Here, in this second installment of “Antipolitics,” part 2 of my project treats an alternative and epistemically superior basis for democratic self-rule - sortition, “a system whereby multiple, short-duration, representative samples of the full population are constituted into bodies that, like large courtroom juries, are chosen randomly from among ordinary equal citizens.”1 Parts 1 and 2 both focus on the American electoral experience, and while some of its faults may not be relevant to other electoral systems (such as those with party-based, proportional representation), the core of the argument does apply to elections generally. © 2023 Duke University Press.
