Our Core Values
We choose to operate above the partisan fray.
-
Our current political environment, too often, is toxic and focused on extreme partisan rhetoric. We simply do not engage in this behavior.
-
We do not demonize, dehumanize or disown anyone because of their political (or any other) beliefs.
We operate with urgency to enact specific election innovations.
-
We are laser-focused on the three innovations we champion: open primaries, voting innovations and Final-Five Voting.
-
We act with urgency because our mission is critical and we say no to everything else.
We role model intellectual honesty in pursuing structural and incentive-changing solutions, grounded in research and historical context.
-
There are no silver bullets or political saviors to quickly fix our dysfunctional, toxic political system.
-
Implementing our targeted election innovations will take time, wisdom and true cross-partisan coalition building.
We play the long game and know we will be friends when our work is done.
-
Banding together, from across the country and across the political spectrum, to “do our duty as we understand it.”
-
Having fun while working hard to implement powerful systematic innovations that fundamentally change the incentives in our anti-competitive two-party “duopoly.”
-
All while pursuing with the ambitious goal of saving American democracy from the two-party doomloop: partisan extremism, gridlock and dangerous division.
