Because I post this, some readers will believe that I’m somehow “Republican.”
In fact I think the two-party system in our modern democracies is hopelessly broken; it probably cannot be fixed.
But I do admire Kim Klacik’s outspokenness and courage, even though I think electing a Republican slate won’t see much change at the urban level.
The Alliance of course is not a party and not a “slate.” What they do will matter, I believe.
Please don’t write me and accuse me of being partisan/anti-Democrat, etc. At 60 emails a day (my job description does not include answering emails), I may not answer: Let me say here instead that you will have missed my point.
I’m anti-corruption and I greatly admire Kim Klacik for going as far as she did. I wouldn’t expect her to ditch the party system entirely. But I do anticipate that all societies will, once things really start to get underway.
