Gerrymandering is everywhere in the news. But the real “fight for democracy” goes deeper.
In @IVN, Open Primaries President John Opdycke & SVP Jeremy Gruber explain why it’s about self-government — not partisan maps.

@MichaelRStrain If the enhanced subsidies expire, the premium for a family of four earning $75K per year will rise to $5,865 – which is $3,368 more than if they are extended. ... according to my calculations, avg annual US health-care spending per household is around $37K. Apples vs. Oranges?
@PaulRieckhoff@RepGolden 100%. With more and more Americans, choosing “none of the above,” when it comes to our dysfunctional and corrupt political parties, there’s never been a better time to declare your independence than today. Gen George Washington (our last Independent President) agrees!
"In a statement, Golden said he represents a district that is 'fiercely independent.'"
It's true. And Marine Corps vet @RepGolden sounds more and more like an independent every day.
This would be the perfect time for you to drop the D, declare your independence, run as an independent, and put Mainers ahead of party politics.
Air Force vet @RepDonBacon could do the same on the R side in Nebraska.
Together, you two could break the seal and inspire other Ds and Rs in Congress and beyond to have the courage to put people over party politics and do the same.
Give us a call. @IndyVetsAmerica is actively recruiting and standing by to help you leave the herds. And run with the pack.

@j_clem@PROreferees 100%. The first PK was questionable enough. The second PK was an absolute joke. If you were a referee and involved in the @stlCITYsc game tonight, you should turn in your badge because you are just as corrupt as any politician in the U.S.
@MattBakerSTL@stlCITYsc@MLS 100% - the only way I will ever watch another MLS game is if they acknowledge their mistake, and change the final score back to 2-2. The first PK was bad enough. The second was inexcusable. @MLS - make it right.
@stlCITYsc@postcereals@stlCITYsc played their hearts out and won the game tonight (or at least tied) if it wasn’t for corrupt, pathetic and inexcusable VAR / referees. A PK is a penalty of last resort, not something meant to be handed out like candy on Halloween. Shame on you @MLS …
@MLS What a joke. MLS referees, handing out PK‘s like candy on Halloween. @MLS. You lost another fan tonight and I’m never coming back. This is absolutely pathetic.
@MLS@MLS — are you seriously OK with letting your pathetic VAR hand two goals to Vancouver tonight? Wanna know why soccer is looked down upon in this country? It’s pathetic calls like tonight - handing the game to Vancouver on a platter. Terrible.
@TheLandOfOZ2@RepMGP@virginiafoxx Seriously? Helping a colleague used to be called being a good friend or neighbor. @RepMGP gets a lot of good sh*t done for our country. We need a lot more Representatives like her.
Our friends at @RankMIVote are working to bring #RankedChoiceVoting to #Michigan!
At VAV, we believe veterans—and all Americans—deserve real choices, not just the lesser of two evils. Join us in advocating for solutions that help achieve that goal: https://t.co/6T0wM8ZDzl
DC City Council - Do the right thing and fund I-83! You can't honestly claim to be "pro-democracy" and ignore the vote of 73% of your voters who want to see open-primaries & ranked-choice voting in DC. #LetUsVote#LetAllVotersVote @AllVotesCountDC @DrBronner@OperationVAV
My friend and fellow Veteran, @toddachilles is running for US Senate in Idaho as an Independent! I'm proud of you Todd, for taking this bold step -- Our country desperately needs more high integrity / low drama and Independent-minded leaders, like you. Onward!
I’m Todd Achilles, your Independent candidate for U.S. Senate here in Idaho. After stepping away from my role as your Democratic legislator for District 16, I’m done with the two-party system—it’s broken.
The only people who oppose solving the primary problem are partisan extremists and party insiders. @OperationVAV is honored to be fighting for ALL Voters (including Independent Veterans) to have full & fair voting rights!
Did you know that in 16 states, 17 million voters are prohibited from voting in taxpayer-funded primary elections?
This is the #PrimaryProblem — and @uniteamerica is working to solve it.
Because every eligible voter should be able to vote for any candidate, regardless of party, in every taxpayer-funded election.
Learn more about the #PrimaryProblem from our Executive Director, @NickTroiano on @CNN with @AudieCornish and here ➡️ https://t.co/OSWAP9YRh9
