Wow, a state legislature that has actually decided to govern with a coalition that resembles the populace ideologically, rather than engaging in partisan, extremist sniping.
We can’t have THAT.

This is what happens when a shitty Republican wins the office of Governor.

Yes, yes and yes. China is cast as one Big Bad Wolf.
But *who* is pulling China's strings as well as Dr. Evil's strings from behind the WEF's Curtain??
Could it be...The Jesuits? (who NEVER conspicuously get any "credit" as a Puppetmeister)...The Vatican?? (Whose recent agenda and actions are as far from the Way, Truth and Life Gospel of Jesus Christ as is The UN.)
Schvab, Gates, Prince/King Chaz are the public face of the whole Luciferian / Georgia Guidestone Agenda. Their (pecking) marching orders from the upper capstone Luciferians in HIGHER Places.
Great rest of your post, btw.
As to the ignorant Libs, Leftist, Marxists, Anarchists, and anti-Christs of ALL demographics, they are already spiritually blinded to ALL Truth. IOW, the ZOMBIES Hollywood often refers to in their predictive programming.

Maybe the 3 are nutcases. I don’t know them. But why hold off on stating their intentions of governing until AFTER the election?? Why not campaign on the fact that you would ostracize fellow Republicans if you deem them to be “nutcases”? Certainly that would resonate with the voters of those “nutcases” were so unstable that the Democrats running against them lost.
BTW - looks like you’ve run out of points to make if you are jump to personal insults right out of the gate. Do better.

This is usurpation of power and precurser to eliminating the Electoral College -- which is "Democracy" that's no different than the raw votes numbers.
OK, professor.

AKA, politically "Designated Overlord Phony Eunuch" -- or "DOPE" for short.
What we've discovered in Nov 2020 (and recently with all the unpopular Dems that won Fetterman, Hochul, etal:
tPTB / Donkeys can install ANY Puppet they want in ANY Election they want -- no matter what avalanche of Republcan Voters "vote".
This "Coalition" idea is a brilliant scam for Dems.

More so, the people voted for their representative. The people does not exist as a monolithic entity at the state level when you are dealing with representatives. You have a say in your rep. You have no say in the other ones.
The people they elected won and are governing as they feel appropriate. If the people don’t like it, they can vote them out next time, one rep at a time.

You precious, naive person.
How much do you know about Alaska politics? Here you are, yet again arguing shite you have no clue about.

How familiar are you with ranked choice voting? I'll assume not at all based on your post.

This is the dumbest comment in this thread by far.
Ignorant and totally unashamed.

This isn't how ranked choice works, chief.
But you're the idiot who thinks they're "bipartisan"

I’m very familiar with how it works. The person who got the majority of the votes won in each election. The people who did not win, by and large, did so because they did not attract enough second and third place votes. They appealed to a smaller part of the electorate overall, so yeah, I’d say the people got who they wanted per the rules of the election.

It only took two weeks to determine this. Amazing.
No one trusts Alaskas system, and its not transparent. I can guarantee you that ranked choice will be overturned.

Exactly, complaining about the ranked choice after the fact is like the Dems complaining about Trump winning in 2016 with less popular votes. Everyone knew the rules. Go win. If you can’t, then you need a better message.
