Pro tip: If a politician says #ProportionalRepresentation is “too complicated,” it probably just means they’d lose under a fair system. #EndTheDuopoly

The legislature is supposed to represent us. Not lobbyists. Not donors. Not whoever wins a rigged district map. Just. Us. #ProportionalRepresentation is how we get there.

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...

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...

#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

"Amid rising polarization and widespread dissatisfaction with our political system, many have zeroed in on the 'primary problem,'... that too many elections are decided in low-turnout primaries dominated by unrepresentative partisan diehards." (1/2) www.rstreet.org/commentary/t...

Elections shouldn’t be about choosing the “lesser of two evils.” With #ProportionalRepresentation, you can vote for the candidates you truly support and know your voice will be heard. #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #FairSeats #MultipartyAmerica

A misgiving often heard about proportional representation as a proposed electoral reform is that legislators would do less well than now at providing constituent and casework services. @leedrutman.bsky.social offers his response.

In a two-party system, extremists can take power if they take over one of the parties. In a multi-party system, extremists are far more limited because they end up with a proportional number of seats and because moderate parties can exclude them. And #ProportionalRepresentation can get us there.

A two-party system becomes a one-party system all too easily. One party always has majority power, and they just need to change the rules to make it permanent. A multi-party system is much safer. No party ever gets majority power.

In a multi-party system, you need to play nicely with others to get anything done. In a winner-take-all system, you need to win majority power by any means necessary to get anything done. #ProRep #ProportionalRepresentation #EndTheDuopoly #EndPolarization #MultipartyAmerica #FairSeats
