Yes, nothing meaningful has changed in the US in 100 years.

The things that did change did not start with voting. Especially because women couldn't vote to get the right to vote.

TIL that amending the US constitution doesn't require voting.

So they started with the liberal framework of free expression and ended with voting? Good point I guess.

That’s how democracy works… ? Where do you think the issues come from that wind up on the ballot?

I suppose it might look that way if you aren't a minority or a woman or gay. If nothing meaningful has changed in the last 100 years, then we could go back to the policies of the 1900s-1920s without any difference. And I very much doubt anyone wants to do that, because there are very big differences.
