They did sit it out as much as they could - the Japanese attacked them and then the Germans declared war on them, the US was only involved out of self-defense.
We would probably have been better off if the US had declared war on Germany in September of 1939, rather than Germany declaring war on the US 2¼ years later out of solidarity with Japan.
Since we can speculate how much better it would have been if they'd joined sooner, can we also speculate if it would be worse - at all - if they'd never joined?
