Even Jefferson surmised it should be radically updated every few decades. I think he’d and many others would be pissed to realized we’re all held hostage by compromises that barely made sense at the time.
When a book of fiction is considered perfect and the word of god by more than half the population that supports this model… well, your answer is obvious. This works, for the “right” people, even though it’s very wrong. And half the voting population want to make it worse.
The other half want to genocide Muslims in the name of protecting white privilege. Turns out, both sides are right wing, one simply more right than the other.
I think its interesting how the grifting right has moved away from the “Founding Fathers” to the “Constitution” because they know the fathers would see how shit’s being run and be outright mortified!
Yes I’m aware we have had some amendments. Ending slavery. Allowing women to vote. Direct election of Senators.
What about gerrymandering? Cap in the house leading to bad representation? The senate? I mean the senate still exists. States aren’t people like people pretended they were. So much has not changed.
You’re point was to say no you can’t…then at the very end say well you can but.
I was commenting on the first part. And no it doesn’t always require judicial capture for bad laws to be passed. Plenty of bipartisan shit gets sent through. It’s not like the patriot act was just allowed through by on the red team.

“We never should have left the monarchy…”
It certainly feels radically different than a few decades ago…
Thinking our gov hasn’t been updated means you’re not paying attention. There has been a ton of changes since the founding of the country.

There are tons of laws that circumvent amendments already, why do you think we need straight up amendments to the constitution to get things done?
But how many in the last few decades? When was the last amendment?
Amendments don’t really matter when laws are created constantly that circumvent them.
You can’t circumvent the Constitution with a law. That’s the point.
Only with judicial capture.
Lol the fuck you can’t, tons of amendments are constantly being circumvented. This is just plainly false.
You should look up what judicial capture means.
