Two leading political thinkers offer an audacious proposal to
energize the electoral process Bruce Ackerman and James Fishkin
argue that Americans can revitalize their democracy and break the
cycle of cynical media manipulation that is crippling public life.
They propose a new national holiday-Deliberation Day-for each
presidential election year. On this day people throughout the
country will meet in public spaces and engage in structured debates
about issues that divide the candidates in the upcoming
presidential election. Deliberation Day isa bold new proposal, but
it builds on a host of smaller experiments. Over the past decade,
Fishkin has initiated Deliberative Polling events in the United
States and elsewhere that bring random and representative samples
of voters together for discussion of key political issues. In these
events, participants greatly increase their understanding of the
issues and often change their minds on the best course of action.
Deliberation Day isnot merely a novel idea but a feasible reform.
Ackerman and Fishkin consider the economic, organizational, and
political questions raised by their proposal and explore its
relationship to the larger ideals of liberal democracy.
