Hard to get somebody worse than Karen "Castrojugend" Bass, but Angelitos just had to go "hold my beer" and prove us wrong.
How is wanting more educational and professional diversity in government the same as wanting laws to be "penned by the unlettered"?
I do not think bilby is saying that we should not have any lawyers in government, just that there should be more people who have studied other things and worked in other professions.
Good. It’s probably the $10 I donated to Eileen that put her over the top.
Not by enough at this point. My math indicates she needs about 52% of the remaining vote to get to the 50% +1 margin for the outright win, or close to that in order to win the instant runoff. This certainly isn't impossible to achieve, but while she was forecasted to win, the Dan Sullivan stuff might have cost her election day votes.Peltola is pulling ahead in Alaska!!

Some people: We want more every day citizens to be in Government.
That's great and all, but I still am wary of a politician without any relevant specialized knowledge making key decisions about the law, economic policy, foreign policy, and the censorship of knowledge itself. Neither am I saying that all politicians should study law per se. But they should study something, or work a vocation that is somehow proximate to the work of the politician. I realize Bilby lives in a country where "politics" is a much more diaphonous and usually less consequential profession, but much of my nation's current struggles arise from functionally illiterate firebrands letting their morning radio show tell them how they ought to vote on the floor of the House of Representatives. There needs to be a middle ground here, is what I'm saying. I don't mind if someone has worked in another profession, but this outright antipathy toward people who study law as preparation for creating laws is in my view short-sighted and disrespectful of the important work they do both in and out of the governmental system, and it feeds government dysfunction when legislators are unable to communicate or collaborate with one another due to a lack of shared background knowledge. Many have suggested that understanding information is the job of "their staff", but if that's the case, personally I'd rather elect one of them directly, than have their advice filtered through someone who only half understood what their underpaid gay minions were trying to tell them.
