The two-party doom loop is tearing America apart. The solution? Strange as it may sound, more parties are the answer. #FusionVoting allows new parties that matter to form—creating incentives for cooperation, compromise & real democracy. Let’s fix the system, not abandon it. #ElectionReform

Fusion voting is legal in New York! ✅ The Working Families & Conservative parties can endorse candidates who align with their priorities—so voters can back leaders they believe in without sacrificing their values. 🗳️ #FusionVoting #ElectionReform @leedrutman.bsky.social @newamerica.org

The big parties and the Libertarians—they’re all interested. Fusion voting gives both sides an edge depending on the district. Stronger parties = a stronger democracy. #FusionVoting #ElectionReform @unitedkansas.bsky.social

Fusion voting: the political equivalent of 4/20. 🌿 Mix a little of this party, a little of that one, and suddenly things are a lot more chill—and a lot more democratic. Let's pass the ballot, not just the blunt. #FusionVoting #420

This is us, watching the two-party system spiral into chaos, election after election: 😵‍💫🔄

Our system forces voters into a rigid two-party structure, leaving moderates and independents without viable options and suppressing the voices of those seeking real representation. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We deserve better. We deserve fusion voting.

In the early US, fusion voting helped social movements gain power—most notably abolitionists. Parties like the Free Soil & Liberty Party used it to win seats, fueling their cause. It also gave rise to forgotten parties like the Anti-Monopoly & Silver Party. #FusionVoting #ElectionReform #ThirdParty

Fusion voting was a common electoral practice in the 19th century, allowing multiple parties to endorse the same candidate. This system enabled minor parties, particularly labor and progressive movements, to wield significant influence without the “spoiler effect.” 🗳️ #FusionVoting #ElectionReform

Don't cry over spoiling—fusion voting lets third parties matter without splitting the vote. More choices, more power, no regrets. 🗳️ #FusionVoting #ElectionReform #ThirdParty

#FusionVoting lets voters unite under common interests, giving minor parties real influence. Instead of splitting votes, they can back a major-party candidate who aligns with their views. This encourages coalition-building and makes every vote count. #ThirdParty #ElectionReform @dansally.bsky.social

Fusion voting allows a candidate to be nominated by multiple parties—so a center-right candidate in Kansas could run under both the GOP and a new moderate party. Once common in the U.S., it's now banned in most states since major parties saw it as a threat. #ElectionReform #FusionVoting #ThirdParty

Fusion voting wasn’t just a policy—it was a tool for change. In the 19th century, abolitionists used it to build coalitions, win elections, and fight slavery. If it helped end one of history’s greatest injustices, imagine what it could do today. #FusionVoting #HistoryMatters

Voter disengagement is at an all-time high. Why? Our current voting system is leaving too many voices unheard. But there’s a better way! 🙌 #FusionVoting gives power back to the people, making elections more inclusive and meaningful. It’s time to reimagine how we vote! 🗳️

Former Kansas House Majority Leader @donhineman.bsky.social (R) backs fusion voting as a way for moderates to reclaim influence in a Trump-dominated GOP. Once home to pragmatists like Eisenhower, Kansas Republicans now feel politically homeless. Fusion voting would change that. @dansally.bsky.social

Congress is stuck in a gridlock, unable to deliver real change. 🚫 The problem? Our outdated voting system. But there’s hope! Reviving #FusionVoting is the solution we need to create a more representative government and get things DONE.

In the 1960 presidential race, New York’s electoral votes decided JFK's presidency. Likewise, FDR and Ronald Reagan secured New York’s electors by fusing with minor parties, whose vote totals exceeded the margin of victory. #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #FusionVoting

#ThirdParties struggle not because people don’t support them, but because the system is rigged against them. Our current voting rules limit choice and silence voices. #FusionVoting levels the playing field by letting smaller parties have a real impact—without 'spoiling' elections.

Former KS House Majority Leader @donhineman.bsky.social said implementing fusion voting in KS, which allows more than one party to nominate the same candidate, would broaden the perspective of a Republican Party that has grown quite intolerant of diverse views.

Fusion voting could’ve changed history. In 2000, Nader got 90K votes in Florida, tipping the race to Bush. In NY, fusion let 150K+ vote Gore under minor parties. If FL had fusion, just 35K shifting could’ve flipped the race. Imagine the last 25 years if it had. #FusionVoting #ElectionReform

Our current voting system fuels division by forcing us into one of only two rigid political parties. #FusionVoting unites us by allowing multiple parties to support the same candidate, bringing people together around aligned values. It’s a simple change that puts voters first! 🗳️💙

Great @jrdresden.bsky.social piece shows how anti-slavery forces used fusion voting and argues the strategy could today produce a different kind of party, one that could worry less about big money and focus on "building tight networks at the community level.” www.nationalaffairs.com/publications...
