Our democracy is broken. Here’s how we repair it.
America stands at a crossroads.
For decades, our elections have forced us into false choices and binary narratives: us versus them, left versus right, red versus blue. Our system endlessly pits us against one another. It forces us to choose between the lesser of two evils, time and time again.
That system, plurality voting, creates only two viable options in most races, rewarding those who can weaponize division and identity and leaving everyone else to pick between the lesser of two evils or not participate at all.
It's why so many feel unseen by either party. It’s why candidates win — despite broad unpopularity — by splitting the majority and uniting only a minority under their banner. And it’s how powerful interests — both at home and abroad — have been able to manipulate our politics and drive us to the brink, exploiting the rules to divide and conquer.
But today, we face one last binary choice: Will we stand with those who would reunite our country, or with those who profit from keeping us divided? Will we settle for fear, frustration, and rigged outcomes, or will we join together to usher in a new American majority aligned around shared values and real representation?
Electoral reforms such as approval voting are the rallying point for this coalition. By allowing all voters to participate in the primary election process and support as many candidates as they genuinely prefer in the general election, it breaks the monopoly of division, removes the spoiler effect, and makes it impossible for extremists to win by splitting opposition. Approval voting demands candidates reach for broad support — and that means the best ideas, and the people who bring them, win.
For conservatives, approval voting means finally getting authentic, principled choices and never again being forced between an outsider and an establishment they distrust.
For progressives, it means supporting both the champions of their ideals and the leaders with experience to get things done, no compromise required.
For independents, it means having the freedom to vote for every candidate who reflects their mix of priorities, without ever being treated as an afterthought again.
Nonpartisan primaries allow all voters to have a say in which candidates will advance to the general election. Instead of appealing to their respective bases of support, politicians must consider how their views and policies will influence the broader electorate. Already piloted in Alaska, a single primary with four candidates advancing gives voters better choices and more diversity of thought to choose from.
This is not a partisan cause. We all stand to benefit from a better electoral system.
To truly reject the politics of division, we must reject the system that makes it so easy to weaponize difference.
That starts here, with a choice — an unmistakable, historic choice to upgrade how our democracy works, to empower voters, and to remake our government into one worthy of the greatness of our nation.
Join in this rally for a better democracy. Be part of the solution.
Let’s give Americans the politics — and the country — they deserve.
Our future demands unity. This is how we achieve it.
