My answer to complaint about the election of Joe Biden
It strikes me as an opportunity to get rid of this absurd idea of a president and this corrupt and obsolete practice of elections. I have noticed that many people, regardless of education, demonstrate remarkably good sense in ordinary conversations. It occurred to me that democracy could be preserved if the old-fashioned town meeting could be revived with membership extended to every adult citizen who chose to attend such neighborhood or town meetings. Then, when a special representative was needed to convey the consensus of the neighborhood to the next highest collection of neighborhoods, whether it be the city or the county or whatever is convenient, the practice of sortition should be employed. This is the way we choose jurors, except that people who have served recently are excluded to avoid the rise of demagogues. Elections may still be employed to recall a representative who does not carry out the will of the council that chose him.
