Serving as a Supreme Court justice should be like jury duty but for judges. None of this lifetime appointment business; trying to make a branch of government free of political influence is impossible. The best you can do is select candidates across as broad a population as possible with a selection standard that changes less often than the lifetimes of candidates. #sortition #lottocracy #demarchy

CW: fringe political opinion
I think most politicians should chosen by random selection rather than by elections. E.G. - your name gets drawn out of a hat and you get to be a congresscritter for the next two years, then you go home.
I think this would avoid self-selecting power-hungry people for office, make politicians harder to bribe (they wouldn't need expensive election adverts) and provide a better representative sample of the citizenry.
I think this system is called #demarchy, or #sortition

@JoBlakely I agree that elections result in an abomination of a democracy, but sortition goes counter to too many myths current society seems to hold dear (or, more likely, have been conditioned to hold dear), so it probably won't get traction without a big upheaval. Examples being, professionalisation, meritocracy, and dumping all responsibility on individual choices by individual consumers, sorry, voters. Trusting random choice over individual "informed" one would also require a degree of humility that I'm not seeing.
But in my opinion, #sortition (or #demarchy - it's got a better ring to it, IMO 🙂 ), is a great idea. And we'll either experiment with new ways to structure society, or soon there will be no society to speak of.
