My understanding was that being a member of Congress is extremely lucrative. I’m saying I would serve if it weren’t. I find its current state repugnant and overrun with parasites.
My proposal is pragmatic. If we offer a living wage (but nothing more) to serve in Congress, all the money-grubbers will fuck off back to the private sector, where these venal parasites belong.
Nothing of value will be lost, since the failure of our Congress is not for lack of esoteric expertise but an excess of depravity.
“Don’t waste your time electioneering. It doesn’t work. Provenly. Put your effort in literally anything else that would improve your life except this shite. Take direct action. Organize your workplace. Feed the homeless. Whatever.”
“Again, the point is that the vote legitimizes the voting system itself and all the effort expended in electioneering. You very assuredly cannot be doing both direct action and electioneering.”
I still have to give credits to @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for hosting the piracy community, kudos for that; but I just have to disagree with their political views regarding voting.

Lol okay, so you expect others to do work for minimum wage which you would totally in theory do as well just not in reality. Gotcha.
No. I expect people who want to get rich to get the fuck out of Congress.
That’s a great expectation, and simultaneously provides no backing whatsoever to the poor logical reasoning that you.applked earlier.
