Well they simply have gaps in regulation around elections. They tried to reform campaign finances with HR 1 For The People Act but it was never called for vote in the senate due to Senate Speaker Mitch “The Legislative Reaper” McConnell who was notorious for refusing to call things to vote.
One of the parties simply does not want to fix democracy.
The money gets spent on billboards, flags, yard signs, pamphlets, door to door outreach, renting out venues to campaign, etc.
Maybe they will start to realize the persistent election cycle is not a good thing. I would love to see a ban on all election campaigning until 90 days before said election but that wouldn’t get past a 1st amendment challenge.
Just do publicly funded elections, including things like publicly funded frequent small debates where the candidates had to appear as reasonably competent adults who could defend their ideas, and resurrect some of the regulations like the fairness doctrine and caps on media consolidation
The dogshit quality of the current election coverage is mostly a problem because it is the only type of coverage that is available. I think if there was a widely available and well funded type of election coverage that wasn’t this cash grab horse race ad supported bullshit, the bullshit would have to compete against it and would lose and improve as a result.
They’re going to, probably in every single red state.
They’re going to throw so much shit at the wall due to election ballot timing that unfortunately I think something will stick… it more than likely wont be legitimate, but we have way too many corrupt judges out there :(
I don’t think it’s a given that something will stick in a way that actually throws a wrench in the election. It would have to be in a swing state, the judge would have to be willing to become infamous around the world, and willing to ignore the precedent that generally political parties can choose candidates how they want and of course a nominee can decline the nomination.
They aren’t going to sue. They are going to start shooting. They’ve outright stated that. It’s crystal clear: they’ve said that the revolution would be “bloodless” only if the left “allowed” it to be. I really wanted to live long enough to build a family,.
While I believe the individual reasoning of most Democratic voters is flawed or inadequately nuanced, the reasoning does exist to much greater extent than the R cult.
Far more important is that the typical Democratic voter’s reasoning is now rooted in a sincere intent to choose what they believe is best for both themselves and anonymous others. The R cult correctly estimated the D cult’s propaganda: It alone couldn’t survive a change of candidate. The fact that the vast majority of Democratic voters would stay rooted in ideology never even occured to them.
Well done, average Democratic voter. If you want to stay engaged through midterms and the next cycle then know that the Green Party wet dream would be forced internal elections 2025 due to scaling. Take them over and they’ll welcome it. There’s very little national or state control over local chapters. They’ve a head start on local ballot access, legislative initiatives, communication of basic platform, logos, etc.
Winning a federal race doesn’t matter to people I’ve met there. The Green Party itself would be readily sacrificed for national RCV. But, the wet dream is definitely that enough people engage to attract a candidate of the quality of Sanders in his prime, then scale exponentially to break two-party dichotomy.
Fuck party loyalty. Use them as a tool when it makes sense to do so. Volunteer as a Democrat to work the polls. Always stay loyal to your principles, just as you’ve done now. Learn about the means of elections and seize control of them.
