The electoral college, the Senate giving small rural states out of proportion power, gerrymandering... There were many promises made to originally bring the slave states into the United States. Our constitution reeks of it. The reds exploit it. It won't last forever.
I still would like to see another constitutional convention. I would strip the old slavery compromises out. I would give the People a direct networked veto over the representative Congress with its support for elites. I would enumerate rights, strip off the legislation from the Supreme Court bench, make the powers of Congress enumerated again, make the states sovereign again, and do a little more.
But we are not ready for it yet. We are too disunited right now. It is not yet time.
