'No Labels'

[GURPS]

Group Scares the Daylights Out of Democrats​

The Arizona Democratic Party has filed suit to block No Labels from ballot access in that state on procedural grounds. And Republicans in several states have launched their own research projects to determine what negative impact, if any, No Labels would have on the prospects for their candidates.

But it’s Democrats who are sweating the entry of a third-party candidate with crossover appeal. And they appear to be lining up to stomp on No Labels to keep it from pulling votes away from their candidate.

“The only way you can justify this is if you really believe that it doesn’t really matter if it is Joe Biden or Donald Trump,” said Stuart Stevens, a former presidential campaign strategist for George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, who now works with the anti-Trump Lincoln Project. “So it is sort of a test. If you live in a world where it doesn’t matter, this is kind of harmless. If you live in a world where it does matter, it is dangerous.”

Is this the same as in Brewster’s Millions - “none of the above “.

If that catches on in some states, it could totally stymie elections requiring 50% + vote for the winner.

This is the first I have heard of them, but I intend to check them out.
The two parties we have are not cutting the mustard.

Joe Manchin Headed to NH With Third Party Group ‘No Labels’ as Democrats Scramble to Shut Them Down​

“Democrats have been spooked by the effort from No Labels, an organization that promotes centrist, bi-partisan policies and politics, to give Americans another option on the 2024 presidential ballot”







The Daily Mail reports:

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic Senator Joe Manchin to headline third party No Labels event in New Hampshire next week in push to give Americans a candidate other than Biden or Trump

Senator Joe Manchin is headed to New Hampshire next week for an event with No Labels as the group looks to run a third-party candidate in next year’s presidential election and frantic Democrats are trying to stop it out of fears it could siphon off votes from Joe Biden to hand Donald Trump a victory.
Manchin, a former honorary co-chair of the group, will be the headliner of the gathering along with former Republican Governor of Utah Jon Huntsman at the townhall meeting, which will take place Monday, July 17th, at Saint Anselm’s College in Manchester, No Labels told DailyMail.com.
Democrats have been spooked by the effort from No Labels, an organization that promotes centrist, bi-partisan policies and politics, to give Americans another option on the 2024 presidential ballot…
Some Democrats, however, are so concerned that a third-party candidate would take enough support from Biden to give a Trump a win that they have gone from behind-the-scenes lobbying to an out-and-out war with the group.

Democrats care so much about ‘our democracy’ that they have to shut down any group that challenges their hold on power, you see. Even groups like Move On are getting into the fight to stop No Labels.

Typical liberals. Try to destroy anything and anybody that gives the masses a choice.

I'd like to blame Democrats - but politics the world over is like this - kill the opposition.

One of the more dirty applications of this, is how Obama got his state senate seat.

In a nutshell, he had a political patron who intended to cede her seat to him (since, when one party dominates the elections, the vote doesn't matter - not even the primary). She changed her mind, and decided to run again, anyway. To get on the primary ballot, you have to acquire a requisite level of signatures on your petition. Obama was able to make the case that all of his opponents had gotten theirs fraudulently - mostly by faking names. Having eliminated the competition, he went in, unopposed and sailed through the general election, because - that's how it works in a region where there's only one party. Hey, it's Chicago.

Similar backslapping got him into the Senate, where he began his run for President after about two years there.

I don't see what the point is for Manchin to switch to "No Labels". He's pretty much going to lose re-election, and he's not going to win the White House. About the best he can accomplish is to be a spoiler, and I'm not sure WHO he'd spoil it for more.

Republicans don't appear to be operating on that agenda. They appear to be embracing not only the opposition but the *enemy*. There are only a handful of elected leaders pushing back, and the GOP attacks them way more than they do any Democrat.

They definitely work like this, unless you don't remember John Anderson or Ross Perot. Or even Ron Paul (he was kinda-sorta 3rd party). My favorite example was when he was polling in the top 3 in several states, first in a one or two, and Fox News and personalities were still introducing him as "fringe candidate and drug legalization proponent Ron Paul" on their shows then cutting him off and talking over him after every question.

Obama has been involved in dirty tricks since he got into the political game.
IMO he is running the dirty tricks against Donald Trump.
He and the Soros cabal want to destroy the country and he is doing a good job of it.
Most men leave the presidency and are happy to go into retirement. Obama still wants to be the power behind the throne.
I will be surprised if The mooch does not run.

Obama isn't the master, he's the slave.

Why does anyone think Obama is smart enough to be the Big Boss? He has shown repeatedly that he's an intellectual lightweight and complete tool. He's like one click above Kamala Harris, who is also being used by our enemies to destroy us. They tell his ass to git and do, and he gits and does. No more, no less.

I don't doubt for a minute that he is being led, but the problem is that he is in a position to be used and though he may not be the brains behind the plot, he is the mouthpiece the plotters use. IMO he has been positioned thusly ever since he got out of high School.
Someone paid for his education, Someone got him into 3 different colleges, someone got his his Senate job and someone got thi placed in the White House. Now I say someone when we all know it's a cabal. but IMO it;s a fact he has been willingly used and guided by this cabal , he was set up for it from his beginning. Like I said he may not be the brains , but he is the mouthpiece for whoever owns him.

The Teleprompter President ... if Obama speaks off the cuff, you wonder WTF he is talking about

AOC is the same, now that she doesn't have her backing any longer she comes across as more ignorant and vapid

No Labels makes push to secure ballot access in states, including battleground Georgia​

"We have a strategy to get on the ballot in all 50 states," a spokesperson told The Center Square, but when pressed for more details, they did not provide any.

"The important issue, as I see it, is that No Labels is funded entirely by dark money," Dan McMillan, founder and executive director of Save Democracy in America, told The Center Square via email. "They have the gall to pose as an alternative to the two broken parties, yet they exemplify the worst in our politics. The sheer brazenness of it boggles the mind."

The Georgia Republican Party’s state executive committee voted to place 11 candidates on the ballot for its primary on March 12: former President Donald Trump, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum; former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Texas Air National Guard Maj. David Stuckenberg, businessman Ryan Binkley, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former South Carolina Gov. and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, businessman Perry Johnson, and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina. Scott has suspended his campaign.
