    So, what changed?

    Support !rcv@ponder.cat if you want an alternative to the duopoly. It’s on the ballot in a lot of places coming up.

    If you’re not doing that, but you are choosing to vote for a spoiler candidate, you can anticipate a whole lot more duopoly in the future.

      Hey now, half the duopoly has another solution to the duopoly, but I’m not sure it’s what you had in mind…

      RCV would be great, most definitely. However:

      “But the defect that prevents independent presidential candidates West and De la Cruz from appearing on Georgia’s ballot does not pertain to the number of signatures acquired; it is that West’s electors and De la Cruz’s electors filed no nomination petitions at all,” Justice Sarah Warren wrote.

      There’s a process for ballot access, which includes the candidate’s electors filing paperwork. They didn’t. Counting votes for these two candidates’ would be allowing ballot access to a candidate who didn’t meet the prerequisites. This court ruling appears appropriate, based on information I have at hand.

    It’s Georgia, despite the weird media blitz in recent years it’s one of the most backwards, racist, incredibly fascist- sympathetic states out there. It’s Mississippi but with peaches. Of course they’d be anti democracy.
