We should have juries for lawmaking. Professional politicians are directly against everything democracy stands for. Imagine, people are randomly selected, given some information to read about a law, they come in for a week while someone argues for and someone else argues against, they pick it as a real sample of Americans, but informed Americans, instead of a cluster of the richest, most manipulative/charming americans. We could still vote on these federal defenders and detractors like we do now, but we'd have something resembling a democracy.
