On election day, an election 🧵
@andycraig.bsky.social argues that institutional reform of congressional elections is necessary. Instead of the winner-take-all logic of gerrymandered single-member districts, he says, choose proportional representation.

Want to End the Gerrymandering Wars? Embrace Proportional Representation

When will America wake up and realize that Democratic Socialism is far superior to Cutthroat Capitalism?
Greed and competition are Neanderthal traits.
We need to evolve into our higher selves with compassion, cooperation, generosity, happiness, enlightenment, peace, & love as the prime directives.

My son was 1 when leaders gathered in Paris & pledged to keep warming BELOW 1.5C.
He’s now 11, & we’re spending our second year ABOVE 1.5C.
They’ve doomed all our children because preserving a suicidal economy is more important.

Blue states should find a way to hire the noble scientists from CDC and NIH and give them the chance to protect the public health where it is valued. The science doesn't just go away - we just need to give it a respected home.
