Don’t get me wrong, they definitely put some good things in the Constitution. I think they are mostly concessions to keep the average person (who this is has changed over the years as we’ve amended things to ostensibly expand voting rights) FEELING like they have a way when the reality is our Constitution contains tons of purposefully anti democratic structures in it.
The Senate, the electoral college, the supreme court, and the independent presidency need to be done away with. We should instead have a unicameral parliamentary system where power comes from the people and is truly representative of their will.
i think bicameralism has a place IF we actually learn from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy instead of just half ass copy their homework like we did last time. we gotta do it right and actually build anti-authoritarian systems into our ways of being. our founding fathers were a bunch of oligarchs who were still pretty sure an enlightened autocrat might be the way
