Isn’t it time we reconsidered the office of the U.S. presidency?

Should a single man, subject to personal biases, political pressures, and limited perspectives, hold such overwhelming power over national and foreign policy? Is that really democracy, or collective governance?

Nah, that's not the problem.
The issues really are systemic and political. You can't go there. You're completely powerless or you are like me - left out, the enemy

@Roundandroundwego People like you and me don't stand a chance. It takes massive amounts of money from billionaire donors and strict loyalty to the political establishment. The only senator in the U.S. Senate today with any influence outside the two major parties is Bernie Sanders, who identifies as an independent. And that's because Vermont has long stood apart politically from much of the country, since the days of the Underground Railroad.

@Jokersswild yes. The apocalypse is the will of the US majority.
