ive never been down with the idea of democracy, in the sense of a true democracy. but a democratic republic is probably the best bet. the one in place will SUFFICE, but i'd much prefer one similar to ancient rome. only landowners having a say since they actually have skin in the game. but again, its basic functions will be so stripped down that its mainly voting in a commander in chief more so than anybody pushing policies, because most policies again are a hindrance to the individual freedoms of the common man.

i also wouldn't mind adopting consuls over a singular president. so even less gets done. basically like trump and hillary would be co consuls with equal say. obviously nothing sounds worse than those two being in charge of anything, but they're just the example. obama and romney, bush and gore etc. just another set of checks and balances before hitting the others

and fuck it since we're adopting all that just bring the full on roman senate and have a tribune of the plebs, someone like AOC wouldve been a modern nominee for comparison. someone who is supposed to be the voice of the lowest class, who has veto power, so even if both consuls agree on some form of legislation it can still be stopped.

the roman republic was such a magnificent system it had to be forcefully overthrown after 700ish years of fucking GLORY, because the powerful couldn't make it do what they pleased. blame caesar that great bastard of a man. well honestly sulla for giving caesar the blueprint.

but really we deserve the state we are currently in for adopting such a wonderful system and then fucking it all up by mixing it with the ideals of the savage iroquois confederation.

but i digress
Gosh. I guess we just have fundamentally different ideas about how society should be organized, but this been a really fun thought experiment. Thanks for playing.
