Sure, but rationalists make shitty politicians. Its a bicycle built for two, not for you. Nerds should aim to be the politician's consultants and advisers, not the politician themselves.
90% of the people on LW likely are not fit for a political career but that doesn't mean that we don't have people with good social skills who might make good politicians.
Moreover, we are a young crowd. It would be nice to see more young people in politics like Wyatt Roy, the youngest Australian MP who entered parliament as a teenager! He seems promising.
