If we could get some kind of ranked-choice voting in place then a 3rd-party candidate would have a legitimate chance here. Unfortunately there’s too much FUD about RCV making your vote “not count”. I’m in Colorado and it looks like we have a real chance of implementing something in the next few years, so I’m crossing my fingers…
JESUS CHRIST that shit frustrates me so much. First past the post is the very best way to make sure no ones votes count. There are way better systems than ranked choice voting, but if we can’t even get that much done, of course were not going to ask for those. All we are asking is to move off the very worst voting system there is
Head for the extreme northwest and northeast corners of the country; Alaska and Maine both use RCV, including for presidential elections. It’s not 50 states of RCV but it’s a start!
Biden has been putting some pressure on them as well, although it’s still too little. Maybe if he wins we’ll see him make real policy changes, but yeah it’s not very likely.
Well, the Libertarian Party (Chase Oliver’s party) doesn’t run a primary, it runs a national caucus. He was selected as the nominee by delegates, and if you felt so inclined, you could help choose your local delegates (or become one yourself).
Jill Stein also seems to be in favor of peace in Gaza, so she’s an option as well, though she likely has less ballot access (we’ll see come November).
can we get a candidate that doesn’t do genocide
Name one candidate that doesn’t support Israel?
Jill Stein, who Zionists predictably label a “self-hating Jew.”

Bush and Reagan were able to successfully pressure Israel despite both supporting the occupation.
Biden is a lifelong Zionist ideologue.

Beyond words that are “leaked” to the press, what exact pressure has Biden put on Israel?
Chase Oliver, and he’s probably on the ballot in your state already.
Our primary didn’t include any presidential candidates for some reason, so I’ll have to wait until November to see.

I’m not certain, but I think I’ve seen Stein on the ballot before. We usually have a pretty good list of all parties on the November ballots.
