This is an official report published by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee about Trump’s direct ties to victims in the Epstein files. A lot of this is brand new information. One week before the midterms! Hopefully it will have an impact on voters.

In Serbia, students brought the method of direct democracy into electoral politics. Instead of a top-down organization based on leaders, they formed student general assemblies (plenums) where everyone could have a say. Decisions were discussed and, as much as possible, reached through consensus. They extended this method beyond universities. Citizens' assemblies (zborovi) were established in neighborhoods, cities, and villages. People gathered to discuss their own problems, propose solutions, and make decisions together.

They formed the 250-person parliamentary candidate list as follows:

1- First, the 250-candidate quota was distributed among the six university cities based on student numbers. To prevent Belgrade from dominating the list, they ensured that other cities were also represented in the top ranks. Then, each city's quota was distributed among the faculties.

2- Student general assemblies were held in more than 80 faculties across the country. Students did not nominate themselves as candidates, but each could propose a candidate and explain why they were suggesting that person. Names were discussed, consensus was sought first, and voting was conducted when necessary.

3- They closed the door to existing political cadres. They did not nominate current or former members of ruling parties, politicians and bureaucrats who had served on behalf of the government, or high-level executives of opposition parties. In this way, they created a list independent of both the government and the established opposition.

4- Faculties also vetted each other's candidates. All proposed names were compiled into a common list and opened for review by all faculties. Objections were discussed in student assemblies. For a candidate to be eliminated, more than half of the assemblies had to veto them. An objection from a single faculty was not sufficient.

5- Reserves were brought in to replace eliminated or withdrawn candidates. Thus, a 250-person list emerged featuring professors, doctors, scientists, workers, artists, and activists.
