I think if elected positions were replaced with a secure lottery of U.S. citizens, it would eleviate the burdens of the electoral process. Campaign finance issues, gone. Ballot cheating, gone. Lobbyists, gone. The entire monetary influence in politics disappears. Lottery winners have the option to serve, or decline. Each chosen official serves one term, the length of which would TBD by others smarter than me, and there’s plenty of those. Chosen official has a guarantee of returning to their previous employment, should they choose to. Granted, there’s bound to be some drawbacks, but this actually puts the power in the hands of the people. Everyday working Americans deciding what’s best for our country is what I’d like to see. Career politicians only line their own pockets, along with the pockets of their donors and friends. Let’s make it better. I know we can.
