One person’s zealot or ideologue is another’s heroic activist. Rather than making politics a career what if people were only involved long enough to make the specific change they wanted to see?
- krapp 3y agoHaving every politician only able to execute specific short term goals would make long-term planning and complex policy goals impossible to achieve. Most politicians would simply undo their predecessor's policies in favor of their own, or else accomplish nothing due to gridlock. It would wind up being the political version of Twitch Plays Pokemon.
- mulmen 3y agoThat sounds reasonable and you might even be right. But I’m not certain. The tech sector is famously productive, arguably even too productive. But average time in a specific job is similar to congressional terms. If people with specific expertise and goals in mind are in congress they could compromise to achieve those goals just like we do in the private sector.
