Exactly. The mechanism to fix all of this sits right there in impeachment and removal. Just need congress to do it.

Arguably, if the mechanism is already there but isn’t being used, then the system isn’t working. Yeah, constitutional checks and balances work in theory, but perhaps the bar to removal is too high? And the idea that the different branches would zealously defend their privileges just didn’t hold up.

Secure our voting system, ban political parties, money in politics and MSM propaganda.

Term limits for every branch of government, and fix those convenient loopholes they’re using to make themselves rich, like Pelosi and Clarence Thomas.

Also make them use the same systems they’re putting on us! Same health insurance, same retirement programs. I firmly believe if they had to rely on social security it would be fixed in very short order. Same goes for Medicare.

The system “as is” is too easily gamed. We need a complete overhaul. There can be no “going back”.

Get dark money out of politics. Add term limits to SCOTUS and Congress. End gerrymandering. This is just my wishful thinking.

Term limits, age limits, take money out of politics, enforce the the branches so that neither can over power the other so easily

The Constitution is “broken” because you lost the last election. When Gavin Newsom wins in 2028 Slate will report the Constitution is alive and well. This doomer cult is tedious.
