The '''Articles of Unity''', also known as '''Unity 2020''', is a grass roots political movement started by the public intellectual and evolutionary biologist [[Bret Weinstein]] that seeks to provide an alternative ticket for the [[2020 United States presidential election]] to avoid electing either [[Joe Biden]] or [[Donald Trump]]. The Unity 2020 ticket will consist of two candidates drafted from the left and the right who have agreed to govern as a team with the president of the ticket being chosen by a coin flip. They would try to make decisions by consensus and the president would only make a decision in a case that there could not be consensus or in the case of an emergency. Unity 2020 has currently selected [[Tulsi Gabbard]] and [[Dan Crenshaw]] to be the two candidates but neither person has yet to state publicly if they will run on the ticket. They currently plan to gain ballot access in all 50 states by working with third-parties that already have ballot access and running on their ticket.
