A third party signed up 15,000 voters in Arizona. Democrats worry that's enough for a Biden spoiler

More than 15,000 people in Arizona have registered to join a new political party floating a possible bipartisan “unity ticket” against Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

More than 15,000 people in Arizona have registered to join a new political party floating a possible bipartisan “unity ticket” against Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

While that’s less than the population of each of the state’s 40 largest cities, it’s still a number big enough to tip the presidential election in a critical swing state. And that is alarming people trying to stop Trump from winning the White House again.

The very existence of the No Labels group is fanning Democratic anxiety about Trump’s chances against an incumbent president facing questions about his age and record. While it hasn’t committed to running candidates for president and vice president, No Labels has already secured ballot access in Arizona and 10 other states. Its organizers say they are on track to reach 20 states by the end of this year and all 50 states by Election Day.

    If you cannot distinguish between a wannabe dictator and an authority figure using their authority, you might be too fucking stupid for politics.

          I’m a minority, so no, I won’t shut up, but thanks for showing me why you people are just as bad as republicans. You think it’s ok to demonize marginalized people and I don’t think that’s right.

        The authority being unjust is wholly different than a fucking despot attempting a coup… Again, if you cannot understand the difference, you are too stupid for politics.

        Listen, I get where you’re coming from: I don’t think any branch of the US government has legitimate power, and their authority is as farcical as if some watery tart had lobbed a scimitar at them and declared them king of the Britons.

        But regardless, lots of people believe in the intersubjective reality of “America” and while they’re all collectively insane, they can use violence to get what they want. I’d rather they use violence to not kill my children.

        Plus, Democrats are weak so if we kill the Republican party we’ll have an easier time overthrowing the capitalist Democrats.
