When we think of Congress being a check on the president, what we forget is that the founders didn't envision a political party duopoly. That's what makes our system so much weaker than it should be. A president dominates their party and can thus count on many in that body choosing to retain a key base of political support over challenging them to do what they think is right. FFV #RankedChoiceVoting would do so much to allow electeds to put the people's interests first and win reelection. #uspol

Last month, the Chicago Board of Elections polled Chicago residents about ranked choice voting. 71% of respondents supported implementing RCV for Chicago elections! Did you know: We're lobbying City Council to put a binding ranked choice voting referendum on Chicago's ballot in April 2026? Let's get more choices, Chicago!

Visit FairVoteIllinois.org/Chicago or click the link in bio to learn more!

Results from the Chicago Board of Elections poll showing 71% in support of ranked choice voting, 19% in opposition, and 10% neutral.

Do you want to improve democracy in the US?

In Michigan, the swingiest of swing states, this volunteer group is working to enact ranked choice voting. It will give voters more choices and help politicians be more accountable to voters.

They are a grassroots effort and could use our help. Printing petitions, lawyers for legal review, and even postage is expensive!

Please donate if you can.

A discussion about making lefty change in America. With the Dems or without them etc. I liked a lot of what #VivekChibber said, especially about using the Dems to break open the system to make other options more viable like #RankedChoiceVoting. But I don't see them letting that happen. #BadFaithPod

I still think we must focus on the "attention being controlled by the wealthy" problem. It's true in the mainstream but now also via corporate algos on social media.

@JuanWild
It really always comes down to "money", and as long as we allow money to drive our politics, nothing will ever change.

We can't (however) simply say "No private funding of elections". Does every bad candidate get as much funding as everyone else?

THE FIRST THING is to make #RankedChoiceVoting the law of the land (not just elections, but even in Congress.)

This would greatly mitigate the influence of BigMoney in politics, No more spoilers, and END the 2-party system.

Young people excited about democracy is 100% my jam!

but note:

npr.org/2024/06/05/nx-s1-49695

"Five states have banned #rankedChoiceVoting in the last two months, bringing the total number of #Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10"

we want 3rd parties

we want to vote our conscience rather than endless dreary strategy

we want #RCV

which we get how

by voting #democrat, and pushing them on the issue

rather than doing nothing but whining
