More than 15,000 people in Arizona have registered to join a new political party floating a possible bipartisan “unity ticket” against Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
While that’s less than the population of each of the state’s 40 largest cities, it’s still a number big enough to tip the presidential election in a critical swing state. And that is alarming people trying to stop Trump from winning the White House again.
The very existence of the No Labels group is fanning Democratic anxiety about Trump’s chances against an incumbent president facing questions about his age and record. While it hasn’t committed to running candidates for president and vice president, No Labels has already secured ballot access in Arizona and 10 other states. Its organizers say they are on track to reach 20 states by the end of this year and all 50 states by Election Day.
Ah, I remember when I thought voting third party would matter. Hey kids. Take it from someone who voted for Johnson in 2016. I get that voting strategically fucking sucks, and you want to make your voice heard, but it is not worth getting Donald Trump elected just to be part of the 3% that said “I don’t like either of these people.” With any luck, third parties won’t give the presidency to republicans next year, and one or two supreme court justices will die or retire in the next five years, allowing us to start repairing our rights. Because justices nominated by Biden will suck, but justices nominated by Trump (or God forbid, Desantis) will suck in the same ways and much, much worse.
On the other hand, Trump might destroy America. Try to focus on the silver linings!
Can’t wait for Democrats to blame everyone in America except for themselves if Biden loses.
You mean… like when trump lost? and he still refuses to accept that he lost. because that’s fucking impossible, right? obviously everyone else cheated- because he did. And would, and will always cheat.
Except when Trump lost, Republicans stormed the capitol and killed a cop. Democrats won’t do that. They’ll just whine.
Fucking yeah. I would hope so. How is that not better than an attempted coup?
If Trump wins again we’re going to have bigger problems.
