Serial Killers & Murderous Minds · Introducing: Government That Doesn’t Suck · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

And part of that is knowing, you know, like, who am I electing?

What are these positions?

When does it have to happen?

Like you could not convince a business to listen to you if you didn't show up to the annual meeting.

Same is true for government.

If you don't agree to show up, if you don't agree to understand the rules, probably not going to listen to you.

Yeah, each successive generation, we do sort of expand the franchise a little bit further to a few more people so that we can have a more representative, more perfect union.

Something else that I think about is if America is this startup, we probably sort of failed the first time we did it.

And that's OK in the sense that we had 12 or 13 years were sort of like under the Articles of Confederation.

And then we learned that.

and said, you know what, I think we can do better.

And that's kind of how I think about government is, yes, there's things that I like to complain about, but inheriting a government is not like inheriting something that you can just point out the flaws.

It's something where like you have to see yourself as a part of it to be able to change it.

And one of the reasons I think it's important to talk about the upsides or the positives is if I was on a team that was losing or if I was in a company that wasn't doing well,

I don't think I would motivate everyone else by being like, sorry, you guys are losers and this system is rigged and it's always just going to suck.

Instead, I'd say like, what can we do to make this better?

And that's where I think as U.S.

citizens, we have an ability to change our destiny.

It's one of the most beautiful parts of being in a representative democracy in that each of us gets to have a say on how we go.

Absolutely.
