the US political system is completely broken, and it's destroying a great country. it's a leadership problem, and needs someone who is capable of detaching and acting in the best interest of the country, not themselves or their party.

they need a complete reboot. rewrite the constitution (it's overdue). rebuild the democratic voting functions (they're a mess and don't work).

What’s your proposal? How do you find that altruistic leader, and if you find them, how do you get them elected, and if you do, how do you arrange to get them enough support in Congress?

I don’t like democracy that much, and it looks like Churchill didn’t either. But neither Churchill nor me can come up with anything better.

I completely agree.
