Welcome. This website is the successor to, and a more skeletal version of, my former website, raftd.org. It's a repository for a number of my political works. Thank you for visiting!

The message is essentially pretty simple: What we have under our current Constitution is elective oligarchy. What we need is actual democracy consisting of legislative
community assemblies and executive random-sample councils, as described in the first linked document.
My historical book on government and democracy, The Racket and the Answer: The Representative System and the Democratic Alternative, is linked here as well. My videos
are on Brighteon.com under the username taranda. I post on Minds.com under the same username.
