As someone from outside America, I find it’s wild that people are elected into what should be purely meritocrical positions such as coroner and judge and sherriff. Up here in Canada, you need to earn those positions through job performance; none of those are elected positions. I mean, why should they be? How could these jobs be possibly improved by utilizing a popularity contest for an evaluation that should be completely skills-based?
The Republican candidate didn’t have a medical degree? I’d have thought that was a requirement for coroner.
An unqualified Republican candidate? What are the odds!
You do t have to be “qualified”, not being qualified can be a good thing. For example a medical review board, it’s good to have normal people because they are a check and balance and don’t let bad doctors off easily where doctors are bias and will.
Yeah, let’s get more unqualified people in power over women’s medical decisions! Or unqualified raciats into cororner positions so they can blame minorities for being murdered by the police!
Checks and balances!
lol, what?
“Normal” person: I think vaccines are bad! We should punish medical professionals for making at-risk people have them!
“Normal” person: I think we should force this woman to give birth to a fetus with no heartbeat. Because abortions and abortifacients bad.
“Normal” person: Yes, dewormer is an effective treatment for covid. We should punish doctors for refusing to administer it.
Last damn thing we need is normal people telling experts the validity of their expertise.
