    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

  2. @numodular @georgetakei

    the #USA is an #FPTP #voting system

    meaning there can only be 2 parties

    it's not corruption, it's just math (not saying corruption doesn't exist, but even if all corruption magically disappeared, we'd still have only 2 parties)

    a 3rd party on the left would divide the left vote and #MAGA would win

    i want 3rd parties

    to get that we need #rankedChoiceVoting

    to get ranked choice voting, we have to elect #Democrats who support it

    ( #GOP has taken a stand against #RCV)

    Also, lobby for Ranked Choice Voting / Instant Runoff Voting (RCV / IRV), and educate folks regarding how it works!

    It has the potential to break the two-party stranglehold, thus forcing politicians of all stripes to listen more carefully to voters and work harder at serving the public, rather than simply trying to be the lesser of two evils.

  6. "Dems rage over Fetterman's DHS vote"

    our #duopoly is so dumb. there's a good chance that lots of seats wouldn't be Dem or GOP if not for the candidate with views outside the party norm that could win there. but maybe that's bullshit. we know these complaints will never end and neither will the dumb political media conversation until "weird" candidates are no longer forced to choose a side (with all the baggage that entails) to have a chance to represent their constituents.

  7. Santa Monica should ditch its plurality at-large council elections and come into compliance with the California Voting Rights Act. But winner-take-all district elections aren't the only possible solution. Proportional #RankedChoiceVoting gives minority groups of all kinds the best opportunity to elect representatives of their choice, avoids spoilers and wasted votes, and ensures the large majority of voters actually get to choose a winner.

  8. @thetyee “You probably shouldn’t blame Idlout for wanting to leave the NDP. It’s tempting to join a real party, sort of like Pinocchio wanting to be a real boy.”

    What an offensive joke of an opinion piece. “Dr. Steve” should take his useless opinions and shove them.

    This is not funny, it’s infuriating. #TheTyee is slipping into an abyss publishing this partisan shite.

  10. This week, 4 prominent Chicago faith leaders called on Illinois to adopt #RankedChoiceVoting to mitigate polarization and vote-splitting.

    Read the article: chicagotribune.com/2026/03/01/

    Did you know?: FairVote Illinois is advocating for ranked choice voting in Illinois? SB2004 is currently in the State Senate, which would allow Illinois municipalities (including Chicago) to adopt RCV if they choose to do so via referendum.

  13. Great happy hour last night in Oak Park! We wrote letters to our electeds in support of State Sens. Laura Murphy's, Robert Peters', and David Koehler's SB2004, the #RankedChoiceVoting "local option" bill for Illinois! Contact your Sens. at tinyurl.com/RCV4Illinois !

    Did you know? Oak Park, Illinois passed an #RCV referendum w/ 79% voting yes in Nov 2024? SB2004 is needed to quickly and smoothly implement the referendum in time for Oak Park's next municipal elections!

  14. A look at the state of elections in Illinois, and how #RankedChoiceVoting could fix it all.

    (The same concept applies to many states, and to Republican-leaning areas as well as Democratic ones.)

    Hey Illinois, contact your state senator and rep now and tell them to support SB2004!

  16. Great meeting about SB2004 with State Senator Laura Ellman of the 21st State Senate District (which covers much of Naperville, Lisle, Butterfield, Glen Ellyn, and Lombard)! Lots of positive energy around local RCV in our State Senate! We are working hard to add co-sponsors to SB2004 so that local IL municipalities can implement RCV referendums if they choose to do so!

  18. @pixelpusher220 Good comment, but HB965 is the National Popular Vote Compact, not #RCV. As far as I can tell, only HB630 is related to #rankedchoicevoting (unfortunately), and I don’t see it on any agenda, do you?

  19. #Virginia #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV

    All VA peeps, RCV is up for committee discussion TOMORROW.

    You can submit comments here: hodspeak.house.virginia.gov/su

    choose HB965 - Price

    My comment:

    Ranked Choice Voting should be adopted. It provides the mechanism to allow a true majority to elect our leaders. Run-off elections are expensive, time consuming and significantly under represent the voting public.

    Rarely do we find something that is definitively better at it's purpose that's also simpler and cheaper. And when the conditions aren't met, i.e. just two candidates, functions like the status quo.

    Everyone has done ranked choice voting in their lives. "If they have a chicken salad get that, but if not get me a burger".

    On top of all that, it encourages candidates to reach outside of their party or base. Being 70% of the voters 2nd choice easily wins a closely divided election.

    And even better, gives independent candidates a real shot at winning allowing voters to reject both major parties.

    RCV is really a win win win scenario. It makes a majority of people have voted for the winner, without the cost and negative properties of run-off elections. We need the public to be invested in it's elected leadership, and the current two party (in all but name) oligarchy system is falling apart.

    Please support Ranked Choice Voting.

  20. @ZackPolanski
    W/o #RankedChoiceVoting #IRV, you simply can't have more than two parties without being a spoiler.

    No one loves supporting the "Green" Party more than #Republicans.

  22. HAPPY HOUR last night in Oak Park! We're ready for better elections with #RankedChoiceVoting in Illinois! Oak Parkers passed a ranked choice voting referendum in 2024 with 79% support. Lots of love for democracy here!

  23. City election day in Minneapolis. I picked three DFLers (out of many) for mayor on the ranked choice ballot. I was tempted to waste my 3rd choice on some guy named Wagner representing the "Why not Wagner" party. Because it made me chuckle. But I went to his website, and it wouldn't load. So that's why not Wagner. That's why not.

    It means #RankedChoiceVoting is scary af for #VichyDemocrats who will do anything to keep their #Corporate sponsors happy & hire PIOs to spin it as a win for working people
