The Dangers Embedded In The Constitution, Its Inadequacy Are Not Going To Go Away No Matter Who Is The Last Man In His 70s Left Standing

Trump and his posse testing positive for Covid-19 brings up just another of the terrible features of our Constitution, what would happen if one of the only people who will win the presidential election dies just before the vote, what if it is the person who the large majority of voters wants to be president instead of the only one left standing?   Trump or anyone else could have given his fellow septuagenarian, Joe Biden Covid.  Hope Hicks could have given it to Amy Coney Barrett who could have given it to who knows who who would have given it to who knows who.  Who knows who around the White House might have given it to Hicks?

Our 18th century Constitution has a lot of ways that it can be a disaster, many of them rather obvious and, due to the difficulty of quickly changing it built into the thing, hard to impossible to fix.  

The whole thing needs to be removed from the pillar it is placed on and the spells of protection around criticizing it removed because it really is a rather awful thing to have kept.  That cult of the Constitution, the cult of the "founders" including the latest bullshit in that "Hamilton" is one of the greatest dangers in American culture because, as I've pointed out, ALL OF THE PROGRESS WE CAN BE PROUD OF, the abolition movement, the Women's' suffrage movement, the workers' rights movement, the many movements that have demanded the equality that was promised by the Declaration of Independence, all of the progress to provide a decent life in a sustainable environment, ALL OF THAT WAS A STRUGGLE AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION THAT THE FOUNDERS WROTE.   And, as I've pointed out, as long as those original corruptions and even the features put there like the impossibility of addressing the kind of disaster we could face if Trump is the last candidate alive on Voting Day, as long as those remain beyond criticism and CHANGE we should expect the disasters that we face to happen.  And, lest it slip our minds THE FASCISTS TRUMP AND MCCONNEL HAVE PUT IN THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY CAN USE THE WORDING OF THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ANY AND ALL OF THAT PROGRESS AS LONG AS THOSE WORDS ARE THERE.

I read somewhere that countries that copied the American presidential system instead of a parliamentary system of government are far more likely to quickly devolve into dictatorship.  Though as we can see from Britain, when any system lets scum like Murdoch turn its media into a super amplified lie machine, even that doesn't protect democracy our system with its obscene easily rigged Electoral College, its winner-takes-all, fixed term presidency with a range of powers and a legal system under his control is even more of a patsy of that kind of effort.

There is a lot that we have seen destroyed in the Trump era, there is a lot that has been destroyed by his predecessor Republican-gangster presidents, the Bush-Cheny years, in particular.  Anyone who piously mouths the habitual platitudes of civic faith without admitting that those are an enormous danger is the enabler of that danger. I figure someone has to point this stuff out.  

We should have a clear means of voters rejecting a Trump as they do for voting for a Biden, without that we are one man in his seventies traveling and campaigning during a pandemic away from catastrophe.
