I recognized that political parties are inherently dysfunctional in 1992. I could see that the parties would eventually take us to the point we see today. Democratic regression, not progression, was in their DNA.

I've been working an alternative democracy since 1997. Just as you see certain people of the political left not facing reality, I see just about everyone not facing the reality that we really need to replace western democracy.

In the past 31 months, I'm pretty sure I've interacted with at least 2000 Medium people. Not one worker for this new democracy has emerged.
