"Dems rage over Fetterman's DHS vote"

our #duopoly is so dumb. there's a good chance that lots of seats wouldn't be Dem or GOP if not for the candidate with views outside the party norm that could win there. but maybe that's bullshit. we know these complaints will never end and neither will the dumb political media conversation until "weird" candidates are no longer forced to choose a side (with all the baggage that entails) to have a chance to represent their constituents.

Santa Monica should ditch its plurality at-large council elections and come into compliance with the California Voting Rights Act. But winner-take-all district elections aren't the only possible solution. Proportional #RankedChoiceVoting gives minority groups of all kinds the best opportunity to elect representatives of their choice, avoids spoilers and wasted votes, and ensures the large majority of voters actually get to choose a winner.

"Without a clear frontrunner, there is a real possibility that the Democratic vote will be split across too many candidates, sending two Republicans to the general election in a state that usually votes about 60% Democratic. ... In California, [#RankedChoiceVoting ] would likely make space for Democrats and Republicans in the general election for governor, and could allow independents and third-party candidates to advance as well. RCV, like Alaska uses, allows voters to choose from several candidates, and still identify a winner with broad support."

It's election season, so here's a thought experiment. Imagine if you could just vote for the person you liked the most, even if they were a fringe candidate with little chance of winning. And you didn't care because, if they lost, you had a second choice vote. And if they didn't win, your third choice probably would.

Imagine an election where the candidates needed to appeal to as many voters as they could. Wouldn't that be nice?
