The rise of digital communication channels in the 2000s brought hope that greater democracy was on the horizon. But is amplifying public concerns enough to influence government institutions? 🧵 #WeThePeople #OpenGov #DigitalDemocracy #CivicTech #USPoli #USpolitics

Great time on #ThisOldDemocracy podcast. Micah Sifry asked me about fusion in US history. Minor parties like the Liberty Party, Free Soilers & Workingmen’s Party fused with major parties to win change—without spoiling elections.

A centrist party could nudge the major parties back toward the moderate middle—and that's exactly what’s missing in our politics today. Balance isn’t weakness. It’s how democracy works. #ThirdParty #ThisOldDemocracy Micah Sifry Bill Kristol

“Vote the ticket” was the 1800s call to action—when parties printed their own ballots & fusion voting was the norm. Voters could drop a party’s ballot—or even a newspaper clipping—into the box. Major & minor party coalitions were common. A freer, more flexible democracy.
