@sortitionusa.bsky.socialThis is how elected oligarchs, even at the local level, often treat the people they allegedly "represent." People everywhere would be better represented by #civicassemblies and #sortition (random selection from the local population).
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialOur elected oligarchs are handing over our future to AI. It's in our power, if we have the will, courage and imagination, to take the future back and make it something that works for all of us.
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialThe movement away from oligarchic elections toward democratic sortition is picking up speed as more and more people lose faith in our corrupt politics. Keep informed by following us.
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialA recovering politician explains how juries are like--and not like--civic assemblies that use sortition, or random selection to be filled.

@sortitionusa.bsky.socialCan we trust politicians and our hopelessly corrupt politics to make the right decisions for us about DATA CENTERS in our communities? Or would it be better to trust people who live in those communities with those decisions? #sortition #datacenters #climate #democracy

@sortitionusa.bsky.socialRecovering politician says election reform won't fix our broken politics. Sortition (randomized selection of deliberators and decision makers from the population at large) can.

"The crisis confronting liberal democracy is...not a rejection of democracy itself, but a growing belief that voting alone no longer provides meaningful political influence"
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialToday is a good day to join Sortition USA as a member. Membership is free. Come join us!
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialElections will not give us a Congress that looks, thinks, and acts like the people of the United States of America. Sortition (representative random sampling) will. If you agree, please join us.
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialFor starters, we need many more Americans to know what sortition and civic assemblies are. They already know how evidently corrupt Congress, election campaigns and our politics are. They need to become aware of a possible solution to the mess we're in.

@sortitionusa.bsky.socialWhat is needed is a Civic Assembly, chosen by sortition to reflect a more or less accurate demographic picture of the American people, to deliberate and decide on what to do about Congress.
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialSortition is a tool that can augment existing republican polities by involving underrepresented members of society. That’s good for democracy. It’s already augmenting current systems all over the world.
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialSortition USA is having a national meeting on Sunday 9/20, 4pm EDT/1pm PDT. It costs nothing to become a member. Come join us and get involved in the movement to replace representative oligarchy with deliberative democracy. Details at the link.
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialThe future of democracy everywhere, or democracy has no future. #sortition #democracy #civicassemblies
@sortitionusa.bsky.socialDo referendum elections actually reflect the will of the people? Watch this.
@petergarbutt.bsky.socialParty/Electoral politics is a game show for the political classes.
It has very little to do with democracy and good governance.
We need to get rid of this cause of all our woes, and replace it with a system that takes our crises seriously.
