Regarding the constitution, I think there's an interesting and often unfounded loyalism people are trained to have toward these documents that politicians and even presidents don't respect anyway. I won't pretend I could just craft a better constitution, but it's not useful to pretend that the slave-owning, musket carrying founders who drafted these documents would have expected we'd still be interpreting them today after we launched planes into the air and established a thing like the internet.

A better system wouldn't be easy to get to, and I doubt it could be done bloodlessly, but the idea of ultimately ending up in a nation where we all feel better represented, and with founding documents that aren't so rife with holes and openings for misinterpretation, isn't an impossible dream.
