To me departures from the principle of equal citizenship and political equality are very dangerous, so the right path forward is to circumscribe the role of elections not to circumscribe the electorate. — PolitiTweet.org

I think serious critique of America’s conception of good government as “vote vote vote” would be welcome. We have far too many elections and elected officials and would benefit from a more modest view of what’s a reasonable number of discrete things to ask people to vote on. — PolitiTweet.org

I’d favor fewer discrete layers of local government, fewer independently elected officials, no elected judges & prosecutors, and ideally unicameral legislatures with proportional representation. Ideas that take voter ignorance seriously without compromising civic equality. — PolitiTweet.org
