Maybe we should have talent agents that campaign for candidates. Winning a campaign is a whole skillset that tells us very little how well a person can actually govern.
I think a more interesting political system would be a random lottery. Make it a burden. Take a vote at the end of a term to decide if the office holder should be executed.
I think that might work well at a local or state level, and have the population vote them to national office if they represent them well and are willing. I don’t think we want some of my neighbors legislating. At least not the guy I saw ripping off a can of galaxy gas on his front porch.

No need for punishment, but I like this system a lot. Terms would have to be longer though.
Like sortition? Not the worst system.
