Three ideas worth discussing: proportional electoral college votes, truly open primaries, and ranked choice voting. They’re hotly contested, and some states are banning them. I think the conversation is worth having. #ElectoralReform #RankedChoiceVoting

For me, local races are where my vote matters most. More of those offices are competitive. If you feel your vote doesn’t count in the big races, don’t skip the local ones. #LocalElections #Vote

34% o f vo ters identify as moderate. In my opinion, they have little voice as both parties move away from the middle. I’m not saying moderates should rule, just that they should have a seat at the table. #Moderates #Independents

Only 14% of votes cast in 2024 US House races were truly meaningful, meaning they actually decided the outcome (Unite America Institute). That’s a big reason so many people feel their vote doesn’t count. #Elections #Voting

Of the ≈87M people (based on eligible voters) who didn’t vote in 2024, 35% said it was because they didn’t believe their vote mattered (Pew Research). That’s a lot of people who feel unheard. #Elections #CivicEngagement

I still vote because I see it as an obligation. But for President, US Senate, and Governor, I often feel my vote doesn’t matter. My state will go Republican no matter how I vote. As an independent, that really hits home. Anyone else feel this? #Voting #Independents

Leaders earn reputations through their actions over time. It appears nations do, too. A new Pew survey of more than 40,000 people across dozens of countries finds that China's image has improved while America's has declined, with China now viewed more favorably than the U.S. in much of the world. Reputations are never static. They're built—or diminished—one decision at a time. #Leadership #Management #CSuite #Brand #Marketing #LeadFromTheHeart

Seems that the majority of people in the US want the subsidies extended. #shutdown2025 #shutdown #ACA #listentothepeople

Un f'ing believable... the US President has just authorized the US Military to use "full force" against US citizens on US soil. That means they can shoot to kill. The worst part is that people are OK with this.

Excellent analysis!
Are American politicians Authentic Leaders? buff.ly/TKk2Baz

Seems that DJT has lost sight of the FACT that 50% of the country did not vote for him and don't like him. Protests now popping up or planned all across the country in solidarity with LA. Hoping for peaceful protests! #peaceful #protests #standup

Please stop referring to America as the United States!! I know it's the official name, but America is currently anything but. America is essentialy divided 50/50 with a grand canyon between the sides that is filled with hate. Thank you! #America #HateisWinning #Politics

Only read this article if you are open minded, and DON'T believe that Trump is the only one that can broker peace in the Ukraine. This is gotten the old gray cells churning. Might be a good thing for everyone. #Ukraine #Politics #peace #NATO #europe worldcrunch.com/world-affair…

Two thoughts! Lots of time, research, thinking, & angst. 1. The two party system no longer represents America. A large chunk of voters have no representation. 2. America will not survive as the United States. It will break apart similar to the USSR #poltics #dem #rep #ind

Am I the only one who thinks that the congressional branch of America's government is quickly becoming irrelevant? #politics #congressionalbranch #irrelevant #whataretheybeingpaidtodo #headinthesand #republicans #democrats #notofthepeople #usa #nolongerunitedstates #house #senate

Free speech... I'm not one for changing the names I use for things unless I believe there is a valid, in my own mind, reason. still Twitter, still Gulf of Mexico, still Mt Denali, always was the Delta Center, still Mile High Stadium, and on and on #oldandgrumpy #stubborn
