Only problem is you label everything left of you as socialist. Ronald Reagan couldn't run in today's Republican party because he would be labeled as a socialist. Nixon? That tree hugger can kick rocks.
Again, you can't seem to square how you feel about the constitution with the political reality we live in. YOUR party refuses to revisit campaign finance and it was the justices you put in place that has further eroded the power that the constitution gives the people.
Gun control? Overwhelmingly on the left and the right people are in favor of universal background checks and closing gun show loopholes. It gets shot down every time it is brought up because of right wing backed groups and gun producers throwing millions at politicians. The will of the people is getting shot down in the name of profit. So no, the processes don't work like they are supposed to because of a system that you support. Everything you personally deem as "American" is looked at with rose colored glasses and everything left of your position is a "danger" to the country no matter how big or small an issue. You wax poetic about the constitution but ignore the policies your party is in favor of that directly erode the power it gives people. But hey, you got lower taxes that ballooned the deficit and a few more judges who don't believe in evolution so its all good.
