If that means a return to a parliamentary system of government for the US, I'd take it!

Not that many parliaments are doing a fantastic job globally right now either, tho I do have a soft spot for them

Our system is done and I think we need to stop pretending that there is something left to salvage. No matter what we vote in November it's clear we no longer operate under rules and laws and are no longer a democracy in any sense of the word. Time for us to accept America's 1st democracy failed.

Eh, it worked servicably for over 200 years. That's not a failure, but it's a shame it has to end so soon for such utterly stupid and entirely preventable reasons. My main concern is how the climate crisis says there's not enough time to establish a new and better nation.

Did it though? We never even came close to anything like universal voting rights. Sure we existed as a nation but now that it appears to be over I don't know if I can look back and say we ever had anything close to a representative democracy.
