  1. @GhostOnTheHalfShell Most state legislatures will *never* pass #RankedChoiceVoting. But do you know what *else* would castrate #USpol ‘party machines’ that virtually *guarantee* re-election of incumbents in #gerrymandered (by the party machines) #Congressional districts?

    #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting has a similar impact as RCV but you can do it now in all 50 states!

    #Resist intelligently!

  3. @paninid Well, it’s ‘memory holed’ in print - in the #Constitution.

    I know that (most) #Americans can *read* the Constitution. But they need to learn how to *use* the Constitution to #resist #oligarchs and #fascism.

    #MATH guarantees that #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting will accomplish that.

  5. @paninid The #UnitedStates is NOT a ‘two-party system’!

    Read the #UnitedStates #Constitution. Political parties aren’t mentioned ONCE!

    You’d think #Americans of ALL people in the world 🌎 would know better than to fall for a ‘Jedi mind trick’ by #lobbyists. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting castrates the bastards. Just do it!

    C’mon, folks. This ain’t rocket 🚀 surgery!

    Use #MATH to #SaveAmerica.

  7. @OklaBot This ⬆️ news from #Oklahoma once again shows that #politicians, and more importantly their handlers (aka #Lobbyists ), do NOT want you to be politically #Independent.

    That tells you they fear #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting more than anything else. So…

    *Just do it!*

  9. @arrrg #Americans that understand #math and follow #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting cannot not be divided.

    Problem solved, *if* we want it to be solved. Thomas Jefferson was right, all political parties thrive on our division.

  11. One of the man benefits of #RankedBallotVoting is that we get to see the real support each candidate/party has without the bias of #StrategicVoting and voters can save their votes for the least evil for their second or subsequent choices.

  12. @Tengrain For the Constitutionally prescribed general elections, vote 🗳️ for the person you want to be your #USpol representative, regardless of party affiliation, if any. Duh.

    If enough patriotic #Americans follow the #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting the corrupt political parties will eventually shrivel up and die. 🙏 ✅

    Until that happy day, practitioners can celebrate #July4th with a different spelling!

  14. @AlisonCreekside @the5thColumnist
    The two swing ridings I checked both went Conservative

    What were the other results of “strategic” voting?

    Expecting individual voters to “vote strategically“ is a guaranteed win for the conservatives

    #StrategicVoting is a failed strategy

    A far easier way for two parties to defeat united conservative opponents in split ridings is the divide ridings up and have alternate candidates step down

  16. @HamonWry The #BananaRepublicans in the #MAGA #cult could've easily been removed after the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt if voters in the #UnitedStates understood the concept of #StrategicVoting and executed a #PrimaryFromTheCenter movement. But #UnitedStates standardized test scores in #MATH are among the lowest in developed countries. And they are lowest in 'red districts' of 'red states'. So here we are...🤷‍♂️

  18. Dear #Canadians, if you have last minute jitters about the #elections, I would like to suggest you relax and kick back and get sound advice from top political #satire @thejuicemedia about #strategicvoting & supporting #PR aka #proportionalrepresentation

    Best of luck #Canada!

  20. @TexasObserver #RankedChoiceVoting in #Texas would 'dethrone' #BananaRepublicans. But the #TXleg will never allow it.

    #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting would have the same effect - if people in Texas are smart enough to figure this out.

    #Resist intelligently.

  22. @adamvs1 Excellent resource. I am a proponent of #StrategicVoting when it comes to momentous elections, like this one.

    #NDP #StrategicVoting has the power to win this election

    Ideally there should be a way to demand recompense

    But #FirstPastThePost is the least changeable system of electoral government running 😫

  26. I completely disagree with the idea of #StrategicVoting, and even more so with candidates and parties *not* running to avoid vote splitting (and so denying their very own supporters a choice in the election).

    But I know the people in the interview (and the other cofounder) from other local social justice groups. They're sincere, and they think they're doing the right thing.

  28. @the5thColumnist Entirely by design by #dougford

    The longer Doug has time to put his foot in his mouth, the more votes OPC loses.
    The longer people have to review #Green, #NDP or #OLP platforms and do research, the more votes OPC lose.
    The longer people have time to think of, or are shown critical OPC failures and scandelous shenanigans, the more #votes OPC loses.
    And winter disenfranches non-conservative urban voters.
    The more people learn about #StrategicVoting the more votes OPC loses.

    “If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.” - Thomas Jefferson in 1789 and carved in marble at the Jefferson Memorial.

    Since parties are the source of organized #corruption in #USpol , by my #math 3 parties is worse than 2. 🤷🏻‍♂️ We need to get to zero!

    Until #RankedChoiceVoting can overcome the lobbyist industry, #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting effectively neuters *all* political parties! ✅ #USpol #resist

  32. @RichardJMurphy #RankedChoiceVoting takes most of the party-based #corruption out of #USpol. But not even #SantaClause can get that passed in red states.

    For the politically patient, the #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting will get the same results over a longer time period, but without needing any permission from #BananaRepublican state legislatures!
