Easy, three examples of where the US system has failed in the last two years:

1. Congressional authority for federal spending. The current administration has withheld or redirected spending that lawmakers had already approved.

2. Independence of the Department of Justice. A number of examples where the current administration has pressured DoJ representatives to pursue obviously ridiculous and un-pursuable charges against political 'enemies'.

3. Almost anything that DOGE did. Choose your example from the grab bag.

And the bonus round of breaching constitutional norms such as birthright citizenship and outright defiance of court orders.

The system hasn't failed because someone I dislike got elected, the system failed because the system is not constraining the current administration from their overt system-contravening actions.
