Every state prohibiting RCV (yellow on map) is, unsurprisingly, a red state. They overtly want total control with as little pushback as possible from dissenting voices. More voting options lead to better government, Election Reform is how we get there.

A candidate for president needs an issue that can galvanize large portions of the populous. Anti-Trump isn't going to win, the same old rhetoric will not create excitement, and far left policies will alienate many key voters. What is an issue that can create this much needed energy come '26 and '28?

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

“Much as I might wish for a better party system, I’m operating with my values in the one that we have, not the one I wish we had. In a different system, I might think and feel differently. We all might. And that is precisely my point.” @leedrutman.bsky.social

This conflict needs more attention. Simply put, it could blow up into a major conflict with one wrong choice or a stupid decision. China borders them both, Russia has interest, as do the US (and we all know our leader will be impotent).
