Electing positions that require specialized skills or have judiciary authority. You elect your law enforcement, your judges, your fucking dog catchers. What the fuck?? Is it so hard to come up with a meritocratic method of selecting a fucking dog catcher that you must just throw your hands up and just ask random people what to do?!
Nobody in America cares about who will get the job done right. America only cares about bribery and power.
Normal people are uneducated and vote for people like it's a popularity contest or to be "anti-the-other-side"; while important things like judges aren't voted in by the people, but stacked towards the agenda of whichever (corrupt) party is already in office.
I would kill for an actual meritocracy, where the law said only accomplished people in specific areas could apply for specific kinds of jobs— especially political ones.
