    A thread like this isn’t the space for future building. This is a thread on the discussion of an election. So no surprise the conversation is focused on that.

    There no possible way to do as you said, in fall 2024. Edit or any other fall during 2 party, fptp where the leading candidates are already selected.

    Of course other countries do it differently. It’s great. But changing the whole electoral process between September and November is a joke.

    Edit edit and now instead of working on grassroots candidates or platform change, this nose holding Harris voter is instead spending my community time exclusively looking after the at risk people in my network, rather than working on horizon goals. Trump and co have contracted the threat window so massively the goals have changed.

      That is a very difficult argument to make convincingly when we just had an election where the incumbent was forced off the ballot mere weeks from election day and their replacement might have won if she’d been allowed to be a “hope and change” candidate instead of promising to preserve her predecessor’s status quo.

        I acknowledge what you’re saying, and acknowledge I’m pretty myopically focused on the abject evil that is trump.
