Hoping to hear thoughts from @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on #rankedchoicevoting today when he answers questions posed by his followers. Most ?s ask how can Dems better meet this moment more forcefully. They are good ?s, but let’s plan a long-term fix to extreme partisanship and gridlock.
What are your thoughts on Ranked Choice Voting (aka Instant-Runoff Voting) election system reform, which ensures winning candidates win with a majority of votes? To me, it’s the most within-reach change to fix our broken politics. I hope you agree and will come out & say so.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social I support this idea! Constant communication by our best communicator - some who who engages intelligently and thoughtfully no matter what the question or topic.
I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Just joined. Hi BlueSky! I’m more a reader/lurker, but when I do post, it’ll likely be about #rankedchoicevoting or @petebuttigieg.bsky.social - Preferably the intersection of these two quality reformers.
