Susan Page just lied. The Commission on Presidential Debates is not "nonpartisan". It's bipartisan. It's a creation of the Democratic and Republican Party establishments. It has excluded other candidates (unless both the Dems and Reps agree otherwise.) See

The Ubiquitous “Public Opinion Poll” Doesn’t Actually Measure Public Opinion
A majority of people could want an anti-establishment candidate as president and we would never know it because the public is never asked who they actually want.

Hey, John. Had missed this. Sam here. The point of VotePact is that it effectively votes against both genocidal establishment parties. So instead of you voting for Harris & say Clint Eastwood voting for Trump, you can vote for say the Greens and he can vote for the Libertarians
This horrid debate is the consequence of a political and media system. The RNC and DNC rig the system, the debates, the media through MSNBC and FNC and CNN. We can get

by regular people from left and right joining together and rejecting both Biden & Trump
My latest: Dueling -- or Logrolling -- Apartheids
RFK Jr. and Jordan Peterson defend apartheid Israel, Chomsky has advocated vaccine apartheid. Musk and the rest of Big Tech are for speech apartheid. Don't pick an apartheid, pick them all apart.
Progressives who think they have to totally get behind Biden miss the point: The more you do that, the less accountable Biden is to you. Only by asserting some power over a candidate can you influence their direction. Same for Trump.

Significant use of VotePact in this election now will likely cast a shadow over whoever is in the White House over the next four years. The notion that the duopoly is invincible must be cast into the fire for the citizenry to have meaningful leverage.
It’s dueling xenophobes: Pence’s anti China vs Harris’ anti Russia. It’s how the duopoly holds itself together, by demonizing other countries rather than stopping US militarisms that Dems and Reps are addicted to.
#VPDebate
You don't have to chose between the Biden-Trump ridiculous debate. You an rebel against the duopoly by embracing someone on the other side of the left-right divide and both vote for the emerging parties of your choice: Libertarian, Green, whatever.
This debate is a propoganda operation organized by the "Commission on Presidential Debates" -- which was set up by the Democratic and Republican parties. Through a series of mechanisms, it blocks out other parties and candidates.

-- you and a friend can vote third party instead of cancelling each other out and one voting for Biden and the other for Trump when neither of you believe in them. Thanks to
@voltairinemedia
for suggesting the segment and cutting the video
I swear I truly believe Trump is racing Harris to lose the election-
She campaigns with Liz Cheney -
Trump gives monologues about Arnold Palmers genitalia - endowments
Millions are hungry for a choice beyond Trump-Pence, Biden-Harris. But they feel trapped because they feel they have to vote for one to stop the other. The solution uses this. People can pair up and both vote for candidates they believe in.
#VoicesofUnity
Greenwald and a few other writers are just scratching the surface by looking at points of intersection among political figures. This kind of realignment is long overdue when you look at it from the public pov.
In June, I wrote an article and produced a show on the benefits from the populist left working with populist right-wing factions, and all kinds of liberals and even some leftists went ballistic.
I'm not seeing the same reaction to this very encouraging

A Unity supporter is working on a website that will pair people up
People can team up w someone they know -- relative, friend, etc
We hope people will spread the idea, be a match maker
We want people to let us know about pairings
We want people to represent the idea visually
Exactly. Don't knock a neighbor & then just cancel out their vote. Knock on their door and talk. You can save each other from wasting your votes on corrupt politicos like Trump and Biden. You can build a neighborhood and rebuild the nation.

The CPD doesn't act on behalf of the US public as Page claimed. It acts on behalf of the duopoly and their corporate backers, like their longtime sponsor -- Anheuser-Busch. They are corrupt and drunk on power. We need real debates and
#MoreVoicesBetterChoices
Biden and Trump being on the debate stage is evidence of their hyper corruption.
rfk jr’s media coverage is a sign of his. If ever this is a political leader with integrity, they would not be hyped by big media and big tech. They’d be attacked, banned and ridiculed.
Last question of the
#VPDebate
is about how citizens can come together. The answer is, they shouldn't take their example from these leaders who are manipulative and not out for the greater good. They should join together and break free of the duopoly and all its corruption.
The lesser evil thinking also deforms the wider culture. People calculate so much of what they say and do through the prism of whether it will help their "lesser evil." Progressive Democrats attack Greens who they actually agree with on policy, for example.
#VotePact
solves this.
The duopoly depends on broad acceptance of a handful of fictions, the 1st of which is the moral imperative to vote for the "lesser evil". The second is the claim that "protest votes" squander a citizen's power. Nothing could be further from truth. Fight corruption.

