Racial Justice, Immigration, Abortion Rights & Ranked-Choice Voting Initiatives on the Ballot Today

While most eyes are trained on the contest between President Trump and Joe Biden, down-ballot races and state ballot measures will also have major consequences for racial justice, immigration, reproductive rights and more. “The issues and policies that affect people day in and day out are often determined on the bottom of the ballot,” says Ronald Newman, the national political director for the American Civil Liberties Union.

This was a tremendously informative piece that would not normally appear in mainstream media. The guest was very clear in his explanations. Kuddos to the producers and the guest.

Rank choice/preferential voting works well in Australia, the greens get 13%of the vote. And we have a fully INDEPENDENT electoral commission. This is what Real Democracy looks like.

Unless we wish to destroy ourselves, we must implement a permanent UBI now. Then we can transition to a RBE. Also support the Money Free Party and The Venus Project so we can go beyond politics poverty and war.

Informative and helpful for me to understand. I hope some day the United States will have one form of voting for all. It’s confusing too may the way it is now. Thank you to your guest 🕊

Fascinating stuff (I am a bit of a nerd, yes), thank you, Ronald. And thanks to the ACLU, an organisation that would be sorely missed were it not there.

South Carolina is very sad, alot of young voters over there I can imagine.

Racial justice? I don't owe black people anything.

He so casually refers to third parties siphoning boats from other parties. As if third parties are there only to spoil a possible Democratic or Republican candidate.

Third parties are very important. Give me something worth voting for.

I think they banned these loans in NZ if I remember rightly or have put strict rules around the loans.

Don’t forget the Latinas they work very hard and
bring home a fraction of what a white man
would bring home but, of all my friends,
They are the ones who bring home
the paycheck on a regular basis.
Most guys like me,
we work at one or
two jobs at a time.
COVID has hurt the market.
If we can find labor.
There is so much work to be done on infrastructure
I don’t understand why we are not hired to clean it up?
Here’s the question is it socialism to give the fat cats even more fat‼️
or is it “socialism”
Paying people for the work they do is not socialism my friends.
Furthermore,
to hire someone to clean up your crap and pay them for it‼️💲‼️
You, tell me‼️
Most Police officers, do work for a living believe me.
They, like teachers are supposed to be all things to all people.
I have friends that have died in the service
Both here and abroad.
Many Americans are so,
Dog-whistle crazy, that, they are beyond reason.
Of course this is being Precipitated by the head crazy himself.
