being slung about in these comments is problematic. I notice you use British collective plural -- "The US have". I don't know whether this is because you imagine the states collectively leading the world or the population of the states, but it suggests you assign collective blame.
You can't have it both ways. Either you're a democracy and the citizens are responsible for the actions of their government, or you're not.
You can't hand-wave that away with "our democracy just works slowly" or "but the popular vote this and that". That's the society your democracy has formed over decades. It's your responsibility.
When Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd that was a failure on Floyd's part, right? He was a citizen of the democracy and citizens are responsible for what is done in their name. Boy Navalny sure did screw up when his Russian democracy poisoned him. And don't get me started on the Jews killed by the Nazis. Sure, the Nazis came to power by a putsch and other nefarious means, but you can't hand-wave away their responsibility for the democratic elections which put the Nazis into position to seize power.
Yes, I take responsibility for US actions, and that consists of voting and otherwise using my power to steer the government towards moral choices.
