    yeah, really the only arguable states for the US government is plutocracy depending on how you look at it, and gerontocracy based on the sheer age of the politicians in office right now.

    Nothing else is super applicable aside from the usual, democratic republic and various other shenanigans the US and state governments pull.

    campaign funding is a nightmare though. They have also been opened up significantly in recent decades, which a lot of people aren’t too happy about. Personally i just think we should ban campaigning entirely.

        idk, the obvious answer is a “policy resume” or something like that. Perhaps make a federal distribution system that is very structured and regular in order to provide something similar to this but for the admin instead.

        anything that makes this a more regular and structured system seems like it would probably be beneficial in terms of this problem to me.
