Could random citizens decide our future better than politicians?

Stephanie Koff and Greg Olear explore the fascinating concept of deliberative democracy. Instead of relying solely on elected officials, citizens assemblies utilize sortition—much like a jury selection process—to bring everyday people together to tackle complex societal issues. This approach challenges traditional governance models by suggesting that ordinary individuals might hold the key to overcoming polarization and making more effective collective decisions.
