minus-squareComradeSalad@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-21 year agoThat’s not what he meant. You don’t need to be a tenured politician, but you need some, at least ANY civil service expertise and experience. Imagine if you “elected” a doctor who never went to medical school, or a solider who never went to training, or a lawyer who never went to college. They would all be fired on their first day, if they didn’t kill someone first. Also a general election will not weed out woeful applicants. Charisma, and an experienced team will get you very far. Potential choices should be heavily vetted and thoroughly trained.
