I know all political systems have their problems and limitations, gotta say that sucks especially the part about one man blocking new laws and also having extremists running a court? That’s literally the opposite of what a court should be in my opinion.
I guess that would make it really hard for anyone, even a president, to put meaningful changes in place.
Over here we have a competent leader totally bogged down and derailed by their party extremists. He could be good, but the system itself means he’s really not. Sounds like America has a version of that too.
About a thousand years ago, a Duke came over from Normandy as part of an invasion of my country.
He even built a castle not far from where I grew up. Sadly I’m not allowed to own that castle or live in it.
