39. It has been corrupted.

It can be fixed. However, we have to want to do it, not just give lip service to wanting things to change. And, that includes everyone.

Democracy cannot work unless everyone is playing by those rules. The constant trying to corrupt the system in the name of personal greed is revolting, insulting, and (quite frankly) treasonous, and should be treated as such from now on. Don't let anyone 'imbalance' the Constitution anymore. It has been, but it can be corrected.

I mean, once we remove the greatest example of what I just said and his flying monkeys from power, it can be corrected.
