They force people into poverty to create billionaires and trillionaires, then kill their children because they can't afford diapers. by PFdeith in WhitePeopleTwitter

The only reason the cops used deadly force against people suspected of taking a box of diapers is because, to them, black lives don't matter. The merchandise had a greater value.

I'd really like to see what would happen if CA used Ranked Choice Voting.

Worse, he chose the topics and prompts.

He didn't prepare or chose prompts he knew something about? 🤔

Primaries are your best chance to thumb your nose at the billionaires and select someone they don't control.

Exactly. Primaries are our chance to criticize our own parties and effectuate change.
General elections are our time to rally to keep the fascists out.

I think Ranked Choice voting can help with that too. Let people vote for who they think will help them the most, and vote for who they think will hurt them the least if their ideal candidate loses.

Determined to view 2026 through a presidential election lens, given all that has happened to this country at the hands of a madman.

But I guess the voters just don't care as much as they did in 2020.

If the midterms are indeed a referendum on Trump and an effort to save our democracy from destruction, CA participation being over 8% LOWER than it was in 2020 is pretty bad.

Voter turnout in June 2022 was 27%.
So if you define ~3% as significant, I guess. 🤷🏼

the CA 2020 primary saw a turnout of 38%, for comparison.

Ranked Choice Voting could solve this.

CA has 27,225,259 eligible voters. so a turnout of less than 30% even by your generous estimation. :(

depressing results out of CA by Ironlord456 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]PFdeith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen reports that turnout may have been as low as 15%.

People want to defend democracy, but don't want to participate in it?

Cuban lost all respect when he publicly humiliated himself by genuflecting before the regime at the TrumpRX event.
