This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Maybe we should have talent agents that campaign for candidates. Winning a campaign is a whole skillset that tells us very little how well a person can actually govern.

I think a more interesting political system would be a random lottery. Make it a burden. Take a vote at the end of a term to decide if the office holder should be executed.
