#Oklahoma #OpenPrimaries

@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.

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.

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.

@anubis2814 @TheConversationUS Yes, #RankedChoiceVoting is preferable, but it requires state legislators to enact it. Red states like #Tennessee that currently have #OpenPrimaries are trying to CLOSE primaries, but #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting is open to ALL!

#USpol

If you haven't yet signed the Open Primaries Initiative, or if you have friends who haven't yet signed, you have one last chance.
Volunteers will be collecting signatures outside of One World Cafe in Moscow on Saturday from 11am until 7pm. Please stop by and add your signature, and bring a friend if you can!
If you're holding on to any signatures you've collected, this is also an opportunity to get your petitions notarized and turned in.

@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.

@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?

@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!!

@markmetz A #ConstitutionalConvention is the wet dream of every single #ammosexual I’ve had the displeasure of meeting in #Tennessee.

#Resist and #VoteBlue in the #2024election to #SaveAmerica !

But #PrimaryFromTheCenter in #SouthCarolina and in states with #OpenPrimaries on #SuperTuesday , because you #PunchANazi with every vote for #NikkiHaley !

Every vote 🗳️ for #NikkiHaley will #PunchANazi 🤜 in the face!

@michalz00 @randahl And that’s also why folks in #TheResistance should vote for #NikkiHaley in #SouthCarolina now and other states with #OpenPrimaries on #SuperTuesday.

#SaveAmerica , #PunchANazi in the voting booth TWICE in the #2024election. 🗳️ 🤜

I live in #Tennessee , which has an #OpenPrimary.

I don’t need no shrinking #14thAmendment to keep #DonaldTheDeplorable off the ballot in the #2024election. I’m voting for #NikkiHaley on #SuperTuesday and you should, too, if you live in a state with #OpenPrimaries!

#Democracy is FUN 🤩! #PunchANazi 🤜 in the voting booth!

And unlike the state of #Colorado , the #SCOTUS (now a #SCROTUS ) can’t stop 🛑 you from voting #Trump off the ballot by just ignoring the #Constitution.

@nwchapman @markmetz Similarly, for Blacks in #America , #CRT is not a ‘theory’.

Sadly, there are once again #FreeStates and #SlaveStates in the #USA. This time, the bodies of White women are also among the slaves to the alliance of #WhiteSupremacists and #ChristianNationalists.

#VoteBlue in the #2024election , but to save #AmericaFirst #PrimaryFromTheCenter (🗳️ #NikkiHaley ) in #SouthCarolina and on #SuperTuesday in states with #OpenPrimaries. #USpol

Time for an #introduction

I started on Mastodon to see how it would fit but now I've decided to deliberately spend more time here.

I'm a husband/father/technology professional (mostly database stuff) with an overarching interest in human flourishing and specific interests in #politics (things like #UncapTheHouse, #OpenPrimaries, and #RankedChoiceVoting would alter political incentives away from extremes), #religion, #education, #FlagDesign, #cooking, #sports (mostly college), and #BasicIncome
