Republicans also tried hard to keep Perot off the ballot in '92 but I don't know if they filed any lawsuits.

But the point has already been made that BOTH the Republican and Democrat Party try to keep third party candidates off the ballots when it will hurt them. BOTH parties control the laws that allow access to the ballot. BOTH parties control who appears on national debates.



One party has a LONG history of deceiving their base, one party has a few instances.

One party swims in their excrement,none party occasionally steps in a pile of poo....

This is funny coming from the guy that claims he no longer needs any source of information to decide what is true.

Yes. I know. I "covered it" when i pointed out that you no longer feel you need one.

And your answers proves I am correct. You have no source of real info. You just believe what you want to.

Yes, so about that. Please tell me one time that Republicans sued to get a 3rd party candidate removed from the ballot?

This is something Democrats do every single year, in almost every single sstate... but I've never seen a Republican do it.


This is the thing that upsets me. There are a lot of people who have a hard time dealing with the acknowledgement that what they're supporting is bad. Especially if they've been a Democrat for so many years of their life that it's almost a way of life, or part of their identity. They get into this constant ideology of trying to mentally maneuver around these political failures to convince themselves that it's not as bad as it seems, or that somehow it was justified. This is how we get into the fallacy of "at any cost," and "the end justifies the means."

Common among this mindset too, when confronted with something a person simply cannot deny or refute, but feels necessary to defend, they go for the "everyone is bad," argument.

I've literally typed into Google, "Republicans sue to keep off ballot" ... and the only thing I get, FROM GOOGLE, is a list of 3rd party candidates that the Democrat party in multiple states (for multiple years) are trying to get removed from the ballot. Mind you... this is Google, who greatly filters results when it KNOWs the results are undesirable for Democrats. The only "Republican is bad" thing I see here, are Republicans suing to keep Biden ON THE BALLOT, and then two very left-leaning Republicans (both who ended up losing their primary if I remember correctly), trying to sue to keep Trump OFF the ballot. None of these Republican ones had anything to do with 3rd party candidates.

So, I ask again, please show me where a single Republican has sued to keep a 3rd party candidate off the ballot. I can find dozens and dozens of examples just this election for Democrats. I'm unable to find any for Republican. I'm actually shocked, because I would have been sure there'd at least be one, so I'm hoping you can find it. But it's possible maybe they aren't.


I see no problem with either party wasting their money propping up another candidate. There's nothing "undemocratic" about that.



BECAUSE IT IS A TRICK

the Gop love fake 3rd party runners
who skim votes we had several in Fla
mostly by cubans in s fla do it for pay
that is why the Gop never challenges their own fake vote stealers
and the demo are catching on to the scam the Gop is pulling

btw scum bag rhonda fired the guy who warned us of state park rape program the Gop just tryed
whistle blowers get fire by the thieving Gop
scum bags
