Medium has many articles about the possibility that a former American president might be going to prison soon! So many happy thoughts abound!
But no one is asking the right questions. How did we really get to the position of sending former president to prison? How do we prevent it from happening again?
Since 1997, I have been working and promoting a new kind of democracy. I claim this system would never give someone like Mr. Donald Trump high political office. If the TDG were in place, we would not have had all this political drama for the past eight years — and the few more dysfunctional years yet to come.
You would think my claim should generate some investigation, especially with all the evidence that western democracy is breaking down. But too many well-meaning people feel so powerless to go beyond the current boundaries of political participation. They can’t even investigate this new way!
About a week ago, the people behind the website “Saving the World Together” found the TDG. They asked me for an interview. Last Saturday we spent a couple of hours together. The interview is now uploaded at this link:

I also recommend spending time with the “Saving the World Together” website. Luke and Martin give time to many people with interesting ideas — which do not get much attention from the populist world.
Their collection of videos are great examples of non-judgmental listening, a skill many of us need to learn.
