If my medic was getting paid to take pieces of my organs, I'd take my chances with an amateur too. The prejudice against career politicians might unfairly hit some honest ones, but it's hardly baseless.
In any case, as was pointed out, the proposal wasn't to have a shared Google Doc that anyone could write, it was just a process with more democratic input.
Which sounds super crazy but only because there is a perception that good medical treatment is difficult and not something you can do with out a lot of training. Government on the other hand is often perceived as "easy" because, hey anyone can throw their hat in the ring and be elected to President right? No previous training or education required.
You spend your life studying the heart muscle, its ailments, and ways that it can be treated when it is old or damaged. And your a revered, board certified cardiologist.
You spend your life studying people, their governance, and ways to manage conflict and justice through the law. And your a despised lifelong politician.
