Ranked Choice Voting And Democracy…
One is interested in the resounding silence from lawmakers in NYS on the topic of dead civilians and local-community members — —
We can make more laws restricting the movement of We The People, or we can explore lifestyle that is less inhuman and relates to local community members, their safety and quality of life. The structure of towns and cities that have long catered to marketing and commercial interests, could become experiments in quality of life for people and animals, and promotion of clean environment.
Another reason I Love NY — --https://wbng.com/news/top-stories/2019/11/03/nyc-considering-ranked-choice-voting/----NEW YORK (AP) — New York City voters used to picking one candidate per race may soon be marking their ballots for up to five. — -end of wbng info —
Another reason I love NY, and perhaps the reason Trump is leaving?? — https://www.ecowatch.com/new-york-city-bans-foie-gras-2641206327.html?utm_source=EcoWatch+List&utm_campaign=a1d527e6ab-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_49c7d43dc9-a1d527e6ab-85339501
Hmm..legislation as a tool to defend human, civil, and environmental rights. Let’s research further.
A reason we endure the authoritarianism of for-commerce governance, AKA running government like a business, includes the propaganda spewed by state-run/corporate-owned mainstream media that we need to “hold our noses and vote” for someone we don’t want ever to see in public office. Further annoyances from Capitalist Party D&R supporters toward other honest voters is endured by those voters when they are derided because they did not “hold their nose and vote” for an inferior choice. That isn’t even close to principles of a democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.
Simple change in so-called rules of elections to include ranked-choice voting would offer free, clean, and fair elections rather than the Capitalist Party R&D captured circus we now endure. For instance, corporate-owned/state-run mainstream media, paid by political campaigns and corporations, of which they are part and parcel, so-called report on public airwaves, that one candidate is un-electable and another is electable. This is ownership of elections in keeping with a Banana Republic.

What is Ranked Choice Voting?
Ranked Choice Voting will allow, for example, a voter to cast a vote for Bernie Sanders as a first choice, and a vote for Ronald Trump as a second choice. This way the so-called electable choice will be included in second place, and will receive the first vote if enough voters haven’t voted for the preferred candidate Bernie Sanders.
So far, Capitalist Party D&R politicians have given the nation capitalistic authoritarianism, heavy metals in baby food, and corruption. Should we take a different course? — — -http://email.edf.org/q/112JkRTxaFraOx9O7bN/wv

Maria Shriver, one may presume, is a dedicated member of the DNC Establishment. Another presumption is that the Democratic Branch and the Republican Branch of the Capitalist Party are responsible for censorship and a growing authoritarianism in the USA founded upon the corruption indicated in the Citizens United ruling that legalized without legitimizing buying of elections by big-money interest; within which group Shriver may be safeguarded. From this bastion of privilege Shriver comments about the system by which she has profited — -https://www.aol.com/article/entertainment/2019/11/04/maria-shriver-names-root-of-our-problem-of-divisiveness-united-states-exclusive/23850997/
And when We The People attempt participation in our own democratic (small d) Constitutional republic, that Shriver minimizes such voice is a problem — -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq4MBuGb85M&t=147s-----That Shriver called Jill Stein “the other woman”, in regard to Hillary Clinton, is lauighable when one considers both Shriver and Clinton, and the self-dependent Jill Stein.
This frankly sexist description of Jill Stein by Shriver was magnified by Clinton’s denigration of a woman standing up within her responsibility as a US citizen — -

Speaking of hypocrisy, one has heard this the definition of Trump restricting Congressional questioning of witnesses while calling for exposure of the whistle-blower. One would more finely describe this as dictatorship. To call out American citizens exercising Free Speech while protecting bureaucrats promoting the position of the President can be called nothing less.
Functioning in an ostensible role as snake-oil salesman, Trump uses sales phrases. This needs to be recognized and called out.
8:50AM — Guest — paraphrase — spoke on the topic of people crossing the border of our electoral process. (Apparently referencing invitations by the Trump campaign and Administration to foreign nations to undermine the sovereign right to clean, fair, and free elections for We The People)

