What do you all think about this site? Many conversations I have with people seem to end in agreement that we need to oust the current representatives. But we also agree that the process by which officials are elected seems to be the problem for why politicians always seem to be "the same shit, different smell". The only thing I can think of is vote third party or check out americanselect.org. It's a direct nomination of a party-free candidate. He/she would be free from all the poisonings of party politics. What do you think?
We cannot "oust" them, all we can do is quit feeding the system with our money. Let's hire ourselves because money is the only thing that talks in this world. We are the 55%.

This seems like a good idea in theory...but we would have to have a staggering plurality of participation. We can "oust" representatives by voting for those who are not represented by a political party. Didn't you look at the site even?
I looked at it, but I'm afraid that anybody who gets elected will continue to be fed by a corrupt system and they will change when they get in office. Paying ourselves will make it more possible for wealth to not be extracted as it is now. We will reinvest to protect future generations, not steal from them. It is all about Open-Book accounting.
Replace political parties with .Party free candidacy groups.
