I just emailed my U.S. Representative, asking them to support the Fair Representation Act! Join me by doing the same: [@campaign]
We're like c/socialism, but while lemmy is largely closeted armchair socialists, we're overt armchair socialists.
Downvote anything that will actually help achieve socialism like direct action, meet ups, protests etc. Upvote content that will do bugger all.

Armchair Leftists @lemmy.ca venusaur @lemmy.world If you care about democracy, tell your congressperson to support the Fair Representation Act!
The Fair Representation Act has been re-introduced in Congress. This bold solution can stop gerrymandering and make Congress work for every American.
The Fair Representation Act can solve partisan gerrymandering, make every congressional district competitive, and encourage politicians to represent all of us instead of just their base. It does this by combining three reforms:
- Multi-member districts. In three- or five-member districts, nearly every voter will elect a candidate they support. Voters like Massachusetts Republicans and Oklahoma Democrats will be represented in Congress. Gerrymandering will become nearly impossible.
- Ranked choice voting for all U.S. House and Senate elections. RCV frees voters to support their favorite candidates, and encourages candidates to reach out to more voters for second-choice support. When RCV is used in multi-member districts, it is a form of proportional representation.
- Uniform rules for congressional redistricting
