The US is a statistical outlier in almost every single metric. Almost nothing about the US generalizes, not to the world as a whole, and not to other Western countries. Certainly not to functioning liberal democracies.
Value bundling is a pretty universal problem. Maybe Switzerland is less impacted with their direct democracy escape valves, but it's a huge issue in almost every country.
The US has an extreme case of it, with their 2 parties system, but most countries can't keep 4 different issues actively guiding politics.
