...by guaranteeing it is honest, transparent, and unhackable/unable to be stolen, we do NOT live in a representative democracy.
We are screwed by shadow groups that can manipulate the system.

All the ground games, strategies, "get out the vote" campaigns, and donations to candidates of your choice are F U T I L E efforts.
When we get serious about the process, and mandate and implement true reform, then we can put politicians in who have OUR interests at heart, and we can begin to change the world........

ADDRESS the climate disaster that is about to destroy most life on this planet;
ENSURE justice for all citizens;
PROVIDE food and medical security for all,

...and all those other crazy Utopian ideas that are supposed to make life more enjoyable for every inhabitant of planet Earth.
