The General Caucus

A new election system designed to
defeat tyranny and oligarchy.

The General Caucus is a series of tiered meetings for selecting politicians to specific offices, beginning at the precinct level where registered voters gather to choose delegates for the following caucus. At each precinct caucus, attendees debate relevant issues and group themselves with a potential delegate until one group achieves a simple majority. All office holders must come from the caucuses. State legislature districts are used because they are designed based on roughly equal population size.

Precinct caucuses will select all delegates for governor, senator, etc., but the following caucuses will be separated depending on the office. There may be a final statewide caucus, i.e. governor or senator, but they can also have regional caucuses, i.e. representative or elector. Ideally, discussions will focus on issues relevant to the specific office being filled such as local matters for mayoral selections, federal issues for senatorial choices, and so forth.

Ultimately, the general caucus is a system that defends the people from the perverse interests of the oligarchs and the populist rhetoric of tyrannically-minded candidates.

Eliminates Money in Politics

The General Caucus does not require
money to operate.

The General Caucus is a series of meetings by caucus-goers and delegates which does not need money to operate. There are no individual campaigns that need vast sums of money to sway voters with campaign commercials. It's not an election, it's a caucus! It's free! What a great idea!

No More Political Parties

All office holders must come
from the General Caucus.

The influence of the parties is severely reduced. Any potential office holder is required to pass through the precinct caucus, state legislature district caucus, and the final statewide caucus. Even if parties nominate a candidate, that nominee must attend and be chosen at all three caucuses.

Media Influence is Mitigated

Mass Media and Social Media Has Minimal Effect

With the General Caucus, there are millions of people involved at the precinct level with thousands of potential delegates to the state legislature district caucus. Both legacy and social media are not able to concentrate their power on any particular candidates with so many people involved in the process.

This will increase voter independence as voters engage directly with each other rather than being manipulated by media narratives. So much of the media's influence revolves around very base issues and usually prioritizes sensationalism over substance.

Additional Benefits of the General Caucus:

• No Ballots to Steal or Manipulate

• Populism Defeated

• Tyrannically-minded Candidates Become Irrelevant

• Foreign Intelligence Influence Eliminated

• No tribalism

• Horse Race Removed, Issues Become Priority
