    Well of the three links that worked (its possible dcist is affected by AWS, idk) all mentioned Stein, none mentioned de la Cruz.

    So, not really “confused” so much as deliberately misinformed? Hey, speaking of deliberately misinformed, did you read that Stein will still run in NC even though she had ‘t met the requirements? Kept there by the crooked elections board? Any ideas as to why that is?

    Would you like to say the state requirements are a deliberate attempt to stifle third party organization so I can go look up that it takes 10% of the primary and fifty bucks?

      Stein’s only focused on in one of those. RFK and West are highlighted in the others, though the articles all mention that multiple candidates are affected. But I guess I “deliberately misinformed” you by not spoon feeding it to you?

      Or this bot can’t follow links, and picked Stein out of the url?

        Ah you know what, you’re right, the first link did mention de la Cruz and I blurped right over it:

        Georgia counties have determined that Kennedy, West and De la Cruz each collected at least 7,500 signatures to qualify. Stein hopes to use a new Georgia law awarding a ballot place to candidates of a party who qualify in at least 20 other states.

        Malihi heard two challenges to Kennedy on Monday, as well as a challenge to De la Cruz. He’ll hear challenges Thursday to West and the Green Party. Malihi will issue findings to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who will make a final ruling. A decision must be made before Georgia mails military and overseas ballots beginning Sept. 17.

        My apologies, you were right there.

        That also caught my eye because the radical leftist Georgia legislature passing an election law in 2024 is sure interesting and whattaya know they’re super big on letting smaller parties run in Georgia even in they haven’t qualified in a majority of other states.

        Well that’s a huge win for the left, isn’t it! And here we all thought Georgia was a deep red shithole state with a crooked republiQan party machine ready, willing, able, and experienced at screwing over progressive voters at any and every turn.

        Looks like Georgia will soon be a worker’s paradise! Y’know unless there’s some reason this law wouldn’t promote that somehow.

          Thesis proven. Plenty of other parties. The Dems just keep them blocked from the ballot. And you apparently support that.

              Dems are also fascists. They are both enemies. They are both far right, pro-genocide parties. They gotta go.

                  The Dems were sending in the national guard to intimidate their own cities under Biden. They’ve fully and illegally supported the genocide. They oversaw the construction of Cop City style military bases near most of the metro areas in this country. And Dems issued a public thank you letter to ICE agents when the raids started.

                  Wake the fuck up.

                    You mean DC? After that nazi rammed his car into the guard gate? Right after Jan 6?

                    Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
