    In a lawsuit that was engineered by Clear Choice PAC, a super PAC formed earlier this year by political allies of President Joseph Biden to combat independent candidates or third-party efforts that could threaten the Democratic ticket

    Fuck RFK and his brainworm-eaten maggoty brain, but keep in mind that Dems want to block any other choice. It’s why Bernie ran as a Dem and even then they still worked together to block him. I’m voting KH to prevent the asshole from getting the seat, but Dems are center-right, not Left. People have been brainwashed into thinking it’s normal to have a Left party that barely fights for them. Advocate for rank-choice voting and we’ll see a lot of Dems get replaced in the election that follows.

      Ranked choice is next, the time is ticking on this engineered Overton window. If we get that, we might actually join modern civilization instead of being corporate vassals in a trench coat.

        Imagine not having to sit around waiting for another inevitable corporate-backed coup to strip our voting rights away because we have a system strong enough to survive a couple billionaires posting endless lies on Twitter.

        After everything they’ve done to corrupt both parties through lobbyists, funding, and industry plants, it’s just a matter of time unless we fix our system to be more resilient against manipulation with things like ranked choice voting.

          The only way to prevent billionaires from jorkin’ the system, is to make sure the system can’t create billionaires. Tax the rich.
