Outdated Democracy

A documentary film that will identify and expose the limitations of our two-party winner-take-all democracy.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

Senators voting to impeach represent 61.6% of Americans (202 million)

Senators voting to acquit represent 38.2% of Americans (125 million)

Shocking stat: 57 senators who voted to convict Trump represent 76.7 MILLION more Americans than 43 senators who voted to acquit

Unity doesn't pay the medical bills!

[Democracy for America @DFAaction]

.@DFAaction CEO @ysimpsonpower on the road ahead with President-elect @JoeBiden : "Unity is great, but freedom is better... Yes, we want to have compromise. Yes, we want bipartisanship. But... I want the kind of unity that leads to change for people who have waited for it."

Why indeed? #OnePersonOneVote shd be our standard. #LetThePeopleDecide is bs that #politicians say to make us feel good. It is flat out fantasy when it comes to #presidentialelection #provemewrong #SaveTheRepublic #IfWeCanKeepIt #GOPCoverUp stick a fork in the #USConstitution

Why do we pretend that we have #OnePersonOneVote? Why do we let politicians get away with saying #LetThePeopleDecide? #SaveTheRepublic End the #ElectoralCollege #OutdatedDemocracy #IfWeCanKeepIt

[Jonathan Capehart @CapehartJ]

This!

[Outdated Democracy @ODDemocracy]

Could agree with @SenAlexander to #LetThePeopleDecide Problem is that in US pres election, the #StatesDecide. In 2016, THE PEOPLE decided that @realDonaldTrump was WRONG for the job! Didn't matter. #63Million isn't that many! #OnePersonOneVote #SaveTheRepublic #FairTrial

@greg_price11 LA County is 4,751 sq mi with 140 cities and lots of kids! So not all 10 million are Dem voters! There are 327 million Americans, 245 million eligible voters. To understand, search for #USpopulation then #useacalculator #SavetheRepublic #democracy #ElectoralCollege #factsarefun

[Outdated Democracy @ODDemocracy]

@tinadancer5678 Problem is that instead of swing states, we'd have SWING CONGRESSIONAL DIST Oh that'd be fun AND connecting Congressional Dist to Presidency would incentivize GERRYMANDERING AND with 435 elections, it's very likely that no candidate gets to 270 - No winner! #ElectoralCollege

[Outdated Democracy @ODDemocracy]

@NoahCRothman Slaves were property. Period.

[Outdated Democracy @ODDemocracy]

And @alivelshi the #electoralcollege is bad for turnout. Some claim it "works." What about the hundred million voters (give or take) who stay home every 4 yrs bc their votes DON'T COUNT? @CommishSmith lives in Ohio. Must be nice! #PopularVote #onepersononevote #NPVIC #democracy

[lisa elaine scott @lisaelainescott]

Oh @AliVelshi not your best work! @CommishSmith gave shallow answers. Check your numbers! No candidate can win with cities alone! AND consider: it's easier to steal elections when only one state needs flippin'. Founders didn't WANT EC. It was a compromise. #PopularVote #alivelshi
