Instead of being elected into office, candidates for office should be given challenges which are ironic plays on their personality, life and ideology. Preferably deadly ones.
So, for example, an environmentalist politician would be sent into the wilderness and told to survive off the land for two weeks. A racist politician would be tasked with patrolling minority neighborhoods. A politician that advocates for cannabis legalization would be given the world's strongest edibles and told to hide the fact that they're high.
I'm for it so long as they only get deadly trials and the trials are impossible.

You had me until "cannabis legalization" and "strongest edibles".
There's a big fucking difference in someone who's never been high off of weed and the regular person who doesn't do it at all. Also the fucking government shouldn't dictate what can and can't go inside of someone's body. Instead just slap an extra charge/harsher punishment due to drug use, etc.
What's that form of government where you have to pay for each vote, but you get to vote as many times as you're willing to pay?

translating 'money' into Greek yields chrímata so I guess it could be called a chrímatacracy
They should let the audience shoot the politicians during the debates and whoever is left standing gets elected. It might not be the best method, but it'd be excellent TV.

It would truly be the people's choice and people's voice then.
democracy is old and inefficient...hamster wheels however........are something we can get behind

I agree with this method. A woke LGBT candidate should be sodomized and when it’s all over a CNN news crew will run up to his still red face, eyes wet with tears, and like Max Kellermen after a prizefight ask “how did it feel?”
As usual, Europe is superior
Pretty sure some Dem actually did this by releasing his sex tape.
The best way of choosing a politician is to eliminate elections altogether. Instead, militia leaders will compete for the top seat by literally fighting it out in the streets. Once a new president is established, he can be toppled any time if another militia succeeds in overthrowing him. This system has the added advantage of killing and maimimg a large number of innocent people, thus keeping the population down and controllable. It's better for the environment if less people breathe. The families of those innocent people will go on to form new armed militias, or the maimed survivors will become cruel revenge obsessed super villains. Instead of some pencil necks trading posts every few years, we will have a nice cycle where one group dominantes, declines and is overthrown by a new armed movement emerging from the fringes, this movement in due course will decline and be overthrown by yet another armed movement. This predictable cycle of violence will keep investment flowing.
idea: normal democracy, but every time you vote they cut off one of your fingers
We need a final solution to the politician question.
