VOTING IN SANITY: Creating the Democracy We Deserve
“Voting In Sanity will change forever how you think about our two-party system.”
—William Poundstone, bestselling author of "Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?" and "Gaming the Vote"
On November 8, 2016, the “least-favorable” presidential candidate in American history defeated the 2nd-least-favorable candidate in the 2016 race to become President (while—in a pathetic travesty of democracy—many more-broadly-supported candidates from across the political spectrum never made it onto our general-election ballot!). Protests soon broke out across the country, with millions of people erroneously believing that the Electoral College had somehow betrayed them because the losing candidate received more votes nationwide than the winning candidate (Donald Trump). Unfortunately, few people understand the true cause of their Our fundamentally flawed and totally dysfunctional ‘single choice’ voting method, in every election throughout the land, simply cannot find the collective “will of the people” but instead selects the preference of only the polarizing plurality.
Voting In Sanity is the first book for the general populace that systematically reveals the source of our dysfunctional, polarized politics. It describes how the two-party system has been an inherent part of our democracy since our nation’s inception, and George Washington’s warning to us in his Farewell Address (paragraph 22) of the danger of the two-party system and the eventual rise of an authoritarian figure who promises to ‘save’ us from it. But Voting In Sanity does not stop at mere historical criticism. Beyond just pointing out the structural flaws in our political system, the author concludes with a specific grassroots plan of action to mitigate our polarized politics and thus create a greater world of peace and prosperity for all.
With more than 10 years of scholarship and research on the subject, author George Sanders offers an explosive exposé: our voting method is fundamentally incapable of finding “the will of the people,” and only a simple but wholesale revision of our voting system—as fully described in Voting In Sanity—will suffice to provide us the true democracy we deserve.
Once you read Voting In Sanity, you’ll never again wonder why it seems so impossible to elect leaders who truly represent us, but you will know exactly what We the People as individuals can do about it!
“Read Voting In Sanity and you’ll rethink how voting works altogether.”
