Do we want people with predisposed solutions running for office? What happens when they are elected and the other public servants disagree with them? There are certainly some levers of incentivization that need to be pulled within our political system. But we also need open individuals who are capable of communication, compromise, and diligence. Remember, voting is only the first step of citizenship and improving our country. The real work begins upon Inauguration Day, whether that’s for president or your local congressional representative. It is our responsibility as constituents to hold our representatives accountable, to ensure they understand what we want. Thus we need folks of reason in office. The burden, and the choice, is ours.
