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

and as the polity centralizes again we will be dealing with an even worse situation

I don't actually think too much power would be lost in the endavour at least the policies I would send back to states.

what would you propose

In matters of the domestic, the state should maintain sovereignty on its wellfare and health services. The state should also maintain sovereignty in how it will address issues of the right to bare arms and various cultural cornerpieces.

Basically abortion, gun rights, and issues related to culture should be handled by the state itself.

Decent ideas, but yeah, it would eventually re-centralize to the federal level.

Is Gun Rights a State issue tho? *Glances at constitution*

Not now.

However, if it was.

We wouldn't see a Democratic push to federally outlaw them.

Which would cause a massive shitstorm.

I completely disagree. Whether state level or federal, Dems are out to destroy all "Right Wing" social issues. Best way to do this is through federal enforcement.
