On the ballot in 19 states totalling 220 electoral college votes.

Who wants to tell them you need 270 to win?

In case others need to hear this, please don’t vote third party. Even to start a revolution or whatever. It’s an incredibly privileged position to be able to endanger LGBTQ, immigrants, and women’s rights because you want to send a message. Vote Dem and back ranked choice or you may get the revolution the other way.

It's an incredibly privledged position to intentionally decide to sacrifice Palestinians and support a genocidal regime, one that is failing to assist the rights of queer people, women, and immigrants, and one that is failing to adequately address climate change, and is working towards World War 3.

back ranked choice

  1. Would not fix the problem that candidates are filtered and preselected
  2. Will never pass at meaningful numbers
  3. Neither party wants RCV

Tanked choice was passed in Maine and elsewhere. Many blue states are tying electoral votes to the nationwide popular vote to remove that stupid distribution. Primaries are open. Only one party is trying to make voting more accessible.

As for Palestine, if you don’t subscribe to the lesser of two evils then I guess there isn’t much to talk about but don’t let the Nirvana fallacy blind you too much.

Like I said, it's kept as a carrot yet isn't sufficient and won't impact anything.

The GOP and DNC are 100% aligned on Israel.
