How can we fix our political system so it no longer attracts the worst among us?

Make the job a chore. Treat it like jury duty. That way it's not a career choice, it's a genuine civic contribution.

Fuck yeah! Make them all live in the Big Brother house. Get it all on tape and then hire a couple reality TV directors to CSPAN.

But they all should wear nascar or ski racing style jackets where all the sponsors logos are listed from big to small based on how much money they’re being paid to shill for.

This feels one step closer to idiocracy…
