Are the libs really trying to quote the constitution at us now? Read Federalist Papers #10 if you give so much of a shit about how the founders thought government was supposed to work.
These were people who led a revolution to replace the feudal ruling class with their own capitalist ruling class. It was literally democracy by and for the bourgeoisie. It was in their class interest for these protections to work and one of their biggest concerns was factionalism, which became a problem almost immediately and ultimately became so ubiquitous that even the most apolitical folks will complain about “division” and talk about how all the parties serve rich people.
Separation of powers my ass. Go take a look at the size of the executive bureaucracy and tell me how much you think the founders expected congress to abdicate large swaths of their power to the executive branch due to factional pressure. It’s such a bullshit argument, even from a non-leftist point of view.
this nerd thinks we care about the pathetic justifications libs make for not being able to do good things
