So disturbing. @jim_rutt is a patriot, student of history and a complexity scholar--former Santa Fe Institute Chairman, organized Game~B to re-imagine governance and save the west from collapse, hosts the non-ideological 'Jim Rutt Show'. (Jim also coined the term "snail mail"!)
He has now been booted from Facebook--without explanation, being told there is no possibility of being reinstated. That is exactly what happened to me, and similar to what happened to @jgreenhall (Game~B founder, now like me restored to FB with unofficial, nonsense explanation). 
Apparently Jim's elimination from Facebook came at the same time the two other admins of the Game~B Facebook group were thrown off.
So at @braverangels we commissioned a poll from @YouGov to survey American's thoughts about the possibility of violence following a contested election, and the possibility that the election may in fact be rigged.

The poll, and public letter we are circulating that I retweeted above, were covered yesterday in this featured piece from @USATODAY.

But in the survey we put forward 3 statements for Republicans, Democrats independents and others to agree or disagree with. (3/18)
Something very odd is going on with this tweet. The first time I posted, it vanished without a trace. The second time it was visible to me, but there was a long delay for others. Hard to escape the sense that Twitter likes the duopoly much more than democracy. #Unity2020
And now it shows up twice
And for some reason the source tweet is "unavailable"

Feels like many young Americans have just found Marx & think communism solves all the world's problems.
European countries tried it 100 years ago or at least had civil unrest / a civil war due to clashing ideologies.
Now practically all of Europe has social democracy...

...a synthesis of capitalist & socialistic elements. I think it's a decent system and could work well for USA as well.
Thesis -> antithesis -> synthesis is how we got to it. Millions upon millions died at the thesis / antithesis phase... it took decades to reach synthesis.

I wish people could better their society via democracy, but I've become increasingly fearful that the USA will go through a revolution, or at least a civil war. Same kind of a war that the Russian Empire had in 1917.
I hope the whole world won't join the "party" this time.

The DNC asks progressives for "unity" to defeat Donald Trump. Low voter turnout could ensure a second Trump term and GOP control of the Senate.
If Democrats are serious about a Biden "win" and Senate takeover, there's a simple solution . . . .

Two companion Medicare For All bills are pending in the House and Senate, each with a long list of co-sponsors.
Medicare For All (HR1384) easily can pass in the House today.

At a time when a growing number of working people are losing their employer-provided insurance and suffering under the burden of healthcare debt, passing Medicare For All, with strong vocal support from Joe Biden, would pressure the Senate to act.

We celebrate that dance is a place where people of different backgrounds can come together around a common love for self expression through movement. But we are watching our dance communities crumble under the divisive ideology of critical theory/identity politics.
There are still racial injustices in the world. We believe that the best way to fight them is to work together as a community and as equals, regardless of skin color, sex, sexual orientation, gender, etc.
We see the racism happening in the classic sense, but we also see the racism happening within woke ideology and we are standing apart from it.
So, for those of y'all wondering how feasible a Kanye West presidential campaign and #Unity2020 is in regards to ballot access this late in the year, here is a thread detailing each state's requirements with information from ballot-access.org/2020/04/27/apr…
In order for #Kanye2020 to be an actual thing and not a PR stunt, he needs to make enough state ballots to win 270 electoral votes. There are 538 total electoral votes representing all 50 states and DC is granted electoral votes equal to the smallest state (23rd Amendment).
First up is Alabama (9 electoral votes). He needs to collect petition signatures from 5,000 registered voters by Aug 13th. Many signatures get thrown due to technicalities, so it is recommended that a candidate get twice as many signatures. He can meet this requirements.
