  1. @futurebird The center *is* being lost. But #Americans have always had the ability to hold it. They just have to break old (bad) habits that the Founding Fathers told us to, and #PrimaryFromTheCenter.

    Note: #Fascists in #USpol know this obstacle to their #Project2025 and have been trying to ban #OpenPrimaries in #RedStates.

    #Resist intelligently. Use #MATH.

  3. This is also why I have long advocated for expanding the House. #UncapTheHouse

    I am also convinced that we should not limit voters to a single party in primary elections. (Still one vote per race but like the general election they can split their ticket.) #OpenPrimaries

    These are necessary steps to realign our government to be "of the people, by the people, and for the people" as our founders hoped.

    What they designed was calculated to support human flourishing.

  4. Notice only one Republican bothers to respond. They are so arrogant in this state. This is why we need open primaries and ranked choice voting.

  8. @GottaLaff Man! As hard as we work to get these issues on ballots, the right works just as hard to throw up road blocks. In #Idaho #openPrimaries is close to getting enough signatures to get that issue on the ballot. And the damn legislature just rammed through a bill (on the governor's desk) that will hamper ballot initiatives by allowing the disqualification of whole pages of signatures if someone asks who is paying the gatherer and isn't satisfied with the answer.

  10. @LittleTownJane
    I agree with you that this is a terrible way to run a primary.

    If #FreedomOfAssociation means anything, shouldn't it mean that Republicans should be able to pick their nominee without interference from Democrats, and vice versa?

  11. @TheConversationUS #Democrats , #Independents , and sane #Republicans don’t only support #NikkiHaley because we hope she’ll win the #GOP nomination in the #2024election. That’s a ‘moonshot’. We support her, and vote 🗳️ for her - especially in states like #SouthCarolina and #Tennessee ⬇️ with #OpenPrimaries - to ‘soften-up’ Trump for a historic pounding and #MAGA knockout in November!!
