Yes, the Lincoln project is old school Republican

IMO - RCV increases the power of voters while decreasing the power of the 2 major parties. With “first past the post” voters only get to choose between lesser of 2 evils.

Thanks for the lead. Now I know about Rufus https://pureinfotech.com/rufus-create-bootable-windows-11-usb/

I said Signal, meant to say Sessions

I’d be interested to hear people’s thoughts about Signal and DeltaChat for messaging

Reading the discussion here. I’d never heard of xmpp. Probably just never registered as a messaging alternative. Just checked out https://xmpp.org/. Wow! Tons of apps. Even some android apps on fdroid. Guess I’ve got some exploring to do.

Right, IMO First Past The Post being good enough has led to more partisanship, extremism and polarization. It has increased the power of money and decreased the power of We the People.

Do both. Ranked Choice Voting and more parties work together just fine. Represent Us

Thanks for the great post and resources list.

Thanks.

Corruption - dark money, etc is just one part of what Represent Us is working on. Many think that the push for RCV is the most important.
Ending first past the post elections might end a lot of corruption and party domination.

Our elected representatives need to be able to use their brains and their consciences and represent us over their political parties. Good for him standing up. If you aren’t aware -represent us is working on making it so this can happen more often.

I’d like to be able to easily play music stored on my devices (phones, tablets, PCs, Nas) over the stereo system I own, anytime, controlling it with said devices, without having to manually go through multiple setup steps to get everything powered up and paired every damn time. Is it possible to get it all set up once so that I can simply hit play on my phone and hear the music whenever? Seems like it should be doable but I haven’t been able to figure out how to get it done without having to go through a whole rigmarole every damn time. 😄 Would really appreciate any answers or leads.
