What I want, politically

Politically, what I want is the maximum opportunity to shape whatever we, plurally, are doing. I don’t want to be the boss of everyone else, or indeed of *anyone* else. I just want my participation as one individual to be given maximum impact in the decision-making process. Some would say the most democratic arrangement possible.

I do have ideas but nothing akin to a blueprint. I’m not trying to get people to subscribe to my plans so much as help me create a communications environment where we can read or hear or watch each other’s messaging.

I want something political, not a laboratory for testing marketing campaigns for selling of products, if that makes sense.

I keep gravitating to message boards and forums that seem to match this description.

What do you think is the difference between political decision-making and non-political decision-making? Have you tried going to political meetings? In person?

You might be interested in watching a judicial mediation. Sometimes you can see a good part of the process at your metro area courthouse. Diplomatic talks sometimes use mediators in a similar manner, but those are less accessable for public observers.

Start locally? with your municipal or county or school boards?
