Date: May 4th, 2026 6:54 PM Author: Sable mischievous market mad-dog skullcap We self-selected for that trait in one half of our legislature by making it elected and making the elections state-wide, and therefore very very expensive. Then we capped membership to two per state, ensuring the talent pool would remain forever thin. In the House there are probably a few dozen folks with PHDs, and many lawyers and doctors. Then the Senate gives you people like Markwayne Mullin. Think about it: who's the smartest US Senator right now? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863615&forum_id=2).#49865019) |

honestly though any system would work with that criteria |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 8:06 PM Author: Marvelous Godawful Indian Lodge I don't think a lottery is ideal, but I fully support it over our current system provided that the filibuster regains its prior glory and that the Senate returns to an appointment system rather than direct election
If you don't have at least some serious protections, you're just going to end up with majority rules by the proles, which is even worse than what we have now |

i want majority proles |

Date: May 4th, 2026 8:13 PM Author: Marvelous Godawful Indian Lodge I'll check it out. My rationale is that our current prole crop is leaps and bounds away from the proud proles of the past who aren't looking for handouts at anyone else's expense
At this point, we've had multiple generations brought up to believe that everyone owes them everything they want and that they're entitled to live the lavish life of the fabulously wealthy
It's terrible to have 535 people looting the country for themselves and their families and friends, but it would all unravel instantly if you had dumb people looting for literally 30% - 70% of the country all at once. Don't get me wrong, it's going to unravel, and violently at that, but I hope I can at least retire abroad before that happens |

Date: May 4th, 2026 9:56 PM Author: Sable mischievous market mad-dog skullcap It doesn't matter as long as you have enough smart people to sit on the important committees. If you want a bill to fund some NASA shit don't you want it to be written by some doods who know basic physics? The House has over 500 members, so you can probably find a few doods with physics degrees to draft a bill that funds NASA.
In the Senate you have none of that. Even if Ted Cruz is a good lawyer he wouldn't have funded the JWST. |
