      Yanggang is still around, but it’s not looking likely we’re getting any kind of party nomination. I think it’s microwaved Bidem for dinner this round.

      He has aligned himself with the Freedom Party. They are starting out by looking to get some traction in more local elections and their first primary goal is to push for ranked choice voting, which they think will help move beyond the 2 party system, as the winner take all idea goes away. It also should, in theory, stop candidates from playing to the extremes and force them to come together, as if you aren’t someone’s number 1 choice, you’d rather be number 2 than down at the bottom.

      They aren’t looking to run anyone for president in 2024, but we’ll see what happens after that.
