The founding fathers didn’t intend for parties to exist, let alone primaries, or for there to be such a split in the interests of the ruling class as for the 2nd place candidate not being opposed to the winner’s agenda, hence when the vp used to go to 2nd place.
They also didn’t intend the SCOTUS to rule on the legality of laws.
Really not sure that makes sense as a solution. If people like their politician, why primary them? If politicians know they’ll just be primaried anyway then it really doesn’t matter if they enact the will of the people or that of corporations in the first place. That’s one of the big concerns with term limits too. If the incumbent is there due to corporate funding, the next one likely will be too. We need to stop corporations from funding elections and have strict laws that we actually follow around insider trading. Complete divestment for anyone in elected office.
The solution is for Americans to primary incumbent politicians regularly. Literally how the founding fathers designed the country to work.
