I nominate myself.

I have invented a new kind of democracy. It has a new structure--and more importantly--a new culture. My flagship article is here:

https://medium.com/discourse/tiered-democratic-governance-3f36a8f45660

I also have set up a pub called Tiered Democratic Governance. Many of my TDG articles have found their way there.

But admittedly, I cannot fulfill one of your requirements. I have only 1.1 K followers. My articles average about 20 reads.

Here is my summary of being on Medium for the past three years. I have engaged at least 2000 people on Medium (just like I am doing with you right now). From my perspective, the people have been inculcated into not thinking about even considering any kind of new way. They have all sorts of reasons to quickly dismiss my ideas. They will happily spend three hours this month reading Umair articles than spending three hours to read my TDG book (which is available for a free read from my website).

I was on about 10 other internent forums since 2009. Not much interest anywhere.

Have I read anyone else as optimistic as I? Nope!

Have I read anyone else to offer a practical solution? There has been a handful of writers. But they are not popular either. The answer is "Nope!"

Have I read anyone else to go beyond hoping, wishing, and praying for a better way to suddenly appear? Nope!

I have read many people who hope, wish, and pray for the current system to fix itself, but we know how that is working, don't we?

Am I likely to get as popular as Umair? It seems not.

If you are waiting for me (or some other forward thinker) to get popular, it will be long wait. This wait will allow Umair's prophecies to come true.
