If you were selected (Democratic style, without campaigning) by the people in your community to the House of Representatives, would you accept?

[VIVANT]

For those of you who would accept what are five main issues that you’d want to get to work on immediately and how would you go about it?

Are there any public servants currently in office in your Congress (or Equivalent of Congress) that you would look forward to working with? Are there any public servants you would dread working with?

ABSOLUTE YES 🙌🏽🙌🏽

ABSOLUTELY NOT 👎🏽👎🏽

IM NOT SURE. 🤔 🤔

I just wanna see the results 👣👣

[OlderAndWiser]

I will be 70 years old in January and I am not sure that I would have the energy and stamina to do the job properly. I worked in the political arena when I was in law school, and I have served in leadership positions in community organizations, so I would like to accept the challenge, but would probably decline due to my concerns about being able to perform the job properly.

[VIVANT]

That’s probably wise for your own well being although I think you’d be a fine addition. 😌

[OlderAndWiser]

I appreciate your kind words.

[VIVANT]

I appreciate your wisdom ☺️

[WindAtMyBack]

It would be tempting, but I'm pretty sure I'd turn it down.

1) I'm retired. If I started working again I'd do something I like.
2) I'd have to live in DC. It has some nice museums and tourist type place, but otherwise it's a shit hole.
3) I'm too much of an idealist and a radical. I'd never get along with those people. I'd never be able to play their game.
4) I've had co-workers I didn't like before, but I never wanted to kill them. That would change very quickly.

Having said all that, 30-40 years ago I might have done it. But I was young and naive then. I probably would have thought I could actually do something worthwhile.

[katiesmuff]

No I would not as that shit show is the last place I would want to land.

[VIVANT]

lol I understand tho I think the people who are repulsed by the ongoing bs are the kind would people that we’d be better off with filling those positions. Still it’s soul crushing. I imagine.

[lightbulb27]

I don't have it to do that job, it would tear me to shreds. I respect those that do... even AOC in her role. I dont' agree with a lot of what she says, but I respect her drive and energy.

There's a lot of holes in government now to be filled.

[VIVANT]

I understand 😌

[VIVANT]

I suppose it’s not for you but I think you’d be an improvement as it seems very important to you to be age reasonably act with purpose and you didn’t seem to seek like light. people who seek positions of power are rarely fit to fulfill them.

[lightbulb27]

there's a reason those jobs draw certain personalities. People would not want to hear what I have to say. I'm way too considerate. Id be better as Director of Dislocated Persons Recovery.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes; absolutely!

The first thing I would do is close the border.

The second thing I would do is get justice for all of the people that have been harmed by their government.

The third thing I would do is get justice for all of the people harmed by corporate "healthcare."

The fourth thing I would do is eliminate income taxes and institute a national sales tax instead.

The fifth thing would do would be to cut all wasteful spending and direct that money towards providing free college for all. re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

3 issues with my beliefs:

• I believe in an inapplicable system that is not democracy
• I believe democracy is powerless about the greater concerns
• I'm sure I would have to compromise with the sharks, not sure I want that

[BoobMan]

Sure I'd do it. I don't think first term congressmen get to choose much in terms of what to work on though.

[VIVANT]

Surely not not are cascades selected fairly but this is hypothetical so go crazy 😅

[AviatorTom]

I would accept and commit to just one term. Career politicians lose touch.

I would not have a list of issues. Instead, I would have a series of town meetings, open to everyone in the community, and develop a list of what they think is important. I would then go to Congress and fight for what the people want.

[phraseology]

Since when do Democrats care what a community thinks. The elitist turds just appoint dictators.

[Sevenpointfive]

congress is an outdated fixture. we need to get rid of it or downsize it. they would never elect me. not yet anyways.

[Zack-Bann]

I would welcome a challenge even a political one

[VIVANT]

I think you’d be great, really. 👍🏽

[DrPepper12]

1) Wholesale constitutional reform
2) Health, education & welfare
3) Foreign Policy & Military Budget
4) Infrastructure & Subsidies
5) Capitalism mitigation reforms

[abc3643]

What does this mean "(Democratic style, without campaigning)"?

[Lliam]

Nah. I wouldn't want to be immersed in that culture.

[Avicenna]

Yes, I would do it. My main focus would be on economic development in my district.

[exitseven]

Yes, I would try to help President Trump as much as i could.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Only if I could immediately pass that responsibility to a person of my choosing.

[BurbankRob]

Probably not. I wouldn't say "absolutely not" until I heard the reasons my community had for selecting me.

[NathanDavis]

no, I do have a soul

[RageBabe]

No, absolutely not.

[Dargil]

Nope couldn't stand the pay cut.

[Adel50]

Nope. I'm not interested in politics.

[Agape93]

Fuck it, why not?

[jahaims]

Nope
