I have zero sympathy for democrats who shed crocodile tears about the spoiler effect of Cornel West but don't also vocalize support of Ranked Choice Voting or Star Voting, which would mostly fix the spoiler effect once and for all.

How dare these democrats whine about a serious problem with our election system without simultaneously working to fix it? (Maybe because they profit from their duopolistic power, hmm?)

RCV and Star Voting in the presidential elections is 100% compatible with the US Constitution. The National Popular Vote folks have been working on this for a long time. Many states are already signed up. Let's get this done!

Like poverty, the two party system is NOT a fact of life. It is a human caused problem and it can fixed by humans.

This is the outcome of #gerrymanders and even speaks to a need for a #NationalPopularVote. Rural areas have far too much sway in #elections given their lack of population density.

Michigan House Elections Committee advances national popular vote legislation

Michigan’s Democratic-led House Elections Committee voted 6-2 along party lines Tuesday to advance legislation that would commit the state to awarding its electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.

Great news, the #NationalPopularVote is now law in yet another state: #Minnesota! Slow and steady progress toward a fairer and more representative democracy. https://myemail.constantcontact.com/National-Popular-Vote-signed-into-law-in-Minnesota.html #NPVIC #ElectoralCollege

I expect that, like last time, I'll be voting for someone else in the primary and Biden in the general. Since I live in Oregon, neither of these votes will matter -- in the strong sense in the primary, since the race will have already been decided, and in the weak sense in the general, because Oregon will definitely go to the Democrat.

The first problem could be fixed by having everyone vote at once or at least randomizing the order. The second could be fixed by a national popular vote.

Support builds for Michigan to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. I hope this happens.

An effort in Lansing could change the way the #ElectoralCollege operates. A bill introduced in the #Michigan House of Reps would have the state join the #NationalPopularVote Interstate Compact. The compact is a group of states that has committed to give their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popula vote.

If you would like to see presidential elections decided by popular vote rather than the electoral college, please consider contacting your state's congressional representatives here: https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/ There's a good explainer on the website. The National Popular Vote initiative would hand voting power back to us, the people. #NationalPopularVote #election #PresidentalElection #ElectoralCollege

The National Popular Vote compact has passed house and senate committees in Minnesota!

https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/state/mn

If you live in Minnesota, please urge your legislators to pass the bill:

If Minnesota joins, we'll have 205/270 = 76% of the electoral votes required for the compact to take effect!

"According to experts, Minnesota’s new congressional map is more biased in favor of Republicans than the maps in Kentucky, Kansas and Mississippi"

15 states and DC have signed on to the national popular vote (NPV) interstate compact, agreeing to cast their votes for the winner of the national popular vote. Only 75 more electoral votes needed for implementation; then, the winner of the national popular vote will be guaranteed to win the White House. No more second place winners.#nationalpopularvote

With National Popular Vote, every vote in every state in every presidential election will be equal and politically relevant.#nationalpopularvote

The disgraced, twice-impeached, two-time popular vote LOSER called for the termination of the Constitution’s rules regarding elections to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. I’ll go along with that — the Electoral College should be abolished, and we should go with the #NationalPopularVote. Now, about 2016 and 2020…
