Is American democracy the shittiest version of democracy on earth?
Considering it's one the oldest/longest lasting, that checks out
I really struggle to understand why Americans are proud that they have never updated their constitution in 200 years. It's a bug, not a feature.
Idk if you're painfully ignorant or just lying but it's been amended 27 times.
It is kind of lame we still haven't ratified the ERA though.
Absolutely agree
This comment should win an award for its confident stupidity. Google “constitutional amendments”.
As an American, same. Except for the original reason behind freedom of speech and a few other things protecting the people, we need a lot of updates. A lot of updates.
It’s been updated many times!
Maybe it's just my lemmy app (jerboa ftw) but I like how your post got read as a markdown list item, like this is the 27th thing you had to say on the topic but the other 26 got deleted.
Does it for me in jerboa too lol. I thought about editing it and trying to escape that but I decided I didn't care.
It really scares me how many upvoted this comment has.
It has been updated. That's what "amendments" are...updates. Here's a list.
