4) Build more trust and engagement between national funders, campaign consultants, and grassroots leaders.

5) Take the fight to our opponents.

A detailed report will be coming from the Open Primaries team early 2025. You can read their full letter here:

Other goals for 2025/2026 include:

2) Attract more investment for early stage voter education and leadership development.

3) Use defense, litigation and legislation campaigns to build the foundation of our movement.

"This is not an argument for a rigid or antagonistic divorce. What we should not do is combine them in ways that are forced or premature, particularly for a state-wide campaign."

"Combining open primaries with ranked choice voting weighed down ballot referendums in Colorado and Idaho and even bled over into states that did not combine them, like Arizona and South Dakota."

(I would add that it weighed down Montana, as well)

"But the dominant culture within the reform movement for the past 6 years has been that combining open primaries with RCV is the gold standard. The victory in Alaska in 2020 reinforced this. This has created distortions that should be unraveled."

"The two reforms have different constituencies, different opponents, different political/social histories, and are at very different points in their journeys towards public understanding and acceptance."

I'm the Executive Director of RCV Montana. I'm abandoning RCV... because we can do better.

I think that the duopoly masks the fact that liberalism is at the center of conservatism and progressivism; and at the center between authoritarianism and libertarianism. I think the two major parties and voters struggle to find a political home when this larger spectrum tries to become a binary.

Interesting AND educational. 🙏🏼

How thoughtful of you to engage. Thank you for clicking & informing me that you found the ideas to be uninteresting/stupid/uneducational/potentially dangerous...in tacit good faith. No doubt you have better things to do (like read uninteresting studies) than gracing us w/ another interesting reply.

Cybercriminals also use the telephone, electricity, lightbulbs, automobiles, the interwebs, refrigerators, post on Bluesky, and carry dimes, and quarters.

Which positions do you find stupid and potentially dangerous?
