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.

    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.

      Yeah, it can be really difficult if you live in that sort of place because I feel like making change locally is going to be a lot easier than tackling the state level immediately but I totally get that it’s not always an option.
