you can’t just tell people “don’t rank jacob frey.” that is not helpful. who SHOULD they rank? be focused on solutions, not just negativity. you have to be for someone, not just against frey - ThreadSky

They're not gonna like it but these candidates gotta decide if they hate each other more than Jacob. If not, they gotta change the campaign paradigm and campaign together.

watching koski on wedge live now and the 3 majors are pretty united in their messaging / platforms even if it’s uncoordinated

itsthebrandi.bsky.social•25 days ago

They need to be in lockstep on that particular messaging about ranking each other.

They can do rank order in literature and their own campaigns. Shit, get some custom rank signs for each candidate.

Mutual endorsement aid 😭😭😭

I'm absolutely gonna exhaust my ballot if I can't find info on a second and third candidate beyond my preferred but if my preferred candidate is saying "this is *my* slate," over and over very early on...I believe them

panikadoc.bsky.social•25 days ago

This feels really necessary for Koski voters especially. I can see there being a lot of Koski-1 Frey-2 voters without coordination

taylr.bsky.social•25 days ago

i can see davis picking up 2nd choices from frey, koski and fateh tbh. like a path to victory here if they do it right

taylr.bsky.social•25 days ago

i think koski and frey campaigns are the most contentious right now and have the most infighting… the moderate fb group is basically those two camps going at each other, rarely talk of davis or even fateh in there

ericprindle.bsky.social•25 days ago

This is what they do in Australia, where they've been using RCV for a very long time.

taylr.bsky.social•25 days ago

just gotta do it sooner than day before election

idk how much unity some of these campaigns can have though tbh

itsthebrandi.bsky.social•25 days ago

Shit, they gotta do it sooner than the endorsing convention.

ericprindle.bsky.social•25 days ago

I don't know that every campaign or org will explicitly endorse three candidates. But I bet those that don't will leave a spot or two open rather than endorsing someone outside the top three opponents.

beukema.bsky.social•25 days ago

I spoke to Koski about this at an event in December. She indicated a hope to be more coordinated (I mentioned Sheila/Kate having waited too long). Since then, I’ve seen at least she & Fateh have done some photos together @ events. I hope they & Davis get even more explicit about it soon.

taylr.bsky.social•25 days ago

it’s gonna be tough to get davis and koski team together tbh

thatbaba.bsky.social•25 days ago

Can you say more about that? I get it if you don't want to. Just curious because I too have noticed Fatah and Koski appearing in a lot of places together and seeming to have a good relationship, which I think is really great and led to me donating to both of them. Is the Davis team not on board?

ruby613.bsky.social•25 days ago

as someone very involved in Sheila's campaign in 2021 i feel like this message really let people cop out of making a decision in a way that was... not effective!!

ruby613.bsky.social•25 days ago

like we actually did try this! i don't think it worked!

taylr.bsky.social•25 days ago

yep :/ it was definitely a weird year with a lot going on but i also question how effective “don’t rank frey” really is on its own after that

dbrauer.bsky.social•25 days ago

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but getting specific about who to rank risks undermining a unified front (trying to band supporters of different candidates together). For example, if I say “rank Davis, Koski & Fateh” do I lose Hampton 2nds I need? Or should I say rank 3 of these 4?

taylr.bsky.social•25 days ago

i don’t mean getting into the weeds with RCV like that, context is frey just tweeted he’s running so there’s QRTs like “don’t rank this guy!” but not mentioning who other candidates are. frey running again now reaching non political twitter because of this so listing opponents would be helpful

ericprindle.bsky.social•25 days ago

After the Hampton launch, I can understand people feeling like the field isn't settled yet. But once it is, I expect all the varying-shades-of-progressive orgs and influencers will converge behind no more than three candidates. And honestly it'll probably be the original three.

goingonawalk.bsky.social•25 days ago

We’re still a ways out and I think as we get closer it will become more important to get into specific rankings, seems less important now. For me, every time I get into specifics I will add a disclaimer not to rank Frey.
