Does @cnn realize that in 2016, U.S. voters wanted to #OpenTheDebates to all ballot-qualified candidates by a margin of 76% to 17%?
And that was before US “democracy” jumped the shark!
CNN announces June 27 Presidential Debate and rules for candidates to qualify:
1. “A candidate’s name must appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to [June 20].”
2. Candidates must “receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.”
Is CNN leaving the door open for RFK Jr. to qualify and participate?

We need to take on corporate crime, esp this kind:
The UN has released the latest list of companies supporting and profiting from the Israeli regime’s crimes in occupied Palestine. Among the complicit companies are AirBnB, Booking. Com, Expedia, Motorola, TripAdvisor, and 209 others identified by name. #Boycott #BDS

The Biden admin never accepted that the Geneva Conventions applied to the Palestinians.
Criminal.
Too few still don’t understand how “Israel has a right to defend itself” is effectively code for this.

Love it! As usual, @samhusseini is onto something.
Where are the duopoly whistleblowers who can save this republic from the predatory genocidal imperial duopoly in its 250th year?
At the recent Integrity Media conference, I had a brainstorm: “National security” whistleblowers are at the core but hard to come by.
What about kneecapping the system by exposing the duopoly more?
John Kiriakou: “That’s a great thought, Sam…”
Volunteer! Meeting tonight! Imagine having someone who thinks like this in Congress.

Texas Republicans tried to close their primaries through the courts. A federal judge hit pause.
Could Texas become the case that changes how far political parties can go to shut voters out of primaries?

Kevin Kiley says he’s done caucusing with Republicans, while a group of independent Senate candidates want to go even further.
They want to challenge the system that gives party leaders control over committee seats, gavels, and congressional power.
What happens if independents refuse to play by the caucus rules?

August saw this year's clearest example of why America needs ranked choice voting.
In the Dem primary for Wisconsin governor, 68k "zombie votes" went to withdrawn candidates. RCV would solve this problem.

Ranked choice voting addresses the spoiler problem head-on.
More candidates can run. Voters get more choice & a more powerful vote. Parties aren’t rewarded for playing games.

"Boosting third-party spoilers is a bipartisan sport."
Every cycle, Democrats and Republicans alike use third-party candidates as "spoilers," or to "siphon" votes from their opponents.
The solution? Ranked choice voting.

There's a real cost to the gerrymandering wars. Congress is less accountable, elections are harder to run, and voters are more frustrated.
The solution? Multi-member districts with proportional representation.

Voters deserve the chance to hear directly from the candidates, especially when so many feel that Albany has ignored our communities for decades.
That’s why I’m calling for three public debates to be held throughout the district.
