The US Govt is so corrupt and incompetent that if we did away with all elections and chose our leaders, at all levels of govt by random drawing like in being chosen for jury duty, we would get an instant 100 pct improvement in government.

We would thus go from a corrupt and incompetent govt, to one merely incompetent. Save save bill...trillions on election costs.

Of course if the process was conducted the way Democrats run the voting process, we could get pets, dead people, illegals and felons selected for the Presidency, etc.

I’ve actually discussed the “randomly selected govt” with some pretty smart people as a superior system. Would we get some losers/libs? Yup, but much less corruption, too. Also, the leeches of society would not be able to vote themselves pols who give them handouts. On top of that, a random collection of Americans would probably be a lot more competent than most people think. After all, for all their flaws, juries really do usually call things right, at least more often than Congress does, and they are composed of randomly selected groups.
