I think you missed the point of my article, which is lefties would rather fight the other side than consider a different kind of democracy.

I am offering the world that different kind of democracy. If I could get a 1% return on my investment into Medium, that would be satisfactory. That 1% goal is more important than becoming popular. But my return is effectively 0%.

I have 184 articles up; at least half are related to this new democracy. I have tried different titles and different approaches. I have done some serial work, posting every day. I am confident that I have attained a sufficient statistical sample of Medium to realize any future traction is unlikely.

This particular article--fight vs. build--seems to be on of my "better" articles: 34 reads and 16 likes. Probably a few more to come in in the next couple of days. I just checked the website and book sales: none of those 16 likes found their way to learning more about this system.

Conclusion: Political lefties on Medium want to fight rather than learn about a new democracy.
