There is no automatic self-correction coming for us. To save our democracy, we must target the engine driving this destructive spiral—the binary party structure itself.
We need more parties. We need better parties. We need a new party system. It's that simple. Full stop.

Let's work together to enact party list proportional representation and fusion voting so Americans can have more choices, and escape two-party doom loop.

The US presidential election is one of the most consequential events in the world - and also among the most complicated. ERN is trying to change that with 'What Voters Need to Know About Presidential Elections.' bit.ly/4dWYNCK #presidentialelection2024 #voting #elections

Only 3%-5% of eligible voters effectively decided the U.S. House special elections in Rhode Island and Utah yesterday.
In these "safe" districts, the general elections are over before they even begin. Yet another example of the #PrimaryProblem in our politics.
Unite America@uniteamerica
Yesterday, Rhode Island & Utah held special primary elections to fill U.S. House vacancies. Because both districts are noncompetitive in the general election, these races have already effectively been decided. This exposes the #PrimaryProblem with our politics. Let’s unpack it⬇️

Nice work @ERN_Reformers @KevinJreformers for contributing to this @rconniff commentary: “Though no system is completely apolitical, scholars and good government advocates agree that merit selection is the best option for creating an independent and impartial judiciary…”

#Wisconsin once had nonpartisan, publicly financed #SupremeCourt elections. Those are long gone, and in her commentary, Editor @rconniff says it's time to turn back the big $$$ politics that have infected our highest court. @ERN_Reformers @wisdc wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/02/21/wis…
