I’m so tired of “elites” ruling society. Neolibs in particular have a horrible habit of preserving corrupt power systems and undermining people rights. For example, the democratic establishment is actively trying to expand the surveillance state, while we’re at risk of a permanent authoritarian take over. Like, Wtf?
Honestly, I’m hoping some state creates a random-citizen option ballot. It’d be hilarious to get some random guy in congress who just rants about the rampant corruption. Plus, that type of systemic reform merges congress with a “people’s assembly” which are supposedly super resistant to corruption.
An electoral system always creates a ruling class. If you want to remove it, you need to randomly pick citizens and rotate them every x years. It’s the only option to have a legislative body that is actually representative of the people, be it for the better or the worst.
