So tired of having to elect either business leaders or lawyers. Fuck, I wish we still had generals to elect. There is no one who gets into office from blue collar or education backgrounds.
Other countries elect scientists and economists sometimes.
Why?
Those people need to run for office in order to get in.
That's a lot of work when you're also trying to support your family. Rich people have a lot more leeway to be able to run.
We need to rewrite the entire foundation of this country to ensure that that sentiment is not just done away with, but obliterated in its entirety.
If someone is working hard for the country, why should that make it harder to be elected to help in a different way? Fuck I hate this place. If you made a nation where every moral and ideal were the exact opposite of what would benefit society, you get this shit.
Well (obviously) anyone can be elected regardless of expertise or competence or sanity.
