Instead of the current "I volunteer as tribute method, what if our elected officials were drawn from completely random lottery..." --
The approval rating of congress is abysmal, and idiot-rating through the roof, sure average americans may not know everything about running a country, neither did the author's of the constitution, they just knew they wanted something better.
I submit that if we picked all senators and congressmen via random lottery, w/ 1 term only. We would have a MUCH healthier political system than we have now.
Just as people say Guaranteed Basic Income will fail-- Let me ask 2 questions: 1: Is what we have now working, e.g. is there still homelessness, and poverty in America? 2: If our system is already failed, how does trying something new that may fail, hurt anything?
Same goes for anything. Why can't we change things, shake things up a bit, push the envelope? Wasn't America's founding principles on shaking things up?
