I really hate the State of the Union address. It really reinforces how clearly there is a political class in this country, and how far removed from the experience of everyday Americans our political "representatives" are.
I'd like to see a new form of national service, where everyday American voters get eventually elected to Congress, instead of it being the province of well-heeled political entrepreneurs and opportunists. Something to stir the pot, make our democracy (or republic) actually democratic and/or republican, instead of only embracing it in formal ways.