You and a friend can save each other from one voting for Trump and the other for Harris. Dialogue. Pair up. Vote your conscience super-strategically.
Harris & Pence at the

@Jorgensen4POTUS
and
@HowieHawkins
are pro peace. This event, like much else silences those perspectives.
#VotePact
is mostly aimed at people who are feeling like they "have" to vote for Biden or Trump because they fear or hate the other. But it can be used by people who are planning at voting Green or Libertarian to swell their ranks and ensure they maintain their resolve.
See interview with

Very happy folks interested in

Heya
@kthalps
, your interview with
@samhusseini
is getting a lot of Unity folks excited about the prospect of how we can help amplify the VotePact idea. We're all tightly aligned on this front!
Rep
@justinamash
declared his independence from the duopoly today. But it can be hard for an individual to do this. That’s why
@VotePact
encourages people to do it in pairs: an unhappy Dem & a Rep who are family or friends pair up and both go independent. Love over partisanship.
@Jorgensen4POTUS
Even more importantly, we don't have free market political system. People feel the need to vote for Biden simply because they fear Trump and vice versa. It's like buying Coke because you hate Pepsi when you really want orange juice.
#VotePact
solves this with people pairing up!
As this farce of a debate shows, we need

Trying to “push” Biden without a real strategy like is like trying to push a large ship when you are on a small floating raft.
#VotePact
can ground you.
VotePact comes with various benefits that even voting reform like RCV doesn't accomplish -- people actually work with someone from the other end of the political spectrum. The establishment wants people to write each other off, VotePact humanizes and engages people.
#VPDebate2020
is just more bickering and partisan BS. People can join together using the strategy -- a would be Biden voter and a would be Trump voter pairing up and voting for emerging parties they actually believe in.
#VoicesOfUnity
No poll we are aware of measures actual voter preference. Pollsters could do this by ask people to rank candidates 1-2-3, RCV style. Or they can ask: "Biden, Trump, Jorgensen and Hawkins are in a four-way tie. You are the tie-breaker, the deciding vote. Who do you vote for?'

If one votes for Biden and the other for Trump, they cancel each other out. If they pair up and both go to emerging parties, they build those parties and a possibility decent future.

@braverangels
Lots of people have regrets because they don't think through their actions. VotePact rejects both capitulation to the duopoly and the impulse to burn the whole thing down. It's literally an act of love toward someone you disagree with -- left and right pairing up against duopoly.
So, Jill Stein is trending bc people blame people who voted for her for electing Trump.
This is one of those cases where most everyone is wrong.
is a the center of the storm. ...
@johncusack
@samhusseini
If we don't want to spend the rest of our lives in this prison, backing candidates who are ultimately tools of the military industrial complex and Wall Street etc, is a real path out of the trap.
VotePact offers a real solution: People fed up with being manipulated can dialogue and pair up. A disenchanted Democrat and a disenchanted Republican can come together and both vote for a anti-establishment candidates coming from the left, right, radical center...
Biden continues to embrace more and more of the Republican establishment because progressives have no leverage because they are not employing an actual strategy like
@votepact
-- even people like Krystal just crit the situation. They don't put forward a *strategy* to stop it.
Some think that the mutual hatred and lousy candidates who are not responsive to the public is a problem, but the duopoly treats it like a feature: The mutual hatred keeps the system in place, many Dems & Reps gripped by fear and hatred of the other.
#VotePact
breaks this logjam.
But
#VotePact
offers an enterprising campaign -- if it is able to get votes from across the political spectrum -- a chance at actual electoral victory or at least a substantial showing. A serious question now is if
@Jorgensen4POTUS
and
@RealSpikeCohen
are up to that challenge.
@Jorgensen4POTUS
Right, but people from the left and right feel divided because of the voting system -- they feel they have to vote for their lesser evil. overcomes this problem by getting people to pair up.
#VPDebate
is tiresome rehash of continuously repeated talking points. By excluding other voices, it ensures that the same mantras are repeated endlessly. This turns off millions.
Some ask if is out to help a particular candidate. It isn't. It's ecumenical so people vote for whoever they want. We are open to all anti establishment voters -- Libertarian, Green, Constitution, Indep, write-in -- held by the duopoly's manipulative fear.
