I see quite a few people living under liberal democracies who hate their governments. More even than folks living under theocracies and monarchies, nevermind primitive tribes and workers’ soviets. And Liberal Democracies also have an annoying habit of being incredibly war-like. So their neighbors don’t like them too much, either.
The fact that you are able to see and hear the complaints means more than you realize. The verdict is not “out.” It is a better system than anything that has existed before it, which has always been authoritarian. And it is far from perfect and there will of course be better systems in the future.
There’s a reason the tricameral system got almost no traction globally. Divorcing the legislature from the executive was a dumb idea and Madison should be pillared for it, not celebrated.
As it combines political and economic models in a manner that favors the working class, rather than allowing one to dictate the other. And it builds real regional power, rather than off-loading authority to increasingly remote and alien state and federal institutions.
Verdict remains out on that one.

That sounds like argument from ignorance on multiple levels
Well, I don’t know if they’re right, but please name a better system according to you.
Just for starters…
