Which democracies is Russia trying to subvert in ways the US isn't? You could argue that Russia is supporting nationalist movements in most of Europe, but there are very similar efforts from the US.
For example, in my own country, Romania, US religious groups stoked local religious groups to initiate a referendum to change of our constitution to ban gay marriage (they actually made it through all the steps and the referendum was held, but so few people showed up to vote that it fell through). Would this count? It was done through false news and propaganda (and probably some minor corruption, but that's just par for the course), but otherwise through legal means - same as all modern Russian influence in Europe that I've heard of.
Let's not forget that the US has explicitly assassinated its own citizens for 'suspicion of terrorism' as well, though they're at least not assassinating their own citizens on their own territory, and not in the kind of huge numbers that Russia and China are.
