The Great Divide and Apathy Towards Politics

[Minimalist]

It is 2017 and America still runs based on some document that was written over 200 years ago...

Except for the obvious fact that it has been amended 27 times and redefined by the courts a shitload of times.  Actually, I think we have made a great deal of progress from the original which was written by a bunch of slave-owning elites who thought blacks were 3/5 of a human being ( and women and Indians were less than that.)  Which is not to say that improvements are not needed.  Time to get rid of the electoral college and the absurd idea that each state gets two senators regardless of population.

But be careful what you wish for.  The same forces of reaction ( and racism ) which are poisoning current political discussion will be instrumental in writing any replacement.

That's a scary fucking thought.  Look what the fuckers did to us last year.
