Aspects of our political system which are currently failing and long overdue for reform:
- The two-party system
- The US Senate
- An all-powerful, stand-alone presidency
- A politicized Supreme Court with full veto power over Congress and the executive

Take stock of everything that is failing us right now.
When the moment comes, don’t seek to restore + improve those institutions.
We should replace them.
