    Or why don’t we just keep the system that works and has kept the country running. Why change something when it works as designed ?

      This argument could unironically have been used to support the continued use of gas chambers in Nazi Germany.

      Just because something is “working” as designed doesn’t mean we should keep using it. If the design is terrible then it needs replaced.

        Godwins law.

        The design is fine. It keeps us stable as a nation.

        Also it’ll never pass. 3/4 of the states will never approve it. It’s a non-starter
