With the antics and atrocities committed by Trump since the start of his second term, there has never been a better time than today to implement a system of participatory democracy, or at least a political system in which political representatives are chosen by sortition. I honestly think it would be very difficult to achieve an outcome as bad as the one we have now.

"In governance, sortition is the selection of public officials or jurors at random, i.e. by lottery, in order to obtain a representative sample.

In ancient Athenian democracy, sortition was the traditional and primary method for appointing political officials, and its use was regarded as a principal characteristic of democracy. Sortition is often classified as a method for both direct democracy and deliberative democracy.

Today sortition is commonly used to select prospective jurors in common-law systems. What has changed in recent years is the increased number of citizen groups with political advisory power, along with calls for making sortition more consequential than elections, as it was in Athens, Venice, and Florence."

@susankayequinn John Lithgow --> 20 Lessons on Tyranny:

Now, more than ever, we need the wisdom of our intellects, the patriotism of our citizens, and the passion and talents of those who still believe in the American experiment. I am deeply grateful to Timothy Snyder for his 20 Lessons On Tyranny and for talents of the brilliant John Lithgow for bringing them to life.

“Polls show that voters care more about the economy than the fall of #democracy, we must change their minds.

While there’re exceptions, too many Democrats will not call out Trump, sidestepping core constitutional protections like #dueprocess & freedom of speech. Instead, most Dems are talking about the price of eggs, the tariffs, tax cuts for billionaires, & cuts to health care programs like Medicaid."

Natürlich findet der Dokumentarfilm »What is #Democracy?« (2018) von #AstraTaylor bei uns nicht statt, und nur zwei Titel an denen sie mitwirkte gibts bei uns (2010 und 2011 bei #Suhrkamp).
Dafür liegen überall immer mehr Alt-Right-Bücher in den Politik-, Gesellschafts- und Wirtschafts-Regalen der Buchhandlungen.

To those whose red line is not genocide, those vote blue no matter who white moderates, those politically expedient lesser of two evils liberals-- at least fight against the theft of your soul.

Book cover for One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This By Omar El Akkad author of American War Picture is black on a red background of a bomb falling on a small girl in a dress. She has braided pigtails. In her left hand is a flower losing petals. She is raising two fingers in a peace sign with her right hand.
ONE DAY, EVERYONE WILL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST THIS by Omar El Akkad ~~~ To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul. ONE DAY, EVERYONE WILL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST THIS by Omar El Akkad

Sweet Home Alaberta 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇲🇽

I really hope both Canada and Australia utterly eliminate their MAGA fascist traitor parties this election. Canada and Australia have been heavily influenced by Americanism for decades...time to end that with force.

Both Dutton and Poilievre need to lose their seats. Make it so.

Coalition senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price poses in a MAGA cap with her husband Colin Lillie in this Yuletide snap taken from her social media page. And her boss, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, immediately downplayed the line, a theme Coalition MPs resolutely stuck to over the weekend with rictus grins as they tried to mop up the campaign snafu.
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre speaks during a rally in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 24, 2024. The federal Conservatives say they won't be taking advice from "so-called experts" when it comes to climate policy, after more than 200 economists signed an open letter challenging Poilievre's stance on the price on carbon.
