With less than two weeks until the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle, CNN has released additional details on the parameters agreed upon by the Trump and Biden campaigns.
We’ve got 4 years to work on that. We have to hammer the primaries and the mid terms and get more people active in trying to get STAR voting or ranked choice, or pretty much anything except FPTP.
Canvas for your dog catcher and every other piddly position that gets elected. Don’t wait to fall in love. Vote for the furthest left that can win any given election and keep pushing left.
I’m strongly considering running for my state House or Senate seat, since neither is contested in my district. I’ll need help canvassing for signatures, but hopefully it gets people to notice third parties.
My platform is basically:
any alternative to FPTP (prefer STAR or approval) - we tried RCV, and that didn’t seem to go anywhere, but at least people have heard of it
anti-war - includes foreign aid to aggressors like Israel
pro-immigration - I like the idea of citizens vouching for immigrants, and being responsible for any crimes they commit instead of the current quota system
anti-censorship in any form
pro-privacy
strict fiscal conservative - no unfunded liabilities, no deficits
anti-monopolies
I have opinions on the rest of the common issues, but I’m willing to budge on most of them to get a nomination.
I’m registered Libertarian, but I’m willing to run on any ticket that’ll help me get signatures. I don’t expect (or even want) to win, I just hate uncontested seats.
If you’re in a similar area, I highly recommend you do likewise.

Where is it you’ve tried RCV? We have it at the state level in Maine and it seems to me to work pretty well.
Utah allows cities to opt-in to RCV for nonpartisan positions.
