The Wonders (and Challenges) of Ranked Choice Voting Ranked choice voting has a whole host of quirks to adapt to. Candidates who understand this will perform better.

Rose had a good article breaking down some of the pitfalls of RCV. I recommend Minneapolis folks giving it a read.

But is there any other candidate thats going to enter the race at this point?

Do you think there is a another candidate waiting in the wings? What do you want him to do with the money he's raised?

It is very weird to follow the platner conversation on both sites and see the different takes

Wtf did I do to Archie

It's also true politics dont pay in maine. So the bench is made up of attorney general, secretary of state, governor, and head of state cdc (who was paid the most)

I think there is a general 2010s nostalgia that millennials will become obsessed with.

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

I feel like only way platner wins is by defeating Mills in primary.

It is without question that the National Labor Relations Board has transformed itself under Ronald Reagan into an active and conscious proponent of the destruction of labor unions, of American industrial democracy, and ultimately, of workers' rights and prosperity. Not only has labor law failed, labor law as administered by the National Labor Relations Board has become an active factor in the destruction of the rights of ordinary working men and women. It has become a conscious weapon in the hands of the special interests. No amount of parsing of Board decisions or suggestions for administrative reform will change this. The day has long past for such quibbles.

apropos of the SpaceX case: here's a 1987 argument from Richard Trumka, then-President of UMWA, on why labor law had failed and the NLRB had turned into a trap.

i still don't know whether i fully endorse it, but it's a read that'll stick with you. researchrepository.wvu.edu/cgi/viewcont...

It's 27 votes now btw. 25 npc / 2 ydsa chairs

Gw 5, smc 4, carnation 1, bnr 3
Rnr has 2 votes and will most likely be the swing.

Platform will now be replaced with workers deserve more forever

But also the concept of modern citizenship didn't come about till much later.

Watchyu think of Sinners?

Does it change any of your prior opinions on 2024?

A better world is possible. Join the movement! #dsa

Okay but where can I get recipe without signing up.

I guess what I mean is I'm not sure if Zarrow and Ali coendorsed each other it would have mattered... but maybe.

Atleast for dsa I still think it's better for us to only endorse one candidate in rcv elections.

My reading is the co-endorsement worked partly because zohran was the only one in striking distance of Cuomo according to polls. The fact zohran was able to own the left lane probably has a lot to do with dsa giving the important boost rather than left infighting.

I just gave to Twin Cities DSA! Show your support with a contribution.

I can put links into the first post here. This is the blue sky freedom.

Heading to convention need help covering the costs for me and a couple of delegates. We got swag to sell ya in exchange. Please consider a donation.

Rose release the article

Links didn't work yesterday. They should be working now.

I would really appreciate signatures because I think these are important conversations to have.

2nd one is about the 1m1v fed endorsement. It narrows it down to presidential and requires a npc majority to initiate. If dsa really wants to bootstrap a candidate for president then we need a way to engage members throughout the org.

First we got administrative over political an amendment to 50 state resolution. The original resolution has a why not both approach but I think it's worth having a discussion about the utility of statewide chapters vs statewide formations.

Alright I got two amendments looking for signatures. Amendments are how we allow nuance into convention it would be great if you help me get these onto the agenda.

New York Is Not a Democracy Could ranked-choice voting help Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo?

Okay now you got to incorporate some sort of response to this. Does rcv count as democracy.
