I feel as though many policies would benefit lower income people.

With a sense of genuine empathy, we wouldn't have people up on thrones throwing pity at the poor, we'd have understanding and better-suited solutions and that's essential at this point.
@9JPB9FM4mos4MO
A politician without empathy or active listening skills would not listen to any other politicians, meaning they are not open-minded, why wouldn't I want someone open-minded running my country?
@9JP9LWY4mos4MO
Empathetic people are generally more open-minded and can connect with people who live different lives from them.
@9JP437W4mos4MO
I would just think it would be more complicated for politicians to run for bigger roles like president since there would be more required skills and knowledge.

It'd be harder for candidates to even try and be able to have the position they wish to have if there were standards that were set a little too high.
@9JP3PC3Independent4mos4MO
Well we could potentially see much more positive changes for you average American and maybe even other country citizens.
@9JP7NRP4mos4MO
Politicians would be able to relate to the people and think about the good of the country, not just power.
@hansen467 4mos4MO
It would be a great help, but seems difficult to test or verify those skills are being used in decision-making. Instead, #1. provide a mandated, standardized isidewith.com quiz to all candidates and office-holders to add voting clarity on the ideology and character of politicians. #2 set term-limits to 3-terms for all national non-president candidates to limit individual power/influence of one-mindset.
