  1. CW: #uspol California governer

    Not fully decided yet on my vote for California governor. The calmatters.org questionnaire tells me my candidates in order of preference are Porter, Steyer, Thurmond, Becerra. I'm not surprised at that ranking, although Porter's not as strong on the climate crisis as I would like and frankly, I think it's unlikely the Democratic candidate will be anyone other than Steyer or Becerra, so I'm inclined to vote for one of them... we need to ensure there's a non-Republican candidate -- which I'm pretty sure at this point there will be, but this is one of those elections where one can't be completely idealistic.

    Really wish we had ranked-choice voting. Ah well.

    I'm really not happy that Steyer's a billionaire and self-funding his campaign, but I actually prefer him over Becerra, who's a little too Democratic-establishment for me. Hmm.

    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

  9. @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)

  13. Zoom into Illinois. Sure seems like we're gonna go in this direction till we get #RankedChoiceVoting.

  14. Time to fill out the 8 pages of FPTP voting for various California and Los Angeles political offices, judgeships, education superintendents, etc as well as primaries for mayor and governor.

    California desperately needs to discover the magic of optional preferential voting. I have well over 50 named candidates for the governor primary, of which I can pick exactly one.

    Out of this hot mess there's a reasonable chance California voters could end up with a choice between two, and only two, MAGAty Republicans for governor in November.

    Just absurd.

    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.

  20. Everybody would switch to fedi if they knew everybody else would too. The value of having full control of your social media reach forever is obviously worth the cost of figuring it out once and paying the hosting costs.

    These educational and collective action problems are so frustrating. See #RankedChoiceVoting and #Medicare4All.
