Two-party systems are pretty terrible at creating policies we actually want. #ProportionalRepresentation #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #EndPolarization

@jonah Great to see that you touched on the #LinuxMobile option. I'm daily driving #postmarketOS on my #Librem5 and it's good enough to do most of what I need - the only thing does not work is recording sound in videos. Even running #FOSS Android apps using #Fdroid, #Obtainium, etc. on #Waydroid works, although the #LibertyPhone with more RAM and storage is better suited for it.
There's also the #FLX1 (runs #Droidian-based #FuriOS) which comes at a more affordable price, and Android app compatibility set up out of the box. I think that is more 'normie'-friendly and has decent specs overall compared to true Linux phones. Camera quality is as good as Android as it uses Android kernel and drivers.

It's time to break out of this two-party doom loop. #ProportionalRepresentation #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #EndPolarization

This article is obviously UK oriented, but it's not hard to see how the two-party system in #California inevitably lets down #lgbtq #lgbtq_plus folks. What's the alternative to voting Democrat when the party's leaders throw trans kids under the bus? How can a tiny legislature with only (barely) two political parties even begin to represent the gender diversity, culture and political diversity of a nation-sized state of 40 million people? #democracy #ProportionalRepresentation #EndTheDuopoly

Hello fediverse! We're the ProRep Coalition, a growing coalition of smaller parties and pro-democracy organizations working together to bring multiparty democracy to #California. Our goal is to pass a ballot measure in 2028 to establish a system of Proportional Representation in the state legislature. With PR political parties win about as many seats as their percentage of the vote. So voters can finally elect reps from parties other than just Democrats and Republicans.
We can break up the two-party system, in California and the U.S. Please help spread the word! And California residents please sign the statement of support at https://www.prorepcoalition.org/take-action

"Coles and Woolworths have so much power that they don't need to compete hard on price," the ACCC supermarket inquiry found. Their gain is our pain. #remahformoreton #auspol #CostOfLivingCrisis #EndTheDuopoly #PeopleBeforeProfits #VoteGreens

From the New Statesman 👇
Labour voters n supporters. Will you now accept that Labour as an alternative to the Tories no longer exists?

Oh dear! But the IPOS survey also found '57% don't like Starmer'. Vote Green/Independent

And I would also add 'a big deal the Tories AND LABOUR are privatising the NHS . . .'

The US has spent $8,000,000,000,000 on wars since 2000. Just imagine if our government has spent that amount to increase the well being of our citizens and the health of the planet, instead of death.
How "non-stop wars" grew the U.S. debt

How the two major parties plan to entrench their #duopoly through upcoming "Integrity Reform" legislation.
For those outside of #Auspol and who haven't been following the hilariously infuriating #HonestGovernmentAds by #JuiceMedia, this is likely to be simultaneously baffling and depressingly familiar.

I often come across electoral reformers that want to argue. I get it. You have a favorite method, and you want everybody else to like it as well.
To truly further #ElectoralReform and #EndTheDuopoly, however, you need to:
1) spend more time on outreach than arguing
2) campaign *positively* for your favored method (i.e., don't attack other alternate methods).Otherwise you unwittingly help the duopoly persist by splitting the vote against plurality itself!
