To our credit, we don’t just “lecture” about democracy we defeat other countries in wars and then set them up with parliamentary systems. We just don’t take our own advice. https://t.co/mbDoDO6607

Despite being behind in Wisconsin Senate race polls, Olikara is forging ahead with great ideas and an enthusiasm that caught the attention of Yang. https://t.co/k0meaKb4qT

Manchin, and Yang and his followers, are working against the TEAM SPORTS framing that is the main thing bedeviling governing the U.S.(and which fed cable tv profits until social media took over)

I definitely support them in that vein. And I do think Yang's promotion of instituting ranked choice voting into as many races as possible IS a major solution!

Yang also didn't do that Great electorally. Might need a message more sophisticated than his to power a third party, although he could do it if he recruited Tulsi Gabbard to the fold.

Or maybe channel old Teddy Roosevelt, the last to do the third party thing right. Where is Wolraich when you need him?

In reply to I will fix this when I'm on

Just to note, we're not interested in "blocking" Yang - he can say what he wants. Fine to have more ideas knocking around, even if I critique.
