@elonmusk The speed at which we just ended up at straight blood and soil nationalism is coo-coo for cocopuffs

@Vibutler_ Because those things aren’t the fun part of getting to claim god and the accompanying moral authority to do whatever you want. Smear the queer is only fun if god says it’s cool, otherwise empathy and other annoying lib shit kinda ruins it. Oh, and poor people are icky, duh

Why is “making things Christian again” always about abortion and gay rights and not feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and healing the sick?

@That_Nkurunziza I understand that people have their own faiths and fully respect that, but it’s so weird to me that the opinions of one more or less random person can impact the rights and freedoms of people around the world. Like can we all just relax please and mind our own business.

🗳️ Ranked Choice Voting could be on the ballot in Michigan — if we collect enough signatures. MLive just published a great article breaking down the campaign to bring RCV to voters across the state. We need to gather at least 446,000 valid signatures to give Michiganders the chance to vote for a fairer, more representative election system. This is a huge moment — and we can’t do it without you. 📖 Read the full article: 👉 mlive.com/politics/2025/… 💪 Ready to help us get on the ballot?

@J83310935 @BetterBallotGa The example was for a 3 way race for sake of communicating the basic idea. I would also argue if a candidate has the fewest first place votes then basically by definition they are not the consensus candidate.

@BetterBallotGa This isn't correct, unfortunately. Your vote won't apply to your second ranked candidate if they have already been eliminated. Your second favorite may have actually been the consensus winner, but can still be eliminated by RCV for not getting enough first-preference votes.

I voted today in GA for the PSC primary. One candidate had been DQ’d after early voting had started. Any votes cast for him will not be counted. If Georgia had RCV/IRV, those voters would still (potentially) have a say in this election. @BetterBallotGa

This fall, local elections in #Georgia will decide more than just city council seats and mayors. They’ll help determine whether voters get a say in how our democracy works. That’s why we’ll SOON be launching our 2025 Voter #RCV Guide – not just as a resource, but as a roadmap.

But how do you determine who is a citizen if you don’t have due process to verify the accusation? Can the government just tell a citizen you aren’t a citizen so no due process? I thought the Citadel would teach Constitutional rights better than this.
Nancy Mace@NancyMace

Due process is for citizens.

Council President Kyle Herman 🇺🇸🗽
I got to hang out with former Georgia State Rep @Scot23 at @RepresentUs#ADS2025 and thank him for testifying against Ohio’s #RankedChoiceVoting Ban Bill. It’s good that some #Ohio cities use runoffs to uphold majority rule, but we’d all be better off with #RCV #InstantRunoffs!

FairVote@fairvote

Runoffs are supposed to ensure election winners are supported by more than 50% of voters. But, most voters don't end up getting a real say in the final outcome. All at a cost of millions of tax dollars. @RHHutchinson12 explains the issue & how #RankedChoiceVoting helps fix it.

@Marsgemini999 @jonfavs They didn’t! Even IF they did, the executive branch doesn’t get to send you to a foreign prison without due process because they feel like it. Funny how “the law” is only something you care about enforcing against brown people and not our own fucking government
