None taken. I mean the idea of a representational democracy. People were there, and there’s still more than enough land to go around.
In an alternate timeline, we could have negotiated for the land with the native Americans, invited then to join the US, or let them keep their sovereignty but within bounds of their choosing, while always allowing them to become citizens if they or their descendents desired. We all could have won.
Slavery? We didn’t need it, if growth at all costs wasn’t our insignia. The land provided/provides more than enough, if we take care of it.
But this is all fantasy, destroyed by greed, and laziness. Doing it the right way would have been hard work. And we know how fucking lazy pieces of shit like musk, trump, Epstein, et al actually are.
