Maybe we have passed this point, so what choices do we have?

Where else can so many states in, number, political persuasion, varied size, economic standing be seen talking together, trying to develop a better world?
The United Nations for all its shortcomings is the best hope we have as a global governance watchdog (apparently). Needless to say it needs major reforms & restructuring, not least ending the #veto & end present security council failures, they are undemocratic. We need to experiment with democracy not put it in a box. It let's #civilsociety thrive & people grow. #worldfederalism #Education #Equality #Justice #worldcitizen #sortition

The Laboratory of Democracy - Rivera Sun

The United States is a laboratory for democracy – a centuries-long experiment in what does and does not work for people making decisions together.

These boys make the case for choosing leaders by #sortition look overwhelming.

I don't need lobbyists; I need choice.
I don't need representation; I need a place.
I don't need to be told; I need to be heard.
I don't need divisive tribal politics.
What I need is a fully staffed, well trained, truly independent civil service, guided by peoples assemblies, guided by experience. We can have #Unityindiversity.
"I" can't speak for "others" but "we" can agree, if not we can have a dialogue, there is a way through this and many of the the 99% are experimenting with options. Others are waking up every day and joining the conversation. Many of them are taking action. I am grateful.

Serving as a Supreme Court justice should be like jury duty but for judges. None of this lifetime appointment business; trying to make a branch of government free of political influence is impossible. The best you can do is select candidates across as broad a population as possible with a selection standard that changes less often than the lifetimes of candidates. #sortition #lottocracy #demarchy
