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.

We have to think like the French. This marks the end of the American First Republic. There will be a hopefully brief Bourbon interlude, and then eventually an American Second Republic, by which time we may have learned some of the lessons of the first.
