Exactly why I said the political system has collapsed.

Our constitution has the 3/5th compromise because our country has literally always been set up for oligarchs

Yep, hopefully if you survive Trump you'll need to overhaul your entire system to prevent a repeat, that's a big if...

Yeah. We need to throw out the constitution and start over imo. The Supreme Court being weaponized by the far right has basically made this government unsalvageable. Not that that will happen

Other countries have rewritten their constitutional documents to modernize them. Can’t do that here, because it’s sacred. Sigh.

Honestly good luck with that.
