Alert citizens appear to have Americans Elect fully understood. It could still be captured for good, but right now it is corrupt beyond imagination.
Enhancing Democracy or Strengthening the Emerging Oligarchy: Which Will It Be?
Joseph Firestone
Corrente, 19 December 2011
EXTRACT:
This is the fifth in a series of posts on some of these new web-based platforms and how they relate to this central question of oligarchy vs. democracy. The first, “A System-Changing Solution for the OWS Movement?”, which I co-authored with Nancy Bordier, compared and contrasted two alternatives available to OWS, the Interactive Voter Choice System and Americans Elect (AE). The second focused on AE. The third analyzed No Labels (NL), and the fourth covered Ruck.us. Here, I’ll explore in more detail the question of the relationships among AE, No Labels, and Ruck.us, and explicitly consider the possibility of some combination of the three organizations, whether formal or informal, working together to impact the political system. I’ll also discuss the likely implications of such a combination for the American body politic.
