The two-party system was broken, so Mia Rhodes created an alternative.
But when you fight the system, the system fights back.
After a lifetime of political disillusionment, Mia Rhodes created an alternative to the two-party system: Ameritocracy.

Anyone can run…
The American people vote online…
The winner receives instant fame and a campaign warchest to battle the Democrats and Republicans in 2020.
But her project flounders until Mia catches the eye of eccentric tech billionaire Peter Colton. With Mia’s vision and Peter’s money, Ameritocracy ascends from punchline to possibility. As the site grows, the stakes rise crisis by crisis, and Mia must learn that ending politics as we know it means saying goodbye to the Mia Rhodes she has always known.

This was a very interesting book to read especially, when you think of our country’s climate. We live in a two party system in our government and we get to vote on the better of the two or you stick to your repubican or democratic view. There is no third party and that’s where this book gets interesting. A young woman, Mia Rhodes, is tired of the two party system and sets out to do something different. She does it, she creates a website for others to run for president and get their name out in the public. The American people are the ones to vote. Lucky for her, she was able to receive a large sum of money from a billionaire, Peter Colton, to help develop the program. Her software does have an issue threatening the entire project but it is fixed and Mia moves on.
This is the first in a series of three which is good because I was left hanging when I finished the book. The characters are well written, the story line good, and interesting to read with everything happening in our country with the two running for president; one current president and the other a democratic.
Ameritocracy: Open Primary – a review by Rosemary Kenny
Mia Rhodes is an average American journalist who’s disenchanted with the fakery and hypocrisy of the US election system that allows someone with no political acumen, just plenty of rich backers and the ability to work the media to his or her own best advantage to get the prize as POTUS.
To that end she creates a new ‘reality-show’ online candidacy selection process called Ameritocracy 2020, that posits a clever and original ‘what if…?’ slightly tongue-in-cheek theory in A.C.Fuller’s Ameritocracy 2020 political series opener, Ameritocracy: Open Primary.
Guaranteed to take your mind away from fears of the Covid-19 pandemic and to cure your Lockdown Blues, it’s a great new trilogy with more than a grain of truth, that will change your view of how voting really works – and whether the system really is fair.

This is a MUST read for anyone who was disenfranchised by the 2016 Presidential Election. This is not a book that gets it all right, but it gets a lot of things right and wrong about our Democracy. I could not put this book down and read it at one sitting. A lot of the things I had tweeted about on Twitter were in this book. Our Democracy deserves and needs a 3rd party. The book was excellently written and the plot was for me a great one. The characters are very believable and not much different from today’s Politicians. I can not wait to get the next 2 books to see how it all turns out in the end. If you care about Politics then you have to read this book.
