The US needs a new constitution and a new model
The existing model assumes politicians will play fair, it never accounted for parties gaming the justice system, presidents ignoring the constitution or politicians being bought by foreign interests. There are no checks and balances if they can just be ignored. It's a platform for fascism.
The only independent branch of the US that could possibly make the changes necessary to remake America is the military at this point. Political financing means democrats have too much to lose to re-orient the system back to the people.
Citizens united should have triggered it but trump has made it an immediate priority.
The billionaires behind trump should be completely asset stripped so none of them every try another business plot
"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." - George Washington
Should have diluted the influence of political parties by getting rid of First-past-the-post voting and making 3rd parties viable without a spoiler effect.
Dont worry blue conservatives, you've will get the opportunity to earn your incremental change. When we become a one party state, you can still compete in Republican primaries! Shouldn't be a problem right?
