Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

There's not necessarily anything wrong with electing people without political experience. If everyone didn't have an equal shit we might as well be a monarchy. The problem is we never elect anyone good.

I'm sorry - what? Of course there is. It's a job that affects the lives of thousands to millions. Having experience with the systems, the laws, and seeing the results of legislation and the like is critical to being able to govern and legislate effectively.
