If the USA had to change from federal to Unitary or Confederate, which one?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

     I am of the opinion that the distribution of power in government should be localized, so that it can be more responsive to the interests and needs of the people who live under that government. As such, I choose Confederate (R).

I have this logic, but conclude unitary.

A lot of people in this thread seem to be under the impression that unitary states are always ultra-centralised affairs. If anything, a hypothetical unitary government would probably be less centralised, because there would be more focus on local government (the most important layer), which are often neglected by the current federal set-up. (I support federalism though, but if the other option is confederalism ...)

I love how people are ignoring reality in this thread by pretending that a "confederacy" would be interested in localism (as  opposed to a Unitary system, which would presumably be far more localist)
