They always have people lined up to take the fall. And those people are almost always from marginalized communities.
It is very telling who the DFL is willing to throw under the bus and who they’re willing to protect.
And let me be clear: the people paying the price for this investigation are not the wealthy, white and powerful, like Hylden, Frey and Rice.
Working class East African folks will ultimately be punished for these horrible actions by the conservative and rich few.
Gerrymandering is so extreme that there’s now a district that looks like every letter of the alphabet. They really took great pains to choose/eliminate voters. Both parties do it. Graphic from the awesome folks at @representus. ⬆️🇺🇸
@AllLeahWrote Oh definitely! It was a great game but I would need to download a sim and all that and haven't had the drive to go through that ordeal yet.
I have my eyes on Symphony of War on steam though. Looks a lot like the same style.
@maybe_robots If any political party launches with a policy platform ready-to-go, I’m immediately suspicious.
Who can legitimately make such decisions before a new political party is incorporated? Before their members have even gotten a chance to meet each other?
That criticism is pure BS
If we took the trillions of dollars a year we're spending on the downstream effects of poverty and chronic economic insecurity, and instead invested it upstream in basic income, we'd prevent poverty instead of treat it, all of society would be better off, and democracy would too.
#RankedChoiceVoting isn’t left or right - there are instances where it helps/hurts different party’s candidates. It simply helps people express their preferences better.
Election reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting & #OpenPrimaries don't save us by themselves. They give us the tools to save ourselves by reflecting our true will.
Early results are in: election reform proves, even in the reddest of red states, that the will of the voters is sanity.
I don’t think the people register with major parties are malicious. I do think that the leadership of @TheDemocrats & @GOP have been taking advantage of the people and are acting out of malicious intentions for power & disregard for those they represent. #Election2022#politics
