The US naturally moved up the value chain away from manufacturing into technology and services which have bigger profit margins and better working conditions. The government shouldn't micromanage the economy by setting back this progress. www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

If California were a person, it would be young, diverse, progressive, creative—and absolutely nothing like its legislature. Let’s fix that. #ProportionalRepresentation #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly

If you really want to fight for democracy in America, you need to acknowledge that winner-take-all elections are really poor instruments of democracy. @fairvote.bsky.social is out with its Monopoly Politics report, and it's a must read. fairvote.org/report/monop...

Fusion and cross-party cooperation not only fueled anti-slavery momentum but also set the stage for the alliances that helped birth the GOP. Fusion voting shaped history. @jrdresden.bsky.social @protectdemocracy.org #FusionVoting #ElectionReform

Voting shouldn’t feel like choosing between a flat soda and a punch in the face. Give us real options. Give us #ProportionalRepresentation. #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #FairSeats #MultipartyAmerica (it's a no-brainer compared to Cthulhu)

Trump keeps testing the limits. His fellow Republicans keep giving him permission to inch deeper into the abyss of authoritarianism. Like authoritarians everywhere, he keeps heightening the conflicts to escalate the fight. leedrutman.substack.com/p/doomier-an...

“Why vote? It won’t matter.” You’re not wrong. That’s why we’re changing the rules. #ProportionalRepresentation = every vote counts, every voice matters. #ProRep #ElectoralReform #EndTheDuopoly #FairSeats #MultipartyAmerica

One of the great indignities of being an American voter is having to pretend that the solution to every political problem is the Democratic Party moving left or right. In a normal country, the Bulwark would have a center-left or center party, and we could have a left party. It’s long past time.

This isn't right even as a matter of literal definitions. Bribery requires quid pro quo. "Corruption" is not limited to bribery. It is corrupt to personally profit off your public office even if it's not direct bribery. Don't finger-wag about "terms matter" if you're going to misdefine said terms.

The California legislature doesn’t look like California. That’s not a glitch. That’s the system working exactly as designed. Let’s redesign it. #ProportionalRepresentation now. #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly

I can't think of a foreign policy more helpful to Russia than the one we have now: alienating us from allies, failing to deter Iran from nukes, failing to push Russia from Syria despite a golden opportunity, and refusing to sanction Russia for its war on Ukraine despite numerous "threats" to do so.

#ProportionalRepresentation is more democratic than winner-take-all, and the results bear it out. When more votes affect the results, voter turnout is higher and policies better reflect what the voters want. #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #MultipartyAmerica
