This is not possible without first doing the things that I describe. (Or something similar.) Too many states are too heavily gerrymandered to disenfranchise minorities and other likely-Democratic voters for a Constitutional amendment that favors (small-d) democratic rule to pass. Same problem with a new Constitution. To the sentiment more broadly, I tend to agree: we have given our original Constitution too much deference. It is flexible, yes, but not flexible enough to deal with all the changes that have arisen since, with one of the biggest problems being the much more rapid pace of life today. As for what specific measures are needed to fix it.....god, I don't know. I can come up with a few, but I don't for a second think they'd be comprehensive enough to prevent what happened over the past 40ish years to lead to this.
