There's an argument gaining currency that American federalism has proven its worth in the pandemic but I find it hard to believe when the president is comparing himself to Captain Bligh and governors to mutineers. Also threatening to withhold medical supplies. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1250075668282576898 …

JURY-rigged: ingeniously improv. JERRY-built; poorly constructed

Yeah, obviously those would be better, but unless you think the failure to impeach or 25 him is a result of federalism this seem like quite the non sequitor.

But given that our system has an independent executive who is very hard to impeach or remove via the 25th Amerndment, some measure of federalism is beneficial.

These are entirely separate questions. You are comparing what happens when you have competent sane leadership to when you don't. Unsurprisingly, competent works better. Since you can't guarantee we won't have Trump, de Blasio or Sanders, a federal system is a really good idea.

That's not an argument against federalism, that's just an argument that it should be easier to remove bad heads of state (which I agree with, btw).

Which have zero chance of happening. Your point is moot
