They probably did considering the unprecedented, massive and voluntary migration of people from all over the world into said country.
Lmfao “voluntary” as if the US isn’t one of the biggest contributors to other places being poor and/or wartorn.
Never mind the marginalisation that those who aren’t white (or even white “enough”) or abled or cis or straight or christian experience.

The blatant failures of the current system have become the benefits for the ruling class. That’s why they won’t ever change it. It’s like a broken vending machine that no one will admit is broken because they keep getting free candy out of it.
Except the system isn’t failing because it isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed.
If they just used a better election format, that could have fixed so much. I don’t think they envisioned such a large population. More than two parties can work at small scale but fails at large scale. And getting that changed is such a task I’m not even sure how it could happen right now.
I think it’s actually easier than it may seem. Iirc states get to pick what election system they use to send representatives to Congress. If a single larger state switches to PR and a third party wins a few seats, they could instantly become a kingmaker if the house is divided.
