So it's going to be Trump vs Biden vs RFK vs No Labels vs Cornel West vs Jill Stein vs Libertarian candidate

Dems are obsessed with stopping 3rd parties which is why less people buy their "democracy" stuff. I've never seen any other political party feel entitled to people's votes.

Nader is a convenient scapegoat in 2000 rather than everyone else who is actually at fault for Gore's (not-)loss.

Al Gore had 5 other chances to win besides Florida. He could have won NH, MO, NV, OH, and his home state of Tennessee. The fact that he couldn't carry any of these plus having places like Oregon closer than 0.5% shows that his campaign did not deserve to win.

Their obsessed with not letting Trump get elected (which third parties will do) so our democracy doesn't have the possibility of ending. Such terrible people!

Then Biden should be a better candidate that appeals to more people with a better message that makes more people want to vote for him.

But no, the easy route is to just bar people from the ballot.

Pretty sure he objectively is. Sorry if you can't see that!

"Biden is a good candidate who appeals to voters and therefore Democrats are right to expend energy blocking other candidates from appearing on the ballot" just is not a position that makes sense if Democrats want to be the party of protecting democracy. If they were secure in Biden's electability, they wouldn't worry about third party ballot access.

So many red avatars are delusional about Biden. I am supporting Trump but even I agree Don is flawed in many ways and as angered too many people. But saying that Biden is objectively a good candidate and that people should be excited to vote for him screams entitlement.

What the hell happened to the Libertarian party? They used to have at least respectable candidates and even Jorgensen wasn't outright terrible. However, now they nominated some gay woke neoliberal who thinks the Mises Caucus and close to half of the party is racist. Trump was right the other day except the 3% part, Oliver probably won't even get 1.3%. At least on the bright side, its the best possible Libertarian candidate Trump could have hoped for.
