Another reason to support @RankTheVoteDC Candidates winning with 23% of the vote have no mandate.

Since my tweets are now being judged based on my outfit I figured it was time to update my pic to my latest power suit. 😘 #NewProfilePic

@joeatlarge Allen doesn't have the power to be this vindictive - this is literally what the mayor does lol.

[Miguel Trindade Deramo, ANC @miguelforDC]

Today, joined by more than 50 fellow Commissioners, I sent a letter calling on the @councilofdc to reject the #InitiativeAmendmentAct as an attack on democracy… in a town that enjoys too little democracy as it is.

Write to your councilmember today. 🗣️

I oppose the bill to limit DC ballot initiatives.

You can make up a cost for nearly any initiative — and exaggerated costs are used to block change all the time.

DC residents already have a limited voice on the federal level. We need to protect our local democratic rights.

Philip Pannell always cutting through the BS and standing in the face of the powerful, often 20 years ahead of his time. We appreciate you Philip!

@DeliaHouseal @AllVotesCountDC @WTUTeacher nope! it is like a normal law: subject to appropriations.

[Rank the Vote DC @RankTheVoteDC]

These two will STILL have the power - they just can't even fathom allowing us to use an extra tool to pressure them. So glad @AllVotesCountDC is building off of the (not novel) legacy of the late Liz Davis (@WTUTeacher) and making clear that the people can legally pass laws too.

[Alex Koma @AlexKomaDC]

Very interesting bill here from Phil Mendelson and Anita Bonds: It bars the elections board from approving any ballot initiative that could be passed "subject to appropriations."

That's in response to the structure of I83, on RCV/open primaries:

@tylermcscifi @RankTheVoteOhio oy. it seems like you disagree, which is fine. But it's a bit exhausting to demand a "logic proof" and not engaging w/ a reasonable theory that multiple people have shared. I think you can do the dot connecting too! if you don't think women are dismissed more than men, gahbless.

[Rank the Vote DC @RankTheVoteDC]

@tylermcscifi @RankTheVoteOhio the theory is that RCV changes the culture of politics by incentivizing coalition building and allowing a new discourse to emerge where people are not dismissed outright.

[Rank the Vote DC @RankTheVoteDC]

@tylermcscifi @RankTheVoteOhio no reason except the data
