Building relationships and making deals is part of the problem funnily enough. Career politicians are more susceptible to ~~corruption~~ lobbying. IMO representatives should be every day Americans not the successor to a political dynasty or someone who spends most of their life in DC under the impression that they are representing the beliefs of people on the other side of the country.

No one man should have the power of someone with 50 years in office.

This is why I mentioned getting the money out of politics. That's the crux of the problem, not having people serve for their lives in government.
