With the 2020 election coming up fast, the fight is on for a voting system we can trust. After 2016, state of PA admitted they couldn’t verify their election results. That’s why we demand nothing less than voter-verifiable, auditable paper ballots for all!

This is their nightmare scenario
It’s genuinely hilarious that this is their nightmare scenario. “Free hormones! Dept of TAXING THE RICH!”
Yes please. All of this.
So, what is ranked choice voting?
Against public outcry and expert warnings
Against public outcry & expert warnings, #Philadelphia is attempting to ram new voting machines down voters’ throats that CANNOT BE VERIFIED. That means if these machines are used in the 2020 election, there will be no way to know if the election results are true! #StopTheMachine
Between Citizens United, gerrymandering, mass voter purges, closed primaries…
Hunter Prado (via Twitter):
Factually, between Citizens United, gerrymandering, mass voter purges, closed primaries and that whole “living in a corrupt oligarchy that is forever shifting rightward” thing, your power as an individual American voter is severely limited. It is not however, non-existent.
As such I am baffled at why wealthy donors, the corporate media and bougie professional class liberals so casually insist the labor class voter completely surrender that tiny bit of power & influence by pledging to vote for whichever stiff the Dem Party forces on them in advance.
In a turn of events that should come as a total surprise (to no one)
In a turn of events that should come as a total surprise (to no one), it looks like Working Families Party’s endorsement of Elizabeth Warren was a straight pay-for-play deal.
Elizabeth Warren’s daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, is Chairwoman of Demos, a liberal think tank.
Per Demos’ 2018 tax filing, they gave $45,000 to the Working Families Party. This was the first year Demos gave anything to WFP.

If Liz Warren answers a question on Yemen and can’t decry selling weapons
If Liz Warren answers a question on Yemen and can’t decry selling weapons [to] the Saudis like Obama and Trump, then does that mean she’d continue to sell them weapons? Many liberals only cared about Yemen after Trump continued Obama’s policy there.

The politics of race relations have been a central part of Biden’s career
The Intercept:
The politics of race relations have been a central part of Biden’s career, from his high-profile opposition to busing to his authoring of the 1994 Biden Crime Bill. When he talks about his criminal justice record on the campaign trail, he argues today that the focus on the ’94 bill is unfair, because the real rise in mass incarceration happened at the state level and was long underway by then.
Biden is correct that the surge began in the 1970s and accelerated in the 1980s, but a closer look at his role reveals that it was Biden who was among the principal and earliest movers of the policy agenda that would become the war on drugs and mass incarceration, and he did so in the face of initial reluctance from none other than President Ronald Reagan.
