There's not necessarily anything wrong with electing people without political experience. If everyone didn't have an equal shot we might as well be a monarchy. The problem is we never elect anyone good.

I'm sorry - what? Of course there is. It's a job that affects the lives of thousands to millions. Having experience with the systems, the laws, and seeing the results of legislation and the like is critical to being able to govern and legislate effectively.

Electing a legislator is not electing a dictator. The system was designed to give people with good ideas a chance to lead, not just professional politicians. Your attitude is borderline elitist and leads to the "ok it's my turn now" phenominon that's made the Democrats so ineffective in the last couple of decades. The only time anyone's gotten excited for them in recent memory was Obama, who had been a politician for a whole 4 years before becoming president.
