Nothing is perfect, and the American system relies on
A) an educated population (that’s why education is first thing on the chopping block in republican budgets)
B) representatives in office who adhere to their oaths to protect the constitution. (We have a party currently seeking to end representative democracy and billionaires that have worked for 40 plus years to errode it to the point its gotten to)
In theory, it’s one of the best forms of governance ever created. It’s one weakness relies on the majority to “do the right thing.” Unfortunately, the republican party has done so much damage over time it’s going to take a long time to fix. Will the American population be able to understand that? Guess we will see.
340 million souls and an arsenal of nuclear arms warrants a more critical examination of what went wrong than “guess we’ll see.”
You just tried to rephrase exactly what I said was the problem as if it’s some noble flaw, no, being designed to rely on everyone acting in good faith is stupidity and naivete at its most blatant.
Not even because I’m a cynic who believes people are inherently self interested or whatever the fuck, because they act self interestedly often enough that building a major government system around presumption of good faith is a sign that you are a complete moron who doesn’t understand how anything actually works.
