Comment on tbh as a Canadian, I deplore the current US federal administration and basically the entire GOP, but I still admire the US Constitution and those who fight for it

The US constitution was written to protect slavers and oligarchs from the masses, not to actually provide democracy. Less than 7% of the population was even legally allowed to vote at our founding, and without the senate and electoral college, the US might actually be a real, functional modern state instead of publicly funded security force for corporations, oligarchs, and whoever has blackmail material on the pedophile in chief. We need to rewrite the whole thing from scratch after the current regime is deposed to make sure nothing remotely like what’s happening now can ever happen again.
