  1. @gimulnautti @heidilifeldman

    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.

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

    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.

    We need ranked choice voting in order to have a truly free and fair vote.

  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. 3 cities have passed RCV in IL, but implementation is stalled by legal uncertainty. In the meantime, State Senator Laura Murphy has introduced SB2004, legislation that would provide clarity to clerks in cities seeking to try out RCV for their local elections. Visit the link in bio to contact your state senator urging them to support SB2004 so that Illinois municipalities can implement RCV!

  19. How you know we should be doing #RCV for elections:

    republicans are trying to make it illegal.

    That means the oligarchs are scared of it.

  20. @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?
