MODERATORS
I hope the 2024 election is not another decision between Trump and Biden. When George Washington finally stepped down as President, his final words of caution were to avoid political parties, because, as he put it
I wish that we did not have such a polarized 2-party system in the US. It’s hard to find a system that reduces political strategizing while encouraging democracy, so I find this document interesting.
Y'know what system has very little strategizing? Sortition
I'm convinced that sortition would be the best way to represent a large group of people as a whole, at least over time it would generally represent those people accurately.
With no voting for who joins the legislative body, there's no campaigning, no inherent monetary advantages of joining a mainstream party. People can represent their own individual perspectives or at least join parties that suit their beliefs more closely.
