    Angus King III? Oh, the person whose father voted to kill tens of millions of people by voting to take away their healthcare? Automatic NOPE!

    Politics and Hollywood. The nepo tradition being kept alive. We need change, not the entrenched establishment of old people telling their young people how to game the system.

      I like the idea of someone getting a card in the mail saying “youve been selected for senate duty” and them groaning and having to call their boss to tell them they cant come in on time next Wednesday because they have to vote on whether or not KOSA should pass

    We need a constitutional amendment forbidding members of one’s immediate family from running for office above a certain level. Spouses, children, and siblings are all right out. Exactly where the cutoff is is open to discussion, but presidents and members of congress should be forbidden from trading on their family name for elected office.
