We can't reach Umair's goals with our current versions of democracy. The political elite, the wealthy, the academics, the majority, will not reform democracy for us. Stop believing that we can vote our way out of this mess--and really move into the the 21 century.

We really need to rebuild democracy. We--THE PEOPLE--need to build it.
