I'd vote for a candidate who campaigned to repeal the Second Amendment.

Yeah, but that's a structural flaw inherit in the initial design. We were doomed to quickly end up in a two party system, despite the fact that they all thought they were better than parties. The federal government pretty much immediately became a two party affair, that that inherently stagnates change and limits the actual will of the people from being enacted in government.

We need to switch to Approval Voting and proportional representation if we want the government to actually represent the people.
