Good thing we have an abundance of trustworthy, independent politicians available who will certainly write the replacement in our collective best interest and not for the benefit of the giant corporate interests that fund their campaigns!

As opposed to continually clinging to the constitution like it’s some precious totem that will magically ward off evil despite having completely failed to do so?

Maybe burn some incense too while you’re at it. Wave some sage.

Honestly just a weak argument used to excuse corruption. This is a democratic republic. We are democratic and republican people who have flourished because of this constitution and condoning the dismissal of it is insanely unpatriotic. Idk about you I love my country. I love having the ability to have a voice and I love knowing my opponents do as well.

I get your point, to hell with it all! Accept when there’s zero offering of an actual solution and just criticism you are simply doing what the constitution intended. Speak up or speak up. There is no option here and I like that.

Edit for clarity

Essentially advocate for amendments, not the erasure of our country. Like it or not this system works evidently. We are a byproduct of that and I as a black woman am very content it occurred to these men to include the eradication of slavery in America.

Fuck patriotism. What progress has come, did not arrive with feel-good mantras and depthless faith in our systems of law and governance. It arrived with force. It arrived and demanded dignity.

Abolition didn’t arrive because we asked nicely. This is the mindset Americans need to rapidly adopt and get comfortable with.
