I do think that if you stay within the system of liberal democracy, at minimum we need to implement a more modern constitutional order. We've learned a lot about liberal constitutions in 200 years.
However, practically speaking, the political machinery is so ossified that I think only marginal structural changes within the framework are possible (like court packing, electoral vote compacts etc). Political radicals have to do a lot of organizing to build a mass constituency that can make really dramatic alterations without empowering the right wing.
Rest easy, we just want democracy that poor people can participate fully in. Unfortunately, that means the 30-40% right-wingers will be outvoted every single time.
..and don't act like the right isn't trying to build towards calling a constitutional convention if they can capture enough state legislatures. It's well documented. We can be assured that if that came to pass all hell would break loose.
Hi, ex poor person here. It’s called not being lazy or making up excuses. Very rarely is someone actually disadvantaged. But yes communism will some how make people less lazy. And judging by the votes here, you’re wrong.
