This is the thing. We could implement a lot of the proposed (well-intentioned) solutions to gerrymandering, and we'd still have gerrymandering. And even if we DID somehow prevent it, our winner-take-all system is responsible for a lot of the problems we blame on gerrymandering.
Proportional representation solves the gerrymandering problem at its core. @imillhiser @voxdotcom vox.com/politics/507376/supr…

Congress is way older than the people they represent, and that's not likely to change dramatically after this election. Great visualizations here from Oscar Pocasangre @PolReformNA

There's a strong conservative case for proportional representation -- in America, in Britain, and everywhere. thecritic.co.uk/the-conserva…
Single-member districts—not gerrymandering—cause most partisan bias in the House. @SethWerfel and @DevonMagliozzi @UnderReviewMag

I'm almost certain it won't be a single third party that emerges, but rather a new electoral system that allows multiple parties to gain representation and form coalitions.
And yes, it does start to feel inevitable. More polling: newamerica.org/insights/prop…
There are all sorts of procedural and legal reasons why the U.S. has been a two-party country for so long, and I'm not convinced that the rise of a successful third party is imminent, but ...
Well, let's put it this way: If and when a successful third party emerges in the next decade, people are going to pass around graphs like this in a "lol this is the most obvious development in modern political history" kind of way

This is exactly right. We’ll look back on the two-party system and wonder how anyone ever thought it would last

We're proud to sign in support of the hugely important congressional modernization effort.
Congressional Modernization Lives!!
Earlier this summer @HouseAdmin @HouseAdm_Dems launched a portal to collect ideas for future congressional modernization efforts. Many groups and individuals internal and external to Congress contributed, yielding 200 submissions!! 1/3
Working class Americans deserve proportional representation
“Of the 919 candidates running as major-party nominees for the US House and Senate this November, only seven had a working-class job when they got into politics.”
Nick Carnes and I explain why working-class people are numerically underrepresented.

🚨 1 in 10 Americans were used as political pawns in the gerrymandering wars between the two parties, according to a new report from @protctdemocracy. Proportional representation is the only ultimate solution.

"Replacing winner-take-all is necessary not only for fairness but also for restoring democratic legitimacy." @ABAesq @MeredithSumpter @dsallentess americanbar.org/groups/crsj/…
Proportional representation would make it easier for "people to participate in our political system authentically."
What would it take to restore faith in American democracy? @chavezlinda’s latest guest on the Older/Wiser podcast, Jennifer Dresden @protctdemocracy, has one answer: proportional representation. But is it realistic? Tune into the latest episode to find out!

Proportional representation will break up the two party doom loop
Iowa governor candidate @RobSandIA (D) on the two-party system: "I think that giving people only two options on their ballot is more about controlling them than it is about listening to them."
"Adopting proportional representation would restore competitive elections to the House and end the scourge of gerrymandering forever." @fordm newrepublic.com/article/2139…
"The verdict on the two-party system is in. The case for what comes after it remains to be made." washingtonpost.com/ripple/20…

What if more Americans want to change our elections than we think?🤔
🚨A new poll alert!🚨
50% of Americans support proportional representation, while only 24% oppose it.
But here's the really interesting part:
Most people didn't even know what proportional representation was. Only 2% could name it without being prompted.
But what does “proportional representation” actually mean?
Simply put: if a group gets 20% of the votes, it should have a real chance to win about 20% of the seats. That means more voters can have a voice in who represents them instead of elections where one winner takes everything.
The first step toward changing our elections is understanding that we have other choices.🗳️
