So that's one example of a good career politician.

Do you think the good:bad ratio for career politicians is 50:50?

If we eradicated all the career politicians, we would be removing a LOT of bad faith shitheads and yes, a few good ones too.

But we would have the chance to reshape our system to be FUNCTIONAL without nepotism and greed blocking it for a change.

So if I find myself voting for either Bernie or some clueless rookie, which should it be?

Run yourself, you're a political genius, after all

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

So then a clueless rookie over Bernie. Your suggestion is that the left unilaterally handicaps itself.
