You can’t vote out the corruption, because much of it is enmeshed in bureaucratic appointments and institutions. The government as a whole needs to be flushed out, from top to bottom, but these parasites are dug in too good to remove without killing parts of the host. Personally, I am completely okay with that scenario: defund the government.
- Clubber 5y agoThe people currently in office certainly won't defund themselves. We'd still have to replace them by voting out the incumbents for there ever to be a chance of shrinking these massive bureaucracies (think TSA, DHS, FBI, etc). Also there is an institutional culture of corruption in congress that can only be removed by clearing house. Think of it as citizen imposed congressional term limits. That should be the default as opposed to incumbent winning 90+% of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_stagnation_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_stagnation_in_th...
