Agree. I’m afraid it will not change until competence and results are things voters get more serious about.
In the meantime, we get more angertainment.
I’m seriously just planning to vote against virtually all incumbents next cycle. Previous government service in a legislature is likely a disqualifying factor. If we can get just 5% of voters to hold politicians accountable for the results, it will seriously bend the curve by providing proper incentives to do better.
