The American Constitution is an outdated, malfunctioning piece of junk — and it's only getting worse.
When written, the Constitution made a morally hideous compromise with slavery that took a war and 750,000 lives to make right. And while its basic structure sort of worked for awhile in the 20th century, the Constitution is now falling prey to the same defects that has toppled every other similar governing document the world over.

This guy wants the US to become a Westminster Parliamentary system with the Senate becoming a toothless upper house and the POTUS a Prime Minister elected by the House.

America's Constitution is terrible. Let's throw it out and start over. The old saw is that the United States is a country designed by geniuses and run by morons. Now this guy wants the morons to redesign it?
To: C19fan
the constitution is not flawed... it is we the people that have lost our moral compass. take charge people. start demanding adherence to the contract we have allowed the governing to govern us.

The easiest solution is to eliminate the senate filibuster. That way, Congress will be able to legislate again.

Those who think the Constitution is “terrible” need to pack up and move to a country where there is no Constitution. North Korea would be perfect for them.

And while its basic structure sort of worked for awhile in the 20th century, The author is dishonest. The XX Century in America was characterized by an increasing rejection of the Constitution. The present government is a nightmare swamp because it has spread to areas forbidden to it by the Constitution. What we have is not a failure of the Constitution, but a refusal of people in government to obey it.

Dude’s a major pillowbiter. If you look closely, it looks like he has an earring in the other ear too.
