If we get a new Constitution (face, the one we have right now will not survive the damage). I would want some kind of parliament instead of the bicameral system.

If we ever get our government back we need to update the Constitution. One thing that needs to go is winner-take-all.

“The Constitution was designed with the presumption that the different branches — Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court — would jockey for power, and in so doing check each other’s excesses.”

The problem with America is that both parties were compromised with corporate money, and their survival relies on it. The moment you have a third or fourth party in the mix plus independents, the corporate influence wanes away.

Those jingles in the ‘70s were all the US bothered with.
