In Order To Save Democracy, Democrats Look To Stop 2024 “Unity Ticket”

That’s the refrain we hear on a constant basis from Democrats and their pet media, right? That we need to save democracy. So, why do they want to block people in the general election?

A ‘unity’ ticket in 2024 presidential race? Why Democrats are objecting to 3rd-party group’s plan

A “unity” team running for the White House next year may sound farfetched — one Republican and one Democrat teaming up to share a platform and a presidential ticket — but some Democrats say they are worried that such a possibility could spoil Joe Biden’s reelection hopes.

And they’re looking to stop it.

No Labels is the group floating a bipartisan team-up if 2024 features the increasingly likely rematch of Biden versus Donald Trump, both of whom face weak approval ratings. Democrats, burned by third-party candidates who may have tipped key states in 2016 — when, for example, Hillary Clinton lost Michigan to Trump by 11,000 votes while Libertarian Gary Johnson earned 172,000 ballots — are sounding the alarm that No Labels could similarly siphon votes from Biden.

In response, Democrats are mounting a scattered effort to blunt the outside group’s efforts.

Among No Labels’ gripes are what they decry as attempts to block access to the ballot in certain states. And while both Democrats and No Labels agree avoiding a Trump presidency is a priority, the feud has sparked a debate over whether efforts to pump the breaks on a third-party bid amount to suppression or due diligence.

Don’t Democrats typically push for more access to the ballot box? Yet, here we have them attempting to squash the ability of No Labels to be on the 2024 ballot. That would sure seem to be contradictory to “saving our democracy.” Of course, Democrats do no want Democracy except in terms of everyone voting and only having the Democratic Party to vote for, much like Saddam Hussein allowed voting and he was the only one on the ballot.

Still, Chavis and No Labels’ chief strategist, Ryan Clancy, insisted repeatedly in a nearly 45-minute interview that the momentum of a ballot access campaign wouldn’t prevent the group from pulling the plug if need be.

“No Labels is on the record, we will not be a spoiler in any case … to the interests of Donald Trump,” Chavis said.

So, they’re really about trying to take out Trump (or, whichever Republican wins the primary)

The Democratic Party in Arizona is suing No Labels and the Democratic secretary of state, contesting No Labels’ status as a third party in Arizona and accusing it instead of being a “dark money” group. And in Maine, the Democratic secretary of state sent letters to residents who signed forms registering with the No Labels Party seeking to ensure they indeed meant to register.

Saving our Democracy by limiting who can run.

“No Labels is kind of the ‘Seinfeld’ of political parties. It’s a party about nothing. And I think they’re pretty clearly out there to sabotage,” said one operative, Jared Leopold.

“Absolutely, Democrats should aggressively try to stop ballot access if there is reason to do so,” he added. “There’s a lot at stake here. And I think Democrats need to play hardball.”

Or, Democrats could offer a better platform and beat them at the ballot box. To save democracy, you know.

    Since the MAGA-GOP has abandoned conservatism, America needs a true conservative choice!

    Liz Cheney 2024! An independent conservative choice for President!

    Actually, in the past 31 years, the Repub Presidential candidate has won the vote once, in 2004 when George W defeated John Kerry.

    It’s possible that Cheney would pull reasonable conservatives from Mr Biden, but that’s a risk worth taking.

  2. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    Many Republicans have now backed off their full throttled support of Mr Trump.

    Blood in the water? Not even Trump denies what he did.

    Will the electorate follow?

    If Tubby Trump falls, who will become the GOP front-runner? Ron “Trump Lite” Dee-Santis? Chris Christy?

  3. H says:

    SOROS has ordered all minions residing in states with open elections for party nominee to vote for Trump 2024!!
    Dems really really want him as the GOP Nominee

  4. L'Roy White says:

    Looks like the demonazis are fixing another election. We got a one party system now: Nazi.

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      The Republifascists know only white conservative voters are good for America.

    Based on the Bureau’s data, the real average weekly earnings for May 2023 went down, once inflation is factored in. That’s a straight 26 months of decrease.

    As the demonazis prepare the next phase in the takeover of the US by a one party racist, bigoted nazi junta I wonder if they want war or plan on just genocide.

    They have done things never before conceived by any political party in our history from burning down cities to imprisoning Americans without trial to fixing elections to now arresting the opposition candidate and not one of them has said STOP!, we are destroying our country.

    They hate us and want to kill us. If we all wait much longer it will be too late. Soon it will be too late to make America great again. Faggots and perverts are running our institutions and flaming nazis are running our government. They are erasing Whites, Christians, republicans, conservatives, straights and anyone else who believes in liberty and are replacing us with tyrants, bigots, perverts and Satanists.

    Do you realize the MSM has run 271 hours of Trump’s arrest and ZERO seconds of biden’s bribery scandal. They are already stealing the next election.
