Warren speaks about the influence of multi-national corporations on our trade policy. Brings it back to corruption. We need a robust conversation about this corruption; will the moderators #AskAboutDemocracy? #DemDebate

Today's Supreme Court ruling on #gerrymandering is proof yet again that we the people can't wait on courts and politicians to fix our democracy for us. Learn about how @Liquid_US helps voters take control

Every voter has that issue where they disagree with their politicians, liquid let's voters have reps on an issue-by-issue basis so they're always accurately represented #democraticdebate

debates generally are a perfect ex of our broken system - candidates have to compete for attention in a system often more focused on entertainment & theater than substance #DemDebate

Mueller report reminds us why we can't have good things: winner-take-all elections create huge incentives to protect fellow party members, attack members of other party. How can voters tell what's actually happening?

#Brexit chaos continues to demonstrate failures of direct democracy & electoral democracy. Voters can only consider the specific language before them, have no way to help draft it. Electeds are too terrified of losing power to do anything

In the vacuum left by the loss of reachable life goals, we 80s kids kind of figured: fuck it.

And now FoxConn isn't manufacturing in WI. Our election system enables & incentivizes corrupt corporate subsidies, or at least makes it impossible to look at a situation like this without thinking pay2play. @VoteLiquid is working to fix this

During #HR1 hearing, .@RepSylviaGarcia talks about her own experience being purged from the voter rolls even though she was an elected official. "Your average voter doesn't have the capacity" to call officials like she did.
