9.26.2024 -- NLS -- Ranked Choice Elections Dangers and the Ukraine Funding Fallacy
Manage episode 442121681 series 3589417
On this episode of the Neal Larson Show, Neal breaks down false binary of choosing to support Ukraine with endless funds versus allowing Vladimir Putin to take over Europe. Such a false dilemma oversimplifies this complex issue. Neal also discusses attitudes toward giving parents more choice in their children's education. He critiques the lack of open conversation about ranked choice voting, which will appear as Proposition 1 on the Idaho ballot. Some former Republicans are among the biggest Prop 1 supporters and Neal questions the motivations behind ranked choice voting proponents. The initiative is being quietly pushed, bundled with open primaries. Deceptive marketing hides the more controversial aspects of Prop One and there is growing tension around it. Idahoans need to understand how ranked choice voting would fundamentally change the election system and outcomes. Neal also touches on Donald Trump's potential return to power, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the war profiteers benefiting from it.
