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.

Technically we’re already on our second. The first failed nearly immediately.

colonial era != continental congress era != founding era != reconstruction era != preera != interwar era != cold war era != post-cold war era != current era; tho folks can draw the lines in different places

Even the founding era needs to be broken into the Articles and the Constitution.
