What Americans Elect Should Do
Americans Elect is placing the cart before the horse. Just as in the case of the film, “Replacing A Dictator,” it is necessary to build the basis for civil society before overthrowing an unsatisfactory government. Otherwise chaos will ensue
AE should devote its resources to building coalitions between opposing ideologues rather than to finding an executive branch team for whom its coalition-building function will prevent its accomplishing anything after the unlikelihood of its election. AE's mission will have to be performed case-by-case, issue- by-issue.
Olympia Snowe has quit her senatorial career because of her frustration with what has become of America’s political system. Instead of a bipartisan slugfest, Americans would be better served by a direct governance structure that allowed them to obtain solutions to their common problems through the negotiation of their differences by modern communications methods, including social networking, mediated by non-partisan experts.
