I think we have to start over. We aren’t one people anymore, nor is our society fit for a modern world. There is just too many structural issues in our politics and economy, that can’t be addressed by gentle reform anymore.
Once you’ve finished your starting over, would you reinstate Citizens United or abolish it?
Once you’ve started over, would you have free healthcare for all, or reinstate privatised insurance company-led doublepay healthcare?
Once you’ve started over, would you build millions of affordable homes, or are you planning on killing enough people that there’s a surplus already?
Once you’ve started over, would you charge for education or make it free?
Once you’ve started over, would you expand social security and reinstate traditional pensions, or reduce social security and continue to assume that everyone will be able to afford a good 401k?
Once you’ve started over, would you raise the minimum wage to an amount that people can realistically live on, or leave it so that corporations can underpay workers and leave social security to foot the bill instead or have starvation and homelessness as the warning to any prole stubborn enough to consider only working a single full time job?
Once you’ve started over, would you demand that the wealthiest people and three corporations pay their fair share of taxes, or would you allow all the tax avoidance schemes from before?
“Start over” is much, much, much emptier words that don’t have any hope of making anything better AT ALL than Bernie’s words.
If your only criticism of Bernie is that there just isn’t enough death and destruction for your tastes, but using that as a reason to disagree with his ideas is nonsensical.
If your criticism amounts to “death first”, then I have to tell you that Trump and ICE wholeheartedly agree with you.
A rewritten Constitution. For example, the 4th Amendment should treat our devices and bodies as “papers and effects”, so that unwarranted searches aren’t constitutional. Ditto for LGBTQ+ and minorities being treated as people from the outset, and more.
In any case, to broadly speak to your points: An replaced Constitution should have a section dedicated to economic fairness and mechanics to uphold a more egalitarian society. For example, workers having the right to vote for leadership positions and pay packages, UBI, universal healthcare, education as a paid job for students, and so on.
The Magna Carta, American Constitution, and French democracy were born of suffering and strife. We are now in a age where that happens again.

That’s all good stuff, 100%, but if the existing constitution had been upheld, Trump would be in prison instead of the White House.
Hence, starting over. We need fresh politicians and an overhauled Constitution to go with them.
