    Sure we have plenty of high-hanging fruit:

    • antiquated voting laws
    • asymmetrical representation
    • oligarchy via political funding
    • military industrial complex

    But we didn’t start a world war that killed millions of people, that we’re still digging up unexploded munitions from, and that gave us the ability to fix some of our governmental systems and implement social and societal change (at least for white European folks).

        The first 3 I listed are why, yes. And it sucks that the Supreme Court and some dudes 250 years ago put us in this situation.
