“People being silenced” is not part of the reason the US is classified as a flawed democracy. In fact, freedom of speech and pluralism is the one area where the US scores exceptionally well with a 9.58/10.

So while you might have an anecdote of some person being silenced in some social circle, in the grand scheme of things it’s not impacting the democracy of the US negatively. Rather, the democracy of the US is positively impacted by its freedom of speech and pluralism.
