Parliamentary democracy is the BEST form of government yet designed. Constitution is a relic of a bygone age. Problem is, a convention is worse?

[DrPepper12]

The republican (small r) Constitution is a suicide pact by virtue of its origin. The Constitution is an anachronistic paradigm. It is too hard to amend. Most importantly, its a creation of the STATES to create a FEDERAL government without ceding too much power (,10th amendment)

The Constitution is no longer operable and needs to revised / start over.

The Constitution was created by heroic men and is the last best hope for mankind.

The Constitution is flawed yes but until we stop the Cold civil war its useless

Without public campaign finance, its useless. We need reps free from fundraising!

You just want some dumb ass election where you can get all your Dems inside the government and do whatever they want for "democracy" like the UK does.

This ain't Europe, the USA is not socialist, the USA is a Republic, it was founded by great Christian men and real leaders smarter than most who would tear down at the fabric of what started this nation.

Well yeah, if you won an election you get to implement policy. you're wrong on the other 2 "points"

Elaborate don't just say I'm wrong. Use detail if you even can.

Winning an election doesn't mean tearing down the constitution. If a Republican said this you'd all be screaming 1984 and Handmades tale.

It’s not hard. It’s been done and I said it isn’t perfect. All you need is a MAJORITY to see things your way. It’s that simple

[gorydetails]

Yes, we know you commies want daddy government to control your every move.

[DrPepper12]

How does parliamentary govt equal more control?

[gorydetails]

The constitution is the best document ever created to form a government. The federal government should be weak.

[DrPepper12]

Then why not make it a confederation and weaken it further?

Oh, and the Constitution is a irredeemably flawed, anachronistic, inflexible guarantor of paralysis.

[gorydetails]

Lol, sounds good.

And you’re completely incorrect about the constitution. You just don’t like your lefty daddies can’t be little dictators.
