The Democrats have been a fiercely anti-democratic party working in collusion with the Republicans for decades to protect their duopoly control of the governing institutions of the nation. Now that the clash of these parties has devolved into a national crisis point, with the Republicans not even committed to democracy in their rhetoric, it is time for cross-partisan voices to come together for a push towards meaningful political reform. It is time to call the Democrats' bluff, and force them to call to the table the voices of leaders across the political spectrum who are not part of Trump's cult of personality.

It's time for the Democrats to stop their hypocrisy, transcend their noxious brand of partisan politics, and embrace the disparate and diverse voices of political independents and third party supporters who are sick of the meaningless political theater.

It's time for Greens, Libertarians, independents, and all political alternatives who are committed to constitutional democracy to come together to say enough is enough. It's time to put an end to the corrupt two-party duopoly and usher in a new age of meaningful, respectful, and constructive political discourse and debate.

[We are including Congressman Raskin because he has written powerfully and persuasively about the anti-democratic nature of the two-party duopoly].
