And the fact that the economy has been turned into a cash cow for the rich can be traced back to the way in which our political institutions are overly sensitive to the interests of the rich, and under-sensitive to the interests of the non-rich. #FixDemocracyFirst
I first learned about #RankedChoiceVoting from Prof. Lawrence Lessig’s #FixDemocracyFirst campaign in 2015, and today I met @Lessig while representing @RankTheVoteOhio at the #AmericanDemocracySummit!
@jackcherney @AndrewYang Forward Party knows that Democracy is in peril. Policy decisions need thorough vetting to meet any particular challenge. The current problem is parties with unwavering, often extreme, policy positions. #FixDemocracyFirst
The right to vote is sacred and fundamental — and H.R. 1 is urgently needed to protect that right, to safeguard the integrity of our elections, and to repair and strengthen our democracy. I look forward to signing it into law after it has passed through the legislative process.

.@JoeBiden, 77% of voters say corruption in government is a top issue. Lobbyists write our laws, #gerrymandering rigs elections, and the revolving door is spinning faster than ever. Will you pledge to #FixDemocracyFirst? https://t.co/lp6sCom9vK via @RepresentUs
The root of the problem is not necessarily format. It’s that there‘s so much pressure on members of both parties to spend time fundraising that it takes time away from deeply studying and preparing for hearings.
If you want hearings to be better, get money out of politics.

Voting in America has never been truly representive in any of our lifetimes. Democracy Reform, on the local, state, and national level, is the first step towards any meaningful, actually democratic change. The effort below is specific to the Electoral College. #fixdemocracyfirst
BREAKING: We are launching a new campaign, Fix The College. The effort will convene Americans across the country in a first-of-its-kind deliberation to strategize about how to reform the Electoral College. (1/6) https://t.co/pjCe461LZ1
.@JoeBiden, Will you pledge to #FixDemocracyFirst? Including passing #RankedChoiceVoting and automatic voter registration? https://t.co/6yo9OORhdQ via @RepresentUs
It's not a #GOP or #DNC issue, if you care about the #USA, then start caring about our biggest issue: #EndCorruption in our government. #FixDemocracyFirst #ForThePeople #RepresentUs https://t.co/J8mwUM3Gpm

Fixing our broken/corrupt democracy is the Goliath that David's army of egalitarians must focus its slingshot on if we're ALL to advance in earnest. Otherwise we'll continue to face diminishing returns at a time when the clock is running out #FixDemocracyFirst
To my brothers and sisters in sports and arts. We have incredible influence in our community. We need to use this moment to demand change. I gotta be honest…I struggle with what to demand because so damn much needs to change. But I’m starting with our right to vote.

This is big! We @representus and @voteathome have BEEN calling for this! More safe, secure, cost-effective, and will move us from the bottom to the top of the list of peer nations for voter turnout! #VoteByMail #VotersFirst #UnrigTheSystem #FixDemocracyFirst
No voter should have to choose between exercising their right to vote and putting their health at risk. I just introduced legislation to protect voters and our elections against #COVID19 risks by mandating emergency #VoteByMail for all federal elections.
1 of several reasons why anyone who hasn't pledged to #FixDemocracyFirst doesn't deserve to be president. @BernieSanders, Republican @GovBillWeld & a record 15 other prez candidates made this pledge. @JoeBiden & @realDonaldTrump are the only 2 who haven't: https://t.co/61UuYQC8d5
6 hour lines in Texas last week
2-3 hour lines in Michigan & North Dakota today
This is no way to run an election
Thank you, @BernieSanders for being a #FixDemocracyFirst candidate. But where's @JoeBiden and @realDonaldTrump?!?
A record 17 presidential candidates have pledged to #FixDemocracyFirst. They remain the only 2 who haven't! Visit https://t.co/61UuYQTJBF for the full list!
At a time when Democrats correctly attack Republicans for voter suppression, to see voters standing in long lines for hours in Michigan and around America is an outrage. Election officials must address these problems immediately, and if necessary, keep polling places open longer.
So let me get this straight:
1)House Dems have pledged to #FixDemocracyFirst w/ passage of HR1
2)A record 17 prez candidates (including @BernieSanders) pledged to https://t.co/61UuYQTJBF
But @JoeBiden still hasn't?!? Joining @senatemajldr & @realDonaldTrump? Strange bedfellows!
One year after the House passage of H.R. 1, the #ForThePeople Act, Leader Mitch McConnell continues to block a vote on this critical legislation to restore ethics and transparency in government. Now, it’s time for action! https://t.co/YLwCk9MFss
Dear @JoeBiden—we'd love to vote for you if you join other Dems to #FixDemocracyFirst! Here's how to boost your platform: https://t.co/dhis45vqv0

An Obama alum/Warren Democrat/aspiring Biden Democrat
@KBeds @SymoneDSanders @StefFeldman @AndrewBatesNC @_gabriellabc
So @SenWarren is in a tough place, choosing btw a probable primary winner and his principled opponent. But remember: @JoeBiden is the only major Dem candidate NOT TO commit to making fundamental reform – what she calls anti-corruption reform – happen first. @SenSanders has.
