Is it due to what we eat, our social media, the alphabet propaganda machine (most likely)?

Let us have a discusion on this if possible.

      ranked choice is one way to possibly get there.

      Another would be to force turn over with term limits. I mean, Mitch McConnell has been a senator for longer than I’ve been alive,

        whether it’s “ranked choice” or “term limits” or “Supreme Court ethics”, can you fix any of this, in a Constitutional Framework?

          congress can- if they pull their heads out of their asses- impose ethics on the supreme court. States can go to ranked choice voting simply by doing it. Term limits would likely have to take an amendment.

          yes. we can fix it. Will it be easy? absolutely not because these assholes built a system to share power between the two parties specifically because sharing power was more advantageous than risking people that would not maintain the status quo in. (No, this isn’t a “both sides” argument. the republicans being objectively, subjectively and in any other way you care to measure it genuinely awful people, does not mean the democrats aren’t assholes, too.)
