Thanks @capitolweekly.bsky.social for highlighting @prorepcoalition.bsky.social and #ProportionalRepresentation ! However you vote on #Prop50 its time for California to move on from our dysfunctional and dangerous two-party system and build something better. #democracy

Woke up today to the news

Standard time is fucking bullshit. I can't believe we're doing this again.

"One version of this proposal, albeit flawed, has already been filed, the Fair Representation Act, which would require each district to elect three to five representatives."

I'm curious what parts of the Act @andycraig.bsky.social thinks are flawed. (It the ranked choice voting bit?)

Want an end to the Gerrymandering Wars?

Embrace proportional representation.

@andycraig.bsky.social

Much like Global Thermal Nuclear War, the only way to win the gerrymandering race is not to play—meaning, eliminate all districts and move to a proportional representation system for the US House.

Democracy turning to autocracy? Violent armed masked thugs infesting your city?

GENERAL STRIKE might be right for you.

Talk to your coworkers and neighbors about trying GENERAL STRIKE today!

I love days when I wake up and learn some better functioning democracy is about to have a presidential election and the campaign has only been going for like a month and none of the candidates seem like psycho fascists and the leading candidate seems pretty good actually. Good job y'all.

Want to see more choices at the ballot box?

Support #ProportionalRepresentation.

I agree it is the best option on the ballot. But strongly disagree that people shouldn't be talking about change right now. Now is exactly when we should be talking about change.

Maybe so. But there's no shortage of left/progressive groups telling folks to vote Yes on Prop 50. I appreciate the few that are also saying this is a very stupid system and we can do so much better.

Headline of the year www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"[T]he 'winner-take-all' system used in most U.S. elections... contributes to polarization.... By contrast, proportional systems allow more voters to see their preferences reflected in Congress, can reduce partisan divides, and virtually eliminate gerrymandering."

Some folks on here really did seem to think he wouldn't sign #SB79 after the whole ordeal of getting it passed. lol

Excellent local reporting on what the attack on immigrants means for the Sacramento economy. www.abridged.org/news/immigra...

If the regime does go after DSA, the appropriate response will be for as many people as possible to become dues-paying members.

Politico is terrible. But Porter's behavior is very shitty here. Also tripping out on the people who are saying, "Who fucking cares? Trump is a rapist!" She's not Democratic nominee for anything. There are other choices and some probably have better judgement than to verbally abuse staff on camera.

I appreciate where Prop 50 is coming from, I personally will vote for it. But it really is NOT "proportional representation." If @cademocrats.bsky.social are really interested in #ProportionalRepresentation let's talk about how to do that! @prorepcoalition.bsky.social

Yikes. I knew her answer to that 40 percent question was bad, but this whole clip is horrendous. What is Porter's problem?

Wow, Johnson's response make Trump's insane nonsense so much worse.

Californians, stop talking about secession or independence. We're past that. Trump dumped us. We're already gone.
