Flawed means "not really democratic" here. Full democracy mean "as democratic as possible". I think 0 countries have a grade 10, and nobody said that a full democracy was a flawless country.

I get that.... my point is using the word "flawed" here is probably itself flawed. Pure Democracy sucks balls. That is why the US Founding Fathers wanted nothing to do with it.

Hahaha using the US as an example of why flawed democracy is good is honestly hilarious ! Good one here. Loving it. The US is indeed doing so great, right ? ... Right ??

If the SCOTUS did their job and actually restricted the other branches from violating the constitution, then it would be doing a whole lot better. We have degraded into a near democracy. That's the the problem.

And frankly the founding father were probably great guys with great ideas, but if your political views and project are the same as people 300 years ago, let's face it they probably suck. You know what made founding father interesting figures ? They wanted novelty, innovation, new ideas. You're doing the exact opposite clinging to a 300 years old text, and that is betraying their very spirit. And considering the political innovation spirit those guys showed, they'd be ashamed to see people use their names to prevent any change and adaptation to the current times and problematics. They did the exact opposite.

Not democracy. Assault weapon are newer, require new laws. Universal healthcare is newer. Same sex marriage. Ban on all racial laws. Many, many things are newer, require new laws, new way to function. Abortion. But no, "tHe FOunDiNg FatErs DidN't PuT It In de CONstiTUtiOn"

You need to read up on the Constitution. It doesn't require that every law be written in the constitution itself.

I don't need to read the Constitution.
First, it's a 300 years old document that is widely obsolete because of it's age. It could be much better if some violently backward dickheads didn't refuse to update it for the last 50 years (one update in 50 years. One. 30 years ago, when Internet was some lab experiment that grew).
Second, I'm not a US citizen, so I'll simply let you buy bulletproof backpack for your kids and put aside 10 000 $ either to pay your health insurance or in case you would brake you ankle someday, and go do something more productive with my time.

Just kidding. I'll keep browsing Reddit.
The rest I wasn't kidding.I know it's not original as a take on the US, but there is a very good reason everyone make the same take : it unbelievable considering how much money you have. Half your population lives like third world when you have one of the highest GDP per capita in the world.

You not only need to read the constitution, you need to read up on economics.
