Independent presidential candidate Cornel West will not make Pennsylvania's ballot after the battleground state's Supreme Court on Monday upheld a lower court ruling, and counties started printing ballots.
The way third parties are being shut out this election cycle really highlights how undemocratic the US actually is. Democrats are shutting out their spoilers, Republicans are shutting out their spoilers, you are not allowed to vote for anyone but the two ruling parties.
Absolutely agree. Even me posting about third parties here has brought more hate and mockery than I’ve ever experienced, even on Reddit! People can be toxic. lol
But all the backlash has only made me more determined to keep posting news about third parties!
I believe in people having options and diversity in political opinions. :)
Of course you will because you’re most likely 1) a disinformation agent who is being paid to post these ridiculously stupid opinions, or 2) someone who is a “useful idiot” and genuinely believe that voting 3rd party is a complete waste of a vote when these 3rd parties do nothing for 4 years and only show up on election year to try and steal votes from Democrats.
What percentage do the names of the literal entirety of current elected green officials you listed, as granularity as local elections, represent of the total elected positions? Hint: in 1992 that total was about 520,000 people.
Edit: lol didn’t even realize you included former appointments.
Friend, I’m not voting for her. But the green party does more than just run for president. Now if you wanna argue percentages, ok, cool. But they do run for offices, as I’ve shown you.
With something like 50% appointment rate, largely due to uncontested elections. In other words, less than 250 run compared to 520k other party contenders. This is less than .05% green, yet they think they should be on 100% of presidential races.
I wouldn’t believe your “explanation” if you gave one.
So then what’s the point of accusations then? Because you’ve just admitted that you will believe what you wanna believe. So maybe you should let it go.
Some things are true, whether you believe them or not. And I’ll keep posting any articles that I find interesting. Thank you! :)
I didn’t make accusations did I? Look, you’re welcome to block me of you don’t want to see my comments on the articles you post.
Voting 3rd party in a US election = not getting a say in which of the actual candidates gets elected. I’ll keep reminding folks about that unless you’re trying to say certain viewpoints shouldn’t be freely expressed…
You have a narrative you wanna push, all because I am not voting for you candidate.
I’m fine with you being against 3rd parties. You keep arguing against them, I’ll keep arguing for them. Unless you’re trying to say certain viewpoints shouldn’t be freely expressed.
I’ll keep posting. And you keep posting.
As long as the news reports on them, I’ll post them. :)
Woah. I’m not anti 3rd party. Don’t put words in my mouth.
It’s just stupid to vote for any third party in this election. I think we should have ranked choice and a number of election reforms to allow for viable 3rd parties. But 2 months before a wanna be dictator is on the ballot isn’t the time.
Be honest. You’re really just trying to get trump elected by making everyone doubt everyone elses intentions. You are just trying to sow discontent and confusion.

This is patently false. Why are you lying?
No one should vote for these green or third party candidates because they are not serious or legitimate.
They disappear after every election and do nothing for downballot candidates.theyre also paid by foreign actors.
In YOUR opinion. But I, and many others, do and will vote third party. No matter how mad you are.
Having said that, I wouldn’t vote for West.

Oh sure sure. That’s the reason. 🙄
Thank God you’re here to make sure everyone remembers they can chuck their vote into a hole if they don’t care who wins.
I don’t have to explain anything to you. Believe me or not. I don’t care.
But I’ll keep posting. Thank you!

I didn’t write the article. So what “ridiculously stupid opinions” are you talking about?

My point was they don’t only run pres elections.

Even if those options do nothing but help elect trump.
Be honest. You’re really just trying to get trump elected not 3rd party candidates cuz u know 3rd party candidates can’t get to 270

That makes no sense
Makes exactly the same amount of sense as the thing I was accused of. What part confuses you?
No, it doesn’t. Just repeating a statement, slightly modified, doesn’t mean it makes sense.
I can’t help you understand it. Good luck!
Because there’s nothing to understand. Have the day you deserve!
