So the pendulum has swung away from Republicans to Democrats. For the next two years, Democrats will spend their political capital pursuing their interpretation of the will of the people. The next time voters will be asked to weigh in will be in 2028. Will the pendulum swing back?

Ranked Choice Voting makes the Alaska candidate scam ineffective. Votes are preserved (ie NOT wasted) as long as voters rank candidates.

Here are some good ideas for what the Democrats could do with their majorities in the House and Senate. There's detail in the attached article.

1. Provide incentives for states to build more housing and reduce housing costs.

2. Pass an "Affordability Act" that would reduce prices. See the details.

3. Control AI and Make AI Companies accountable for the actions of their models.

4. Pass Medicare for all kids. See Andy Kim's bill: "Medikids."

5. Expand SCOTUS to the size typical in the rest of the world and raise frequency of seating new justices.

6. Establish loophole free Federal controls for political contributions by gov't contractors.

7. End the Iran war.

8. Immigration reform.

One or more of these are beneficial to all Americans either directly or indirectly. They are quite reasonable and should be passed with bipartisan support.

8 writers and experts on the legislation Democrats should consider.

It would be a huge mistake for Alaska voters to end Ranked Choice voting in their state.

Ranked Choice Voting is majority rule. It will ensure that the Democrat ballot scam cannot work. RCV allows voters to save their vote. The scam will work in the plurality system where voters can only vote for their first choice.

And please don’t think that voters can’t understand RCV. It’s as simple as first choice, second choice. So voters ranking the two Dan Sullivans first and second will effectively defeat the ballot scam.

Beyond hotly contested Senate and governor’s races, Alaskans will decide Tuesday whether to scrap the state’s unique ballot. The campaign of Mary Peltola may have bolstered critics of the system.

Massachusetts voters will have the opportunity to vote for a new nonpartisan primary election. This will allow all voters to vote and candidates from all parties to run. We need this in New Jersey.

This November, Massachusetts voters will have a chance to scrap party controlled primary elections and replace them with a people's primary where every voter gets the same ballot and can vote for whomever they want. If you live in Mass., vote yes on 3! If you don't, tell all your friends and family....

If only our politicians would put the interests of their constituents first. But the choice is between just two parties, “us vs them” or lose / win. In this mode unsolved problems have more value to the parties in provoking anger.

More voters are now registered Independent of either party. That suggests that we need a better way to hold politicians accountable.

Most voters have messier views than their partisan labels would suggest.

Professors Gilen and Paige of Princeton found there is NO correlation between the level of public support for a law and the probability that it will be enacted - unless "the public" included only elites. How can this picture be corrected?
