In regards to Hillary, the Superdelegates did indeed it seems sway that election. Nevertheless due to Hillary's prominence in the party, and because of the urgency of that time a deal had to be made. Perhaps just a fun little 2008 factbite and how the 2008 Democrat Primary was much more close and wonky than it appears in hindsight.
Again, it shows though that she isn't an unbeatable juggernaut. The proverbial goddess can bleed.
In regards to the US and my analogy, it is a fitting analogy, for the US was set up to fail. Therefore just as it makes no sense in investing in a corporation that was set up to fail, it makes no sense to put trust in the US which is set up to fail, regardless of the lofty promises it makes.
For over a century the Constitution served as a decent framework for government in that it took into account human frailties. It was not perfect, of course. It needed augmentation. The fact the country is the way it is now is hardly the Constitution's fault.
I do not argue for lawlessness, nor for anarchy. I have merely said the US Constitution is obsolete and not even the US government adheres to it at this point in time. Even toilet paper is more useful than the US Constitution. Therefore indeed we cannot trust in the US Constitution, nor in America.
I do believe that the lawlessness and anarchy which is of the world and all her principalities, will be one day abolished. Therefore it be prudent for you and I to seek for a place in the Kingdom eternal, which draws nigh and is even at hand.
Again, non-adherence to something that works does not mean the thing itself is the problem or fit to be toilet paper. Athens did not follow Solon's laws. Are they toilet paper? Rome eventually transitioned from a Republic to an Empire. Were Roman Laws all trash? The last I had heard, Mesopotamia no longer follows Hamurabi's Code? I guess we can deface that too. How about Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers? Those are old legal codes too. The Magna Carta? The Justinian Code? Dale's Laws?
All of these are fit to be studied in their context for a multitude of reasons. Among them is that we learn about human nature. In the grand scheme of things the United States Constitution is a recent development, but it is one of the most recent and rich pieces of a generation doing its best to put timeless truths into action.
One of the truths that generation realized is that in order for a system to exist, there must be civic virtue and a moral character. To quote John Adams.
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.
There are realities that make our current Constitution obsolete, but I would wait for a less brigandish generation to arise to fix those problems...if one of those comes.
In the end though, I actually hope you are right. I sincerely hope that God himself takes away the need for men to go about the strenuous and nigh on impossible task of furnishing systems that respect the Rule of God's Law that will be less apt to follow the Rule of Men.
Until that time though, we cannot abandon that duty. The United States Constitution is an invaluable tool in that endeavor. Not perfect, but good enough.
