Michael Kapp @michaelkapp.com · 16/08/2026The DNC met in Austin this past week, and three things happened that are worth your time. The ranked choice voting ban is dead.

Reposted by Michael KappDante Atkins @danteatkins.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Yes, record fundraising, record investments in state parties, rejecting insider RCV bans, crucial reforms to the primary calendar, calling for the abolition of ICE, but somehow Ken Martin is the problem instead of the actual truth, which is that he has been the solution. 2209
Michael Kapp @michaelkapp.com · 15/08/2026Before a single state applied, the DNC agreed on three tests: is it rigorous, is it fair, is it efficient? I believed that the whole early window should look like our Party, not a piece of it. I'm proud to have made some small impact on this historic and diverse calendar. Now let's go win. 🖐️☝️ 030
