How popular democracy has paradoxically eroded trust in political systems worldwide, and how to restore confidence in democratic politics In recent decades, democracies across the world have adopted measures to increase popular involvement in political decisions. Parties have turned to primaries and local caucuses to select candidates; ballot initiatives and referenda allow citizens to enact laws directly; many places now use proportional representation, encouraging smaller, more specific parties rather than two dominant ones.Yet voters keep getting angrier.There is a steady erosion of trust in politicians, parties, and democratic institutions, culminating most recently in major populist victories in the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. Frances Rosenbluth and Ian Shapiro argue that devolving power to the grass roots is part of the problem. Efforts to decentralize political decision-making have made governments and especially political parties less effective and less able to address constituents’ long-term interests. They argue that to restore confidence in governance, we must restructure our political systems to restore power to the core institution of representative democracy: the political party.

Why do millions of Americans feel politically powerless in their self-rule democracy? Instead of adopting an active citizenship role, belief in political myths have lulled citizens into a passive, powerless citizenship style. This book both identifies the root cause of political powerlessness but also provides a step-by-step guide for readers to evaluate their current citizenship style and to consider alternative styles that better match their personal view of their place in the American democracy.

Do you trust the government? Do you feel represented by the politicians inside the government? Do you trust politicians? Do you vote for "the lesser of two evils"?The truth is you do not live in a real democracy. Electoral Representative Democracy is not a truly democratic system, it is oppressive, it concentrates power in a few hands, it is inefficient, polarizing, easily corrupted and it tends to generate either stagnation or dictators.What options do we have?Stay on this oppressive, polarizing, and inefficient system until it breaks apart or a dictator or violent revolution terrorizes our society.Implement a more oppressive and totalitarian system to maintain "order" and ramp up "efficiency". Implement one of the truly democratic but inefficient systems that have already been developed and applied like direct democracy or sortition democracy.Develop new, efficient, just, and real democratic systems and processes like the Democratic Objectivecracy.What is our best option?The Democratic Objectivecracy: a new social organization system that is truly democratic, participatory, efficient, hard to corrupt, that distributes power equally among all citizens, it incentivizes collaboration and cooperation to achieve societies common objectives, it protects citizens from oppression and abuses of power and it generates new opportunities and freedoms. The Democratic Objectivecracy maximizes organization and citizens' power while eliminating hierarchy and the concentration of power in a few hands.Can we really change the system?Of course! Systems have been changed before and they will continue to change. The real question is not whether or not the system will change but whether it will change peacefully or through violence and whether it will change to be more oppressive or a more just and free system.Do you want real democracy?Do you trust the government?
