Winston Churchill once said "democracy is the worst form of government... Except for all those other ones we've tried from time to time." I agree our system of democracy is very sclerotic (appropriate word to describe it). We have so much legislative ossification to get anything done. I had the radical idea to just decentralize the federal government and go back to city-states (like Monaco, Liechtenstein, Singapore, formerly Hong Kong.) 80% of the population lives in cities and the majority of them vote liberal. Most of our problems seem to be an urban-rural divide so it would make sense to just let them govern themselves and people can just move.
