A neutral third party (kind of like the federal reserve isn't supposed to be affiliated with any political party... or is this wildly inaccurate)
I'm pretty sure modern day politics are composed of 10-20 hard problems.
1. Providing quality of life for the poor/sick/elderly
1. Protecting citizens via military/war
1. Stances on drugs/drug related crimes
1. Economy wellness (stimulation/QE)
1. Education
1. Transportation
1. Energy/environment/climate change
1. Rights (gender, sexual preference, etc.)
> Well, for one thing, that's not what a lot of people (including the founders) think/thought voters are supposed to be voting on
Is that what you vote for? A politician is a figurehead in my eyes, and it is their job to carry out what they said they were going to (aka not change their policy after winning votes).
