From CAO Michael
Develin's LinkedIn page:
"Our
current
political system is one where in practice about 0.5% of voters
select the two options
for president and about 20% of voters cast a relevant vote between
them. The system that has evolved
around
this is full of calcified institutions that both theoretically
and empirically aren't delivering
good
outcomes to the American people.
"We're
hopeful
there's a better way, and hopeful that the current atmosphere
of partisan hatred
and bickering is still salvageable into one where the best ideas and
spirit of this country can shine."
