Proportional representation systems can't be gerrymandered. Don't believe me? Give it a try! I made a gerrymandering simulator with an imaginary state under either single-member districts or multi-member proportional districts. How much can YOU gerrymander? claude.ai/public/artif...

[Jared Polis]: "I think a multi-party democracy would be healthier in many ways [with] #ProportionalRepresentation." www.cbsnews.com/video/extend... Relevant part starts at around 5:50.

#ProportionalRepresentation is also important for many areas of group decision-making beyond politics! #ProRep #AI

#ProportionalRepresentation is the path forward out of the doom loop of spiraling political violence. #ProRep #EndPolarization #EndTheDuopoly

You've been duly warned that this also applies if you join us. #ProportionalRepresentation #ProRep

"This is where #ProportionalRepresentation comes in. Instead of asking only, 'Which single dessert wins?' it asks a different question: if we are going to share this table, how many different desserts should be on it, and how do we decide which ones?" www.civilbeat.org/2026/01/beth...

It's great to see more and more people recognizing that #ProportionalRepresentation is the best fix for gerrymandering.

#ProportionalRepresentation gives voters more freedom to choose.

Exactly. That's what we're pushing California to do. It's not really experimental. *Most* democracies use #ProportionalRepresentation. It's the US that's unusual.

#ProportionalRepresentation is the way to end gerrymandering.

#ProportionalRepresentation can end this two-party doom loop of spiraling polarization and political violence. That's the power of multi-member districts. They can create a more collaborative multi-party system where every party has incentives and the means to collaborate with others.

Yes, getting representatives to act in our behalf requires real representation. #ProportionalRepresentation.

"Political reforms to prevent [gerrymandering] from happening again (the most robust version would be #ProportionalRepresentation) are sorely needed..." prospect.org/2025/12/12/i...

#ProportionalRepresentation is *the* fix for gerrymandering.

The EIU's Democracy Index ranks countries on how well democracy works. What do the top countries have in common? #ProportionalRepresentation What California has: winner-take-all elections and endless gridlock. We can do better! #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #EndPolarization #MultipartyAmerica

“If we want to protect democracy, if we want all our votes to count, and if we want our government to be more representative, we must adopt a system of #ProportionalRepresentation, giving parties seats matching their percentage of the vote.” www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open... (paywalled)

This guy gets it. #ProportionalRepresentation #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #EndPolarization #EndGerrymandering #MultipartyAmerica #FairSeats

#ProportionalRepresentation is the way forward through this gerrymandering mess and out of the two-party doom loop.

"I see more clearly what problem Common Cause is trying to solve and why proportional, at-large elections might be one way to solve it in a city that is both highly diverse and relatively small.” #ProportionalRepresentation www.civilbeat.org/2025/11/beth...

"Americans know the system isn’t working, and gerrymandering is just another bandage on a deep wound. #ProportionalRepresentation is the cure." – Caledon Myers of @prorepcoalition.bsky.social on how PR stops gerrymandering and gives every voter a voice

Two-party systems are pretty terrible at creating policies we actually want. #ProportionalRepresentation #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #EndPolarization

New article from ProRep's Executive Director in the Mercury News and East Bay Times today! www.mercurynews.com/2025/11/21/o...

This sounds like a plan, proportional representation: enewspaper.mercurynews.com/infinity/art...

Real talk: When was the last time your vote actually mattered in a California legislative race? Most districts are so safe that the primary decides everything. #ProportionalRepresentation would make every vote count in every district. That's not radical—it's just fair. #ProRep #EndGerrymandering

"[W]e must institute a multiparty democracy (via #ProportionalRepresentation like most democracies) and an executive more like a prime minister than the imperial president we seem doomed to endure under our current constitution."

Fairness matters. #ProportionalRepresentation #ProRep #EndGerrymandering

It's time we upgrade our system to a fair one. The proportion of seats ought to match the proportion of votes. #ProportionalRepresentation #ProRep #EndTheDuopoly #EndPolarization

Keep spreading the word about #ProportionalRepresentation. People are hearing us!

“...[P]roportional voting is arguably far more democratic than the US winner takes all system because there would be far fewer wasted votes. Nearly all voters... would help elect a candidate they support and have their views represented in the district.” youtu.be/l1Re-3Rh4rU?...

"Proportional representation would effectively neuter any attempt to gerrymander. First, multi-member districts would mean fewer lines to draw and, therefore, fewer opportunities to gerrymander. Second, the remaining district lines become far less important." fairvote.org/california-p...

Thanks @capitolweekly.bsky.social for highlighting @prorepcoalition.bsky.social and #ProportionalRepresentation ! However you vote on #Prop50 its time for California to move on from our dysfunctional and dangerous two-party system and build something better. #democracy

New Op-ed! "To truly address gerrymandering and the toxic two-party political culture that has led to its recent resurgence, California needs to fight fire with water. We need structural democracy reform." capitolweekly.net/its-time-for...

"One thing many Americans don’t appreciate is just how unusual our political system is. As democracies go, we stand out in that we have fewer political parties than just about every other country out there (save the authoritarian ones)." #ProportionalRepresentation is what we need to address this.

Yes, it's about time we talk about #ProportionalRepresentation, the most elegant way to address gerrymandering in a way that's fair to *everyone*.

“Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley, with guest @robrichie.bsky.social… explore fixes [to gerrymandering and “safe” seats] like proportional representation...” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

"@leedrutman.bsky.social... explain[s] how the U.S. two-party system fuels polarization, gridlock, and democratic decline—and how reforms like proportional representation... could help fix it. Our politics can be better. In this session, we envision how.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

*taps sign* in any event, proportional representation! @theunpopulist.net

"Proportional representation could have an even greater impact... [E]very district would become a swing district. All our votes would matter, and our voices would be heard... [D]ifferent parties would have new incentives to work together to deliver for voters." thefulcrum.us/electoral-re...

“We also advocate #ProportionalRepresentation as a long way to ensure that every vote counts and every voice is heard.” app.publicnewsservice.org/story/propos...

"There’s a better way. It’s called #ProportionalRepresentation... This system would dramatically reduce the power of gerrymandering... is already used in 130 countries... and [is] especially relevant for California." From @ocregister.bsky.social. www.ocregister.com/2025/10/10/g...

"Last week, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences... released an important new report on how to fix our broken Congress..., which makes a powerful case for a shift to #ProportionalRepresentation (PR)." fairvote.org/landmark-rep...

Mills would be 79 when she takes office, 85 when she retires. Says she'll only serve one term, which shows how useless term limits are to bring down the age of Congress. To bridge the age gap, we need serious reform, as @oscarp.bsky.social and I recently wrote: protectdemocracy.org/work/age-div...

Proportional Representation is the radical idea that a party that gets 30% of the vote should never have 100% of the power. In most stable democracies, this is already obvious. Why not here?

"[T]he 'winner-take-all' system used in most U.S. elections... contributes to polarization.... By contrast, proportional systems allow more voters to see their preferences reflected in Congress, can reduce partisan divides, and virtually eliminate gerrymandering." www.amacad.org/news/publica...

The @nytimes.com and @natecohn.bsky.social shared their readers' ideas for how to stop gerrymandering. The most popular proposal? Proportional representation. "Proportional representation would make gerrymandering irrelevant. But it would do a lot more than that." t.co/1nLM8D02E8

It really truly is. Anybody who looks at countries using first-past-the-post (aka plurality voting) sees a situation worth emulating. #ProportionalRepresentation #EndTheDuopoly #EndPolarization #FairSeats #MultiPartyAmerica
