Can we all agree to look up a local third party candidate and mention their name to someone you know who is also local?
I like ballotpedia.org but am very open to other resources or suggestions for how to get good info. Honestly half the reason I'm posting this is to start a solid thread of resources.
Whatever other affiliations or beliefs you have, I'm pretty sure we can all agree that we're not getting them out by starting at a national level. We need to get people back into talking about politics that don't involve Trump or Biden and people suck and are also just very depressed right now so we need to make it easy.
So today's social health challenge is to find a local candidate to start namedropping online or in person at least once or twice a week for the next six months. Encourage others to do the same. Get people talking about literally anyone third party. I don't even care if they're even actually a good candidate or whatever just stop letting them make the conversation about Trump and Biden!
I'd much rather spend my energy doing something useful like talking to them about the importance of pushing for ranked choice voting.
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) or literally any other preference voting system has mathematically and demonstrably better outcomes than the First Past the Post system most of the US uses today.
If We the People want to keep having a democratic republic that even remotely represents us, we need to keep fighting for better access to voting rights, fair districting, and improved voting systems like RCV.
