but there would be many more situations in which nepotism would be more viable under a more diffuse system of power

A system of elective monarchy with restrictions on nepotism, which also upholds the interests of the sovereign, is essentially the idea behind a Democratic Republic.

if you really stretch the concept of what a monarch is sure

True, but the very idea of an "elective monarchy" is a stretch in itself

At that point you're just arguing over term limits

but the problem is that like an american president is only concerned about the effects their policies will have at most 4 years into the future

and of course the system is also entropic

the more the president matters the less coherent the system is in the long term as well

since it produces constant changes in leadership

I wouldn't be opposed to scrapping term limits if the people had the right to hold an emergency vote of removal once for every 4 years.

It still affords the swiftest means for correction. 8 Years is the most a president can serve in their position, with a considerable election every 4 years in which the public if afforded the ability to elect a replacement if necessary.

But I'll agree, the constant changes in leadership by two parties with opposing viewpoints can be terrible for long-term policies.

I would say make 8 year term presidencies.

With that exception above.

the problem is you kind of miss the window for establishing effective long term leadership in a mature republic that produces a divisive political scene such as our own

Well it wasn't like term limits was a concept to the founding fathers.

the problem is is that the system was not designed to be efficient

which was fine when it had a lot less on its plate to manage

but historical progression changed that

yeah they were introduced after FDR

There is a strong argument to remove them.

Especially since a second term president is no longer truly accountable to the people.

partisan politics really fucks things up

like if you look at madison

he thought that the system would naturally be inclined to not produce partisan politics

he was pretty wrong on that one

The thing we should be trying to do is slowly devovle the role of the federal government and give states back their responsibilities.

and this is part of the problem i think, because ultimately nobody is smart enough to design a system that can, of its own volition, account for all the variables that will be thrown at it, especially in the long term

the founders should have accepted their role as a natural aristocracy

Well I say my point because if Democrat and Republican people can both live in what kind of US they want to live in, partisan politics will lessen.

i just want the usa to balkanize

I don't think balkanizing is necessary.

A lot of the issues result from federal overreach.

i think that political centralization largely flows from military centralization

also i would say there are deep division within states

Perhaps but it is easier to move between states than countries.

if you take two white parts of any states and compare them with white and black parts within the same state the former will probably be more harmonious

Well it's a matter of at least addressing divisions.

Because if people can choose their own destiny easier, we won't see radicalization nearly as much.

but this is the problem i have with this

i think these sorts of decentralization measures are temporary at best
