This makes me think of the fun people get with sports, tons of information over a long history with lots of stories. Imagine how many people we can get into politics with a fantasy congress! It would be like fantasy sports but you choose your representatives.



For a second I missed the irony here, genuinely thought to myself 'wow that would be awesome'. Just joined my first fantasy league so I am gung-ho on fantasy now, apologies.


I'm still missing the irony here.


You "supposedly" already choose your representatives.


I wonder how many layers of irony we can get here.


> It would be like fantasy sports but you choose your representatives.

Cheeky.

I think there's something here, though. High school civics classes have Model UN, why not gamify congressional proceedings in a similar way? You'd have to simplify the rules a bit, I guess.
