... Our system of #electing #MPs, #FPTP, means national outcomes often bear little relation to how people actually #vote

- In 2024, #Labour’s 34% vote share translated into two-thirds of the seats. But that massive #majority hasn’t lent stability, because #stability comes from popular support.

If the #media reported how the #ElectoralCollege works and is designed to avoid the people directly #electing the #POTUS there might be some #RightousOutrage.

The Case For #Electing The First #Woman #President Of The #UnitedStates.

“While no one would claim that #women are a monolith who support any one #party or #agenda, there is #evidence that women #govern differently, working more collaboratively across party lines and introducing #legislation on issues that have historically gone unaddressed.”

The #conservative #city of #Enid, will hold a recall election in three weeks after electing a white nationalist to the #CityCouncil. His election has led to a surge of #political #activism in the #town.

I have been informed that discussing #Biden's #age is an "information operation."

It is not an "information operation" to state that the two major party #candidates are both the oldest people to run for #President, just like they were the last time they ran.

It is not an #InformationOperation to talk about how the two party system had destroyed #American #government.

It is not an "information operation" to expect candidates to make the case to #voters as to why they should have to job.

#Gerontocracy is a real thing and it IS destroying this country because of rabidly #partisan #hacks have made it impossible to have a serious discussion about #electing the county dog catcher.

Brazil's system wouldn't necessarily work here, based on this description. But #electing the winner of the national #popularvote President might.
