"Politicians aren’t just lawmakers anymore. They’re becoming a strange hybrid of pundit, podcast host, reality television star, Instagram influencer, and Fox News contributor. "

All of the Founders did other stuff besides writing laws to make a living. Out of power politicians have always agitated for their side in print or on other media. It's the very basis of C-Span programming. We are not supposed to have a class of professional political leaders, but of course we do because once these egoists get on the gravy train they can't get off. Do we just want lawyers, military leaders, and rich business people running our country? I should hope not. If Ms. Luna appeals to enough people in a given area, and I can see how she might, she can be in the US Congress. That's democracy.
