The UK doesn't have a Constitution. So, yes - you obviously don't know
I said UK-wannabe, in that your system is heavily UK-influenced. Your demographics are 60%+ UK heritage (
take a look at ours). Your population is 1/10th ours and all concentrated in city-islands surrounded by desert. Is it any surprise that you all might have an easier time nationally agreeing on things?

Yes. Obviously. That is why the USA is winning so bigginly.
We've always done terrible things. You're only just paying attention now. Writing a litany of grievances and blaming it on the Constitution is silly. We are the problem - our constitution is fine.
And the fact that you hear about these injustices, and you hear the outcry, is actually testimony to our system working. There are a lot of nations that would sweep this stuff under the rug.

Why not go for compulsory voting?
Oy, pip-pip everyone! Time to queue up to vote on our
personal liberty or else the bobby's will lock you up!
This country was founded on the freedom of the individual, with the idea that eventually people will figure out how to do it right. It was not founded on the concept of "daddy knows best". No, if we want to run into the street, we have every damn right to. We'll sue you for stopping us from running into the street. And then we'll sue you for not stopping us from running into the street.
Everyone should have the option to vote. That is all. That it does not always work out like that is a failing of our local governments - not our constitution.

I feel really let down. We have always know that the USA were bastards. But they were our bastards so we turned a blind eye to the military atrocities.
This clown of a president is the first president in a while who's been averse to committing troops to endless conflict and he's gotten a lot of flak for it. But for some reason you're amped up about our domestic politics. I guess yours aren't as fun to watch? Do you go around telling your neighbors what they should do, too?
You live in a country where "tribal justice" is legal because you feel so terrible for what you did to the natives, but I can see how you might think you know better.

And I have investments in the USA that I really now regret.
You don't have to feign concern for our domestic injustices to just say that this is what you care about.
Pull the money out. Or don't. Our stock market is not far from where it was before the pandemic, so it's a good time.
The USA was around before you and it'll be around after you. I think you probably watch too much news, just like everyone else. By the way: thank you for Rupert Murdoch.
