Finally, we have a choice! We can use the internet to upset the current political system. I just found about about Americans Elect today. What you think?
I'd say it's better than the status quo. Better than a left government who still takes money from big corporations, which equals corruption plus no jobs
I think there's good reason to believe that AE will manipulate the nomination process to restrict it to candidates that reflect the austerity-oriented centrists that populate its Board of Directors.
AE is a closed corporation whose by-laws allow the Directors to eliminate members and/or nominees for reasons known only to them.
Also, there is no structure of law which governs the nomination process, and no guarantee that the online nomination process isn't tamper proof. A lot of info about AE is available at their site, but also here: http://irregulartimes.com/ Search for Americans Elect on this site and you'll find many posts that trace its evolution from a critical perspective.