This would be an apt moment to remind ourselves that We The People are the first responders against the intrusion and violence from capitalistic hierarchical Establishment — --https://countercurrents.org/2019/11/amazon-guardian-shot-dead-by-loggers----The Amazon Guardians have been patrolling their territory in the eastern Amazon, which has been heavily invaded by loggers, for several years. Uncontacted members of the Awa tribe also live in the territory.
At least three Guardians have previously been killed, and many of their relatives have also been killed as loggers and land grabbers have targeted their territory, known as Arariboia, which is now the last area of forest left in the region. — -end of countercurrents info — -

Here’s a frightening idea: Grand Canyon, sponsored by Coca Cola. Yosemite, brought to you by McDonalds. Acadia, a subsidiary of Aramark.
Under a scheme hatched by former disgraced Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, that could be the eventual fate of America’s national parks.
Reporters recently uncovered shady plans between the Interior Department and national park profiteers, the RV and hospitality industries, and enemies of public lands to privatize national park campgrounds, allow commercialized food trucks and other services at parks, limit benefits for seniors and increase prices.1
This plan would be a massive giveaway to corporate interests and Trump donors who stand to profit from national park privatization. We must speak out now to stop it.

Those straddling between capturing the status of corporate hierarchical Establishment and the honor and self-respect of the indigenous people around the globe, must make a personal choice about themselves. To occupy both positions is laughable.
These are reasons to support democratic (small d) socialist Bernie Sanders for President, when one understands the authoritarianism of capitalism — -

Rally in Minneapolis with Rep. Ilhan Omar
Fast forward to the places you wish in this Minneapolis, but it is well worth accessing. “If we stand together, we are going to win”
One cherishes the spirit and enlightenment in this Minneapolis Bernie Sanders Rally, in comparison to some of the campaign rallies with a less uplifting message from more dictatorial-style campaigners. Sister Turner’s in the house, baby! AND Winona Laduke! Too much talent and integrity in one place! Brought to you by Bernie Sanders. Imagine if he was the President.

Winona LaDuke Calls for Indigenous-Led “Green New Deal” as She Fights Minnesota Pipeline Expansion
Updated information received from Green Party Presidential candidate Howie Hawkins, crucial to defense of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic — — -
If voters, citizens, and We The People who support Bernie Sanders are again disenfranchised of our right to free, clean, and fair elections in 2020 as was the case in 2016, the Green Party offers excellent candidates, if not superior candidates, to protect our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
Some voters in the US were disenfranchised due to Capitalist Party D&R election rigging that is controlled by political Parties. The Capitalist Party R&D, have as their objective, putting in place rules that ensure the candidate choice of a particular Establishment Party is put into office, even against the wishes of the voters.
Please remember political Parties have no standing under the US Constitution, but voters do have standing under the US Constitution. Due to disenfranchisement of 3rd-Party candidates, Bernie Sanders who is an Independent, chooses to run as a Democrat for President. If a voter is a member of a 3rd-Party, and wishes to vote for 3rd-Party politician Bernie Sanders, in the Democratic Primary, that voter may be disenfranchised of his/her Constitutional right of a free and fair election, as happened to a large number of voters in NYS in 2016.
One suspects these disenfranchised voters who may have felt defrauded of their right to vote in the 2016 Democratic Primary, voted for Trump in the 2016 general election. One believes this will happen again, because needless to say, the Capitalist Party R&D prefer chaos in the election system, which is a control mechanism for political Parties with no standing under the US Constitution, while the voters do have standing under the US Constitution. This is an interesting red-herring to wield a control that is not Constitutional.
*****Each state is different as to their voter registration guidelines. Anyone wishing to vote for Bernie Sanders for President in the Democratic Primary, should check to be sure they will not be disenfranchised at the polls, once again in 2020, as in 2016. A voter can easily switch between political Parties, rather than functioning as a captive Party loyalist, to a political Party that is not loyal to the voter. *****
Or one can be registered to vote, without being affiliated to a particular political Party. Please remember, the US Constitution supports free and fair elections for voters, but is blissfully unconcerned about political Parties. That some Americans believe “we are a 2-Party system”, is nothing but propaganda.
*****Be sure to check with your state to register to vote in the Primary according to your wish and by exercising your US Constitutional right to vote.*****
*****One may also advocate for ranked-choice voting, that will expand choices for voters, and provide a greater possibility of free and fair elections.*****
