Whose constitution is "ours"?

[โ€“] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.fmhy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, I forget that while Reddit had a largely American userbase especially in political posts, Lemmy does not. I refer to the United States Constitution, which I think is damn near perfect, but has been screwed up by multiple generations of voters who pay little or no attention to their government's mismanagement and just keep re-electing the same incumbents despite having shit approval ratings for Congress, because they don't bother to actually do any research of their own or read what the candidates write other than just a few sound bytes on TV.
