America: If you want more democracy; skip the primaries, skip the electoral college, skip precincts that can be gerrymandered.
Just vote directly on all the candidates, count the votes, and put the representatives with most into congress.
Every extra qualifying step in-between means LESS democracy.

#Alabama lawmakers approved a plan Friday for new #US #House #primaries if courts allow the state to use different congressional districts in this year’s elections, sending the #legislation to #Republican Gov. Kay Ivey.
The move came the same day that the #Virginia Supreme Court dealt a major setback to #Democrats by overturning a #redistricting plan that could have helped Democrats win as many as 4 additional House seats.

Democratic Majority for Israel #DMFI is a lobbying group advocating pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party.
They had cancelled their ads in NE-02 after the beneficiary, New Dem-endorsed Denise Powell, had disavowed support from pro-Israel PACs.
Now they are running ads in NE-02 through a shell PAC called "Pro-Choice Majority 2026," which has the same campaign treasurer.https://prospect.org/2026/05/06/pro-israel-super-pac-returns-in-pro-choice-clothing-nebraska/

#Democrat #ChedrickGreene beats #Republican #JasonTunney in a #Saginaw area special #election in #Michigan
Meaning:
The Michigan State #Senate will be 20-18 in favor of the Democrats, rather than a tie
"Who cares, #Trump is the problem"
On the contrary, the #presidency is just a capstone on a huge system, and when we take our eye off the little #elections, we get a systemic rot that leads to someone like Trump
#Vote. Especially the #primaries. It all matters

There are many problems with #USA #democracy
Like the stupid #ElectoralCollege
Gore beat Bush in 2000, Clinton beat Trump in 2016. In the popular vote. The EC erased it
Well here's another reason for you to #vote in the #primaries and the general #election:
The #Democrats, if they win enough in November, can kill the EC
It's been a 20 year effort of states agreeing to void the EC if enough agree: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

you're being aspirational, and correct, but you're not announcing *how* to achieve that
it's like going "arrest #Trump!"
ok
and?
how?
to get #rankedChoiceVoting, which is creeping in in the #USA, and would allow for stable viable 3rd parties... how?
we have to elect #Democrats who support that (some do, some don't: vote in the #primaries people!)
the #GOP has taken a blanket stand against #RCV nationally, so this is the only way forward

I got my ballot.
The only Democratic candidate for governor to submit their info for the booklet appears to be Governor Kotek. The other 9 Democrats on the ballot apparently said, "Nah, really, vote for Tina." All declined. There are 14 Republicans in opposition. The one with the most name recognition might be Christine Drazan. I just felt a sudden chill.
The first candidate whose glossy PR has arrived in my mailbox is a candidate for a county judge position, Laura Rowan. A nice pitch, a familiar framing of a candidate in this area, and she has some solid endorsements. The early bird.

"The #USA has the best #military and growing #freedom!"
Mmm. Yeah. Uh huh. Mmm
While my fellow Americans huff that cringe lying #cope, the truth is that there is a country that has the best military and growing freedom
Ukraine is now the real "leader of the free world"
The USA is rotting
I wish my fellow Americans would FUCKING #VOTE ALREADY. Entitled assholes
In the #primaries. Real left candidates

Now, remember. Make your voices heard in the primaries, too. Don't let another Fetterman or Sinema be a roadblock to progress. Everything in this entire universe is temporary. We're already ghosts. Vote like you want to haunt the place. I may write in Jane Fonda.

#AOC took down a #democrat #establishment titan, while working as a bartender

If there is one thing I might suggest to #California governor #primaries voters is to NOT TO VOTE TOO SOON.
Voting day is June 2, so we have one month in which candidates are going to go all-out in their campaigning. A lot can happen in four weeks. Don’t lock in your vote too early.
Thanks to California’s awful open primary system, our goal in this primary is to get at least one Democratic candidate on the ballot. If we split our votes too many different ways, we’re going to have to choose between two Trumper Republicans for governor this November, and that will be BAD NEWS. We do not want a Trumper executive running the economic powerhouse that is California.
I hate this open primary. It sucks so much.
