Are we allowed to say both sides are bad and the entire system needs to be replaced yet?
I don't know if we are allowed to speak the truth anymore.
Only if you're going to do something about it.
What are you gonna replace it with? Do you know what an absolute shitshow a constitutional congress would be in this day and age. It would actually be easier to dissolve the United States and run each state as in independent country like in the EU.
It's less about replacing the government and more about getting everyone currently involved out of it.
Technically replacing ... in a roundabout way.
You have less faith in your fellow Americans than I do. The key thing to remember is that any amendments proposed in a constitutional convention still need to be returned by 3/4 of the states. That alone will keep anything crazy from being passed.
Or you could say we’re not a cult blindly following an orange idol. We include a diversity of opinions
Plus congressmen should represent their constituents, no matter how spiteful and close-minded
You would have voted for slavery & segregation if it had been the will of your constituency.

I would campaigned on human rights and likely lost badly
Then why are you doing the opposite of that now?
