I think acknowledging that the US has fundamental issues that need to be address is a completely fair statement. What nobody can ever seem to answer is, where does the threat to US hegemony come from? China is fundamentally unstable and while it will absolutely be the dominant power in that part of the world, it's unclear whether or not China's growth is sustainable in the long term and nothing good ever comes from leaders who stay in power for decades.
The US still has one fundamental superpower that the doomsday economists always fail to account for. The US can take immigrants from nearly anywhere in the world and within a generation, their children will become 100% culturally American.
There's no other country in the world that brings people into our culture the way Americans do. Is it perfect? Absolutely not.
