Well that's because you jumped into the middle of this, without following my original post's context. You missed a step. MAGA isn't as big as they seem, they're violent, but they're much smaller than they seem. Even if you discount the various bomb threats, the literal millions of mail in ballots that ended up in various ditches, and other forms of recorded disenfranchisement, there is also evidence of Trump cheating.

What dominates the airwaves and our government is billionaire propaganda to prop up their puppets. No matter what it's going to take more than voting to actually fix the mess. It's going to take some to time to do a spring cleaning.

You can either start that now, or after the mess gets bigger. Clean the house first, then we can start working on renovations.

If the MAGA machine allows Trump to cheat elections, why wouldn't it also cheat the new Constitution?

It's insane to risk that until we clean up the other stuff. Get rid of legalized bribery (aka "political contributions") and get corporate power out of elections, and then we can talk about re-doing the fundamental document safeguarding our liberties from the Donald Trumps of the world.

You like to take stairs 3 steps at a time, don't you?

That's...that's literally what I argue against and what you advocate for.

Buddy, I multiple times explained we would have to clean up first. But you jumped right to the next steps while skipping over everything else, as if that was my argument.

For whatever reason, either due to your own inability comprehend my words, or my inability to write them in a way that allows you to understand, it's seems we're ill suited to communicate.
