Idiots for Justice and the New Centrist Meritocracy.
Post Body

I would like to help form ‘The Idiots for Justice’ Party and reform American politics as we know it. I would like to help bring in a total Meritocracy to replace our failing Democracy in the United States. I don’t believe that it is a safe assumption that most citizens want what is right and just for their country and their community. It doesn’t seem that citizens are choosing the correct political leaders to represent their best interests on a local, state or federal level. This is all evidenced by the fact that Donald Trump was elected as President. And almost re-elected as President after doing such a terrible job the first time. I need to impress on people that my aim here is that I have designs on creating a political party that almost nobody is completely satisfied with. Its most zealot extremists would simply be from Center Left to Center Right on the political spectrum. It would also be nice if it's members did not have to choose absolute viewpoints on social issues as well. The B'hai, or more descriptively, the Unitarians of United States political parties. Taking in all comers. This party would make it a mandate to negotiate always. To find a sustainable method always. Also, to reign in internal zealotry and extremist views always. Any time one faction in winner-take-all fashion has a complete and total victory, their diametrically opposed antithetical adversaries merely bide their time and wait in the wings for their chance to strike back. In cyclical fashion they merely copy and repeat the process until the sinusoid begins again in the next natural period. A main tenet of this political party will be it's adherence to some fundamental goals of the meritocracy:

  1. Take money completely out of political campaigns by forming a lottery of 'Citizens in Good Standing' for political office. Campaigns are all taxpayer funded and minimalistic AF. Mostly just consisting of a mailer and website introducing the winning ‘CIGS’ for political office.
  2. Abolish Elections, instead 'CIGS' will be assigned a certain number of tickets in the political lottery, commensurate with their good deeds in life (TBD) and past performance while in a greater office (if applicable) This, in an effort to prevent CIGS from ‘failing upwards’
  3. Abolish Lobbyists
  4. Agree what 'Citizens in Good Standing' even means
  5. Impose a point system on these candidates for representatives and senators, council people and ward leaders, ordinates that are commensurate to the value of experience to their constituents, while in office. This, to be used as gauge, for greater political office.
  6. The lottery system would give a certain amount of points to people who have achieved goals for the good of mankind, themselves and their community. Although they may be humble or grandiose
  7. If a candidate is chosen by the lottery, they will fulfill their selected office for a term of 2 and no more than 4 years. Their taxpayer funded salary will be three times what they were making the year prior in their professional career. If the winning ‘CIGS’ decide not to, or are unable to take political office. There office will go to the second, and then to the third place winner of the lottery draw.
