Everyone is seeing for their own interests. We really need people in power that HATE being in a power.

I mean, politicians get paid pennies compared to CEO-s with massive risks, why would any intelligent & honest person consider being a politician. Cold fact is, being an honest politician is the worst employment opportunity ever.
I hold true to the notion that a representative government with representatives selected at random would be much better then what we have.
There would still be appointed positions but replace most elected posistions with a lottery and go from there.
The tyranny of small donors has left me scarred and deformed.
Can you please explain?
When republicans are in power democrats are powerless because they are in the minority When democrats are in power they somehow are still powerless to do anything meaning full because "republican are preventing " them from doing anything The only time they seem to be able to do something is to crush any attempt to change the status quo in favor of the working class.
