What if we replaced elected politicians with randomly selected citizens?

Were I to ever assume the responsibilities attached I would do my level best... I would do some things right for my district, such as to seek a posting on the agriculture committee because my district is extremely rural. I would also be a poor ideological match even for that. I am a liberal in an R+20 district.

Lol, plenty of politicians are functionally illiterate about anything outside of politics.
