I remember going to the Electronic Boutique with my friend Karl to pick up a new copy of Chrono Trigger. Great memories.

>However republicans calling for his resignation is the pot calling the kettle black.
I'm a Democrat who thinks he should resign, and I don't want to hear a goddamn word about this from any Republican who has not disavowed Trump.

The mandalorian already had some of that, though.

Fully support what you are doing. The fact that the childcare tax credit was not renewed is arguably the biggest fumble of the previous congress. And as you said, childcare is literally a market failure. It needs subsidy or something.

MOH is advocating for a state law that would allow municipalities to use RCV in their own elections. That's step 1, and probably the most difficult lift. Step 2 is getting municipalities like Philly to change their own laws to use RCV.

I agree with a lot of what you said. RCV is where the momentum is, and that's largely why I personally support it.

We have a lot of work to do to win over certain legislators here, but I think the wind is at RCV's back, across the country.

I think there's various ways of dealing with that, and different election systems do different things. I believe in Australia, if you don't rank all candidates, your ballot is voided.

This session will contain both educational content and actions steps! As an overview of what you can help with right now:
-
You can sign up to volunteer for the campaign at https://www.mohpa.org/rcv - we need people to work on social media, outreach, write letters to the editor, meet with legislators, research policy, etc.
-
You can contact your state rep and senator to let them know that you support RCV - the biggest thing we hear when we meet with legislators is that “their constituents have never brought it up.” But a lot of legislators have expressed interest in RCV in general. We have a bill written, we have a couple potential co-sponsors, and we are in the process of meeting with every state representative and legislator.
