Millennials are no strangers to the wide variety of political systems they’ve heard of in their lifetime: communism, socialism, monarchy, to name a few. As many of these systems fail and get recycled under new names, the United States continues to thrive under the model of representative democracy . . . or so we think. Though the United States government has relied on a model in which citizens elect officials to represent their interests, many voters feel as if they lack power and their right to petition is being treated more like a suggestion box. Millennials might question where their government is headed and how that might impact the needs of them and their children, especially if their voices are not driving change. But a solution exists to drive change, and it can start with millennials. Written from a millennial’s point of view, Millennial Democracy highlights the limitations of representative democracy and why it must be upgraded to a process that centralizes the concerns and rights of voters. This brief essay, which can easily be digested by the end of three New York City subway morning commutes, also offers a solution to give the right to petition back to the voters.
