>>16468296>politicians depend on the stupid and gulliblewell that's just how it works right now, in representative democracies politicians depend on the votes of their constituency, and if the constituency were more intelligent then the politicians wouldnt be dependent on gullible retards anymore, and yea thered probably be a lot of politicians that would lose to "better" candidates in that sort of system so the old guard wouldn't be as keen to sign on to the new system but idk, i guess it'd have to happen over time anyway, maybe people open up to the idea in one are and voting gets restricted in one state or county first, then it seems to work well and it starts spreading
>wanting to stay in place or to get somebody who they want into a positionas for the first one, it already happens anyway, politicians want to have as much power for as long as they can but despite all the blackmail and bribery they still lose elections all the time, and like i said it'd probably be a slow process to get the population to want the new system, and if everyone really wanted the new system and it was already implemented and well-received at local levels, then eventually it'd probably be implemented at the federal level as well if there's enough outcry for it
as for getting someone in a position, i kinda already touched on that but it could still happen in the new system, just because voting is more tightly restricted doesn't mean you can't bruteforce people into positions like you could in the old system, this change wouldn't reduce corruption or fraud
>if something like "only the qualified get to vote" is forced into placemaybe, but i think the most likely way of it happening is what i said earlier about the gradual change, don't think theres more i can add to that right now
