Trump Allies Worked To Keep Jill Stein, Cornel West on Swing State Ballots

Are... you becoming self-aware?

Third parties in the US are almost exclusively tools for siphoning votes off the main parties.

But if you still think government runs the show you are out to lunch. Corporations have been dictating policy for a long long time in the US, and the laws are only making it easier for corporations to directly own politicians.

The only one who will change this is if a huge amount of voters organizing and demanding change. Like current levels Republican stochastic terrorism, but for things like healthcare, education, workers rights, consumer rights etc.

Corporations spend a lot of time and money taking these things away from us, and we've been generally watching the middle class disappear for decades.

It will take sustained, active, pressure, and vigilance from the people to make corporate money is not worth it and politicians make decisions based on benefitting their constituents.

Unfortunately, nowadays most constituents only care about making life difficult for others instead of better for everyone including themselves.

His group, he said, was “fighting back against their vote suppression scheme, leveling the playing field, and ensuring this November’s election will be free and fair.”

That's a bit rich, a GOP group calling Dems out for vote suppression. Pot call the kettle black, anyone?

“The Democrats openly ran around this spring thumping their chests about how they were going to war against third party candidates and trying to limit the choices of the American people at the ballot box,” Collins told RealClearPolitics.

You know what though? If these folks really believe in free and fair - I want to see them spending money on elections where RCV or some other better than FPTP method is used.

Of course they wouldn't because in those cases there's no benefit to the GOP.

Progressives: The Democrats need to stop going high when the other side goes low. That's why they're always losing.

Democrats: We're going to prop up third party candidates to siphon Republican voters like they do to us.

Progressives: Not like that!

And the Dems dicked with RFK to get him to run independent instead of possibly getting a Democratic delegate. Both parties will do whatever necessary to make sure the two-party system is maintained and outsiders don't threaten their control. What else is new?
