The Democratic Party is launching an “all-out war” to block third parties from appearing on the 2024 US election ballot. This is in response to declining support for President Biden and the Democratic Party. The World Socialist Web Site has published articles exposing these anti-democratic efforts, which have received widespread attention and support on social media. Third party candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West have condemned the Democratic Party’s actions as an assault on democratic rights and voter choice. The Socialist Equality Party has also voiced support for the right of independent and third party candidates to access the ballot, connecting this to the broader fight against the corporate-controlled two-party system.

    Oh fuck off with this bullshit. First off, the source is suspect. Secondly, point me to any attempts by Democrats to block third parties from being on an open ballot. I can’t read that website at work, but you are going to need a lot more than one or two policy changes/laws enacted to call something “all-out war.”

    This is more of the same anti-Biden shit that OP posts over and over, never once acknowledging that everything they complain about would be worse under pretty much any other president.

      Dump: “I wamma be a dictator on day 1 with all the reverence of Kim Jung Un. I hope to do this with the su- suppo- um- help of the very democracy loving Vlad Dr- Putin. Any one who doesnt like it deserves the gulag, or to be thrown to my brown shirted pooed boys. Also queer folk and those with more than one X chromosome are either subhuman, or undeserving of life entirely.”

      Status Quo Joe: “I want more of the neoliberal policies that put America on the top of the world food chain. I don’t mind your being exploited for profit, or the third world, but I also don’t mind you thinking for yourself and electing different choices which I and my buyers dont like. Climate change is going to fuck you, and Id feel worse if my backers cared, so how about you save that issue for when you have more of your own in power?”

      Lemmy Shills: “omg theyre literally the same. Democracy is dead. America is dead and devoid of culture. Anything American media says must be a lie if its positive, or true if its negative.”

      And round and round we go!!! This shit stopped being possible to tackle on reddit after u started picking up bans everywhere for going against the narrative on what were once leftist spaces. I hope lemmy fairs better. Dont let the newcomers straying in fall for these incendiary tactics.
