Eh. I agree that first past the post is a problem and there are better alternatives like ranked choice that should be adopted. It’s not the flaw that we disagree on.

The Supreme Court was created by congress and via arbitrary bullshit from… the Supreme Court.

The federal court system and the judicial authority to interpret the Constitution received little attention in the debates over the drafting and ratification of the Constitution. The power of judicial review, in fact, is nowhere mentioned in it.

It’s dishonest to claim others don’t get the main flaw of US democracy while you arbitrarily conflate the constitution with Marbury v. Madison, mistake discussions in the 1700s for decades of lobbying and generally put forth an argument that everything was fucked from the get go. It ignores the role of current nefarious actors and gives a pass to what is happening right now.
