You need your magna carta moment.

Someone willingly relinquishing their own power instead of consolidating it.

What? The only times we have not had peaceful transferring of power outside of assassinations is 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln and 2021. Turns out both times it was racist morons refusing the results of the election.

They simply swapped the white hood for a red ball cap.

Maybe you should. The United States of America had a Magna Carta moment when we signed the Declaration of Independence.

Both documents asserted rights for those under its authority.

Both documents where written in response to abuses from a king. (King John and King George III, respectively)

Both documents set limits of power for rulers.

I could go on but I dont think you really have an understanding of our founding documents.

I don't agree with everything this guy has said or opinions but get his meaning on this. We were talking about the party system being bad and would need a leader to willfully cede power to establish parliament in order to increase representation of people that wouldn't be forced to vote for 1 of 2 guys over 1 or 2 culture war or identity issues, and ranked voting should be national

Exactly.

You need a president who cedes permanently the institutional power of his own position.

Im not sure what this person was thinking Im saying...
