I really like @LarryLessig but the take here on “vanity” presidential candidates is bogus. Every day it’s more obvious how a dysfunctional status quo seeks to protect itself from disruption. It’s like “Be happy, kids! You can still have the cheap seats.”google.com/amp/s/www.washing…

Perspective | Third parties fear the Democrats’ big voter bill. It’ll actually help them.

Changes to the funding of congressional races could shake up the two-party monopoly.

I think the Senate needs to tweak this bill before they pass it ... If they can pass it!

“Vanity” candidates only exist when we have an election system where you only have one vote, if people actually cared about people “throwing their vote away” they’d reform elections to include ranked choice voting. Elites are just scared of losing votes to principled candidates
