The Left has always looked down on America. They want to tear up the Constitution, overturn it and rewrite it. If they had the power, they would. They don't want equal justice, God-given rights, free speech. They want to radically change our national fundamentals. Pick it, pack the Court, national popular vote, abolish the filibuster, you name it, all in the name of "democracy." It's their favorite word.

It has been for progressives for over 100 years. They thought we were a democracy. We've always been a constitutional republic. Before Obama was elected in 2008, he said that we were just days away from "fundamentally transforming the United States of America." Did Obama think America was broken? A puzzle that was in a million pieces and had to be put together?

I just love when reactionaries go on about how "wE'Re a ConStiTuTiONaL rEpUbLic!!!" as if we're not allowed to change how we do things if people think it's a bad way to run things. And no, saying "just pass a constitutional amendment if you want change" isn't valid because Wyoming and North Dakota and like 20 other little states sure as hell aren't gonna vote to curtail their own massively outsized power.

The US constitution is just absolute dogshit, worst constitution in the world objectively.

    Let me say this in a way chuds will understand: America is a shit country and if it continues to pretend that the constitution is flawless then it will never learn to improve.

      Even the bourgeois "framers" understood you need to add amendments and be flexible from time to time. But the idea they pushed that the constitution is this unassailable document inevitably morphed into "the constitution is good as it is actually" to many of their dipshit heirs.
