i think we are, but the archaic system in place allows the cavemen the same chances as everyone else to compete and thus you have those like Trump getting elected.
I don’t think it’s just a systemic problem, but I’m curious what methods you would use to prevent the Trumps of the future from getting power.
As far as I’m concerned he’s just a useful idiot that serves as a major distraction from those actually pulling the strings behind the curtain. Those are the people that need to be curtailed from having such power.
I say that because his backers are extremely aggressive, manipulative sociopathic bullies who will always find ways to twist things to their advantage. Whatever system you come up with will inevitably have some cracks that they will eventually figure out how to exploit.
Your system would need to prevent such sociopaths from ever developing while somehow still allowing the freedoms most Americans want.
Until capitalism is lynched with prejudice those with money and power will tear down any safeguards put in place to stop them. Rid the word of capitalism and maybe we have a chance.
Direct democracy and the head of state and law makers having no real power beyond implementing what was voted on would be fine. It won’t be perfect and it will be gamed but surely it’s better than what we have now.

how is it not a systemic problem if it allows people who does not belong in power to exploit the system and gain power?
like, these fuckers has, since the days of reagan, kept adding holes in the system so they can cheat to win.
patch those holes and they got no chance. start with the EC. then broadcasting. then legal bribery. and we’re off to a good start.
