Have higher standards, demand to have real options in the voting booth.

Electoral reform is not just for leftists looking for their first taste of representation in government. Across the political spectrum, we all deserve to have a real choice on how to best run this country.

Give republicans the chance to get off this stupid fucking circus carousel by letting them vote outside the two party system with no risk of a spoiler effect. The cracks are showing, set these people free from this walking corpse of a political party. Us too, thanks.

    If people are interested in trying to make a difference on this front, you can. I’m working with a group of people to enact ranked choice voting in our city. If you can get it passed at a local level, that’ll pave the way for familiarity with higher levels of government down the line.

      Some states are pretty authoritarian and stop cities from doing anything good. Some states have banned rank-choice voting. But yeah, where this is possible, it’s definitely a path forward.
