It’s not a blue wave or a red wave.
It’s a wave of Americans fed up with partisanship, corruption and money in politics.
And it’s coming.
New Political Movement Aims to Unite America with National Slate of Independent Candidates https://ivn.us/2018/02/27/new-political-movement-aims-unite-america-national-slate-independent-candidates/ … via @ivn

Let's do bipartisan/nonpartisan in 2024. Let's save the country in 2018.
It's regional. Maine can run Independents, we have an I senator. Some places that lean red may have better luck with an I than a D...some GOP is totally functional on a local level. We need to make wise choices. Put forth qualified, electable candidates, regardless of party.

I argue that is you demand minimum competence, which for congress would be: - demonstrated proficiency in reading bills, including ability to understand consequences - transparency in financing - accessibility for constituents - ability to collaborate with others

The negligence we are experiencing in congress is decades of us collectively neglecting our duty as voters. We rewarded an electoral process that greatly divorced the skills from the job interview - the natural consequence is...this.

Right. I think first and foremost, we are seeing voter engagement in general, which can only be good. But voters need to educate themselves about each race, not just GOTV.

For example, I think voting blue in Maine's senate race would be a colossal blunder. Angus King is a strong senator, and a Democrat vote will give net support to GOP. I support
@TiffanyBond because I've spent time discussing the issues with her, and I think she can win. - Show replies
