Also Americans need to nominate people for candidacy. What stood out the most to me in [Knock Down The House](https://youtu.be/YCSo2hZRcXk) was that it was AOC's brother in law that nominated her and the grass roots organization that vetted and asked her to run. I think *a lot* of competant leaders don't run for office because they don't believe they will even make it onto the ballot.
