Totally agree. It's what I thought about Bernie Sanders as well listening to his podcast on YouTube. I fell for the anti Sanders rhetoric back then and deeply regret it. Great people we lost out on. #FightFascism #EpsteinFiles #impeachTrump #PedoProtector #RealDemocracy
Shouldn’t be necessary in a #RealDemocracy but do it brave #USAProtestors #ICEOUT
The Danish government is providing financial aid to seniors, students, families, and the unemployed to help cover rising food prices. This relief reaches 42% of all Danish adults.

We live in a hypercapitalist economy. Our electoral democracy will inevitably be corrupted by capital.
Nothing short of ridding ourselves of elections and Parties will stop that corruption.

Not really.

We need a different system.

...they could be from left, right, never voted, etc. The Party would promise just two things; the first would be to abolish elections and introduce #RealDemocracy in the form of government by #CitizensAssemblies selected by #Sortition and the second would be to introduce a UBI...
Yes!
Returning power to the people is what we need.
Getting rid of the Corruption Highway that is the Party/Electoral system.
Putting in its place

Cut out the political classes
Cut out the corruption
Confound the media
That will happen when we recognise that Parties and Elections have been co-opted to their own benefit by billionaires, corporates, other nations; and decide to have #RealDemocracy #ByThePeople with #CitizensAssemblies selected by #Sortition

We need to abolish elections and Parties; the corruptors' highway to power.

Like voting.
It doesn't work.
You may get a different government, but it's the same old billionaires funding it, dictating policy.

What would happen if there was a Party promising to abolish political Parties and Elections and introduce government by Citizens Assemblies selected by sortition?
Ie, #RealDemocracy

Phase 2 deals with how we give them, and all politicians everywhere, job security not subject to billionaire coercion.
This comes through a beefed up version of the #ForThePeopleAct which combines public not private financing for campaigns with severe restrictions on superPACs.

If we are to have a new politics, we must re-examine the meaning of the left/centre/right paradigm of the political classes. Imho it's part of what holds us back. We need #RealDemocracy #CitizensAssemblies #Sortition to escape the malign influence of Big Money and a captured media.
Democracy using Parties and elections is always under attack. Either corporates or other nations seek to undermine or purchase Parties. Psychopaths and narcissists see Parties as a ladder to power.
We need #RealDemocracy through #Sortition

Any party/electoral system is open to abuse. A Party can be bought/undermined by corporates or other nations; it can be a ladder to power for psychopaths and narcissists.
How to avoid this?

Zack's analysis is bang on.
But his proposed action - electing Greens - isn't going to fix it.
We need to cut the highway between business and government for good.

The Constitution is broken. It’s vague, exploited, and lets the Supreme Court rewrite rights at will. The Voting Rights Act is next. We need clear language, real protections, and people power—before it’s too late.

But you're not promising to dismantle the system.
It'll still be rigged.
However good your government may be, if you win (you won't), it'll be followed by a bad one, so back to square one.
#CitizensAssemblies not the political classes
