    fr Americans talk about their constitution like it’s a holy text, it’s embarrassing. If they’re gonna worship it to that standard then how about updating it? Or writing a new one that’s good?

          I genuinely think most American problems come from the fact the US constitution is stupid

          like how most British political problems come from the public school system (schools rich people pay money to go to) and people with politics degrees being in politics. If Britain wanted to get back to being run by people capable of operating our political system we would replace every labour MP with a trade union official and every tory MP with someone currently in prison for racketeering

      Because it’s a holy text. Just like the Bible can’t really be “updated” anymore because it’s been “completed” by scribes thousands of years ago. The constitution is complete. There is nothing more you can do to it, lest you dare blaspheme against Our Founding Fathers
