    the Constitution should be revisited and updated more often

    Trump would love that…

      That’s why I’m saying we’re way too far gone for that lol I agree. It’s predicated on democratic systems working and those have been broken for a while.

      Edit: We’ve been fucked since Marbury v. Madison and the electoral college, but the idea of a less dogmatic approach to the constitution from the get go has its upsides. Way too late for that and I’m thinking in terms of future societies building off of what might have been done better.

        I’d argue that FPTP is the real barrier. It makes it a FACT that we can only have two parties.

          Absolutely true. I wasn’t even thinking about voting systems with my comments but definitely a significant barrier.
