Due to the recent events, and I'm including up to the last 8 years of recent events with the escalation in the past year, I have begun to wonder why haven't anyone yet try to implement a new form of Government. With all the masses crying for a reform on many fronts, this could be just the solution that works for both the conservatives and liberals. This type of government might sound a bit socialistic but hear me out.
What if the Government of the United States of America was ran by the people for the people? (I can hear your smirks, grumbling and see your eyes rolling. Please contain yourself until the end of the ride. Thank you) I am quite serious about this. In every position from the city council, mayors, commissioners, governors to senators and house of representatives have everyday people appointed for 1 or 2 year terms. Here is the kicker: they would not be voted in, have elections, or buy their way into a position but randomly selected just like citizens get randomly selected for jury duty. Oh and of course, pay will be minimum wage.
Certain rules will apply, such as no criminal record, must pass a background, be of minimum 25 years of age, and a citizen of the United States. No discrimination based on credit score, occupation, nationality, race, or Myers -Briggs test scores. Everyone will have an equal chance to serve in an official capacity and do their duty to our country. There will be no more career politicians, corruption, buying of votes, voter fraud, empty promises to the public and upholding only the promises made to the money bags that made huge donations to a political campaign.
This government would be exclusively made up of a working force (oh my... Lenin and Marx would be so proud of me right now for using the "working force" term) and serving in a whatever position this government-duty-lottery would place you in would be mandatory.
Of course, I don't have everything worked out for this Utopia yet, but that's what "we the people" would decide on and figure out as it develops.
Ok, ok yes I do know it's all about money and why would the career politicians and all these elite families that have been breeding, I mean having children, with a precise and only goal in mind of continuing their legacy in politics for generation after generation after generation give up their sphere of influence on Capitol Hill? And why would anyone ever want to have an average Joe sitting in Senate and proposing covid vaccine being distributed to the elderly instead of discussing how not to offend the easily offended with such language in legislation as "mother, father, sister, brother"?
But if I was a dreamer... and if I was tired of just hearing constant complaints from both sides with no real solutions offered by either... I would probably look for Utopia in light of recent events.
P.S. I probably should make a disclaimer to the general public and anyone checking the internet for record keeping (please don't pay my paranoia or feelings of grandeur any attention here) and state that the post above was done with tongue-in-cheek, parody, sarcasm, or whatever else you'd like to call it and not to be taken personally if it should suddenly resonate with you on any level. No harm to liberals, conservatives or elite families on the Capital Hill was ever intended or planned by suggesting removing them all from the Government and be replaced by a Utopia of my imagination. I personally find theories of Durkheim a bit more intelligent, so Lenin and Marx would still think me a traitor, even if I didn't flee to the capitalistic country I was taught to secretly love.
