The Olympics have now ended, but America’s favorite Un-American sport (aside from stuffing our mouths with freedom fries), is Presidential ballot blocking. This un-Democratic behavior is in need of illumination, examination and change. Many may be unaware of election malfeasance. Some may just be thankful for having someone else make up their mind for them.
So stop and imagine that you are a 3rd party candidate running for office of President, and have obtained the required Olympic paperwork to include millions of verified signatures. You’ve paid all the fees, and have abided by each state’s myriad of rules & the application filing timing. And thereafter, you receive a ballot approval! Hooray! We’re off to the horse track, right?
Well, not so fast, Pilgrim! After jumping through ballot certification hoops, requiring monumental effort & expense, 3rd party candidates must wait for the Secretary of State’s approval (*hint-this party is not a priority so it can sit a bit, kind of like a Trump trial date). When candidates finally receive ballot approval, there is yet another hurdle.
Because one party, in particular, does not want 3rd party on the ballot, a canner of lawsuits, await you, courtesy of the DNC & their SuperPacs. Multiply these lawsuits times 50 states+ for each state that you have submitted for ballot certification.
Multi-millions are spent by the DNC, to take out their competitors. Rather than money allocated for positive change, the multi-millions are spent for extreme opposition warfare and ballot blocking.
The ballot “challenges” are never about the qualification process, of which 2 candidates are automatically approved (one, a felon, the other, uh, the recipient of a mutinous group? The DNC, aka D&C [dilation & curettage, a procedure to remove tissue from inside a uterus]), has its own extermination team helping, called a SuperPac.
Whether or not you would consider voting for a 3rd party candidate, it should be known that the DNC & its SuperPac, Clear Choice Action, has been very clearly & actively removing any choice for voters. The voting public has been schooled by the fair and balanced main stream media that these 3rd party ballyhoos are “spoilers.” And that Democracy depends on the correct & only the ordained vote [cue the church angel voices].
The DNC & Clear Choice Action SuperPacs (a whole cottage industry) have a mission, politically motivated assassination & elimination, by smearing, censoring and blocking ballots of 3rd party candidates, ie, Jill Stein, Cornel West and the most targeted & the biggest threat, Robert F Kennedy jr.
To test the theory of smearing, do an internet search for the name, Robert F Kennedy & see if you can find anything at all favorable. More than likely, on most every online search & published article, you will not easily find Rfk jr’s long list of admirable ecological advocacy. Nor will you find Kennedy’s many lawsuits won against big polluting companies such as Monsanto, on behalf of poisoned people. Instead, you will find MSM tabloid-like articles (worms & bears, anyone?), 99.999% that begin with the description, “the anti-vax conspiracist.”
For those who only read & absorb MSM (the political trumpet of billionaires), isn’t it odd & suspicious that these sources repeat & repeat, the exact same disparaging verses? To illustrate online control, an old “spook” once said to me, “Anything that is online is because they have allowed it to be.”
Mark Twain once said, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” For the purpose of truth and to correct the record for this maligned man, Rfk jr is NOT, an anti-vax conspiracist. He is PRO-SAFE medicine.
Rfk jr & his family do have the sanctioned magic force field of vaccination, as he and his family are all vaccinated, just as God intended (or did He or She intend…? The Amish might argue). But America does love a good Salem witch hunt vax story, though, doesn’t it?
And no, Rfk jr’s family does not hate him with many of his family working directly with him. Do you ever wonder why the Main Stream Media loves to disparage a good man or sway you with false stories or try lead you in a direction of divisiveness?
For those who don’t know, Robert F Kennedy jr has been lauded for his analyzing of science & medical literature. He has stated that if you find false information, and can prove it to him, he will correct his stance. Kennedy’s life as an enviromental hero and an attorney, suing big chemical companies & his multitude of wins, are due to his ability to analyze the facts precisely & correctly, to the letter of the law.
Isn’t it amazing how intelligent & articulate Robert F Kennedy Jr can be when his noggin is harvesting “brain worms”? (In case you have not peeked behind the MSM white curtain, brain worms & bear/whale carcass stories are courtesy of the DNC paying the MSM to sway moron voters who cannot think beyond stories implanted into their brains. The DNC/MSM likes to put brain worms into the minds of the American public, which it finds so easy to do!).
Recently the DNC & their SuperPac sued Robert F Kennedy jr—AGAIN! Go Team Blue! Kennedy was on trial for a week in New York.
The week of litigation served several purposes: to take Kennedy out of commission & to drain his resources, and ultimately to disqualify his NY ballot. The DNC has continued the pillaging of each state, particuarly the battle ground ones to remove 3rd party candidates from the ballots. Defamations and ballot blocking- just good ol’ American Democratic horseplay!
And remember when people were so ecstatically posting Kamala Karma? Well, some are stating that this tampering with ballots and denying 3rd party, such as Rfk jr on the ticket, could backfire on Kamala. What do they say about karma?
Some horse betters are muddying the track, by saying Rfk jr was posed to take more votes from Trump. Ohio PhD professor of political science, Dr David B Cohen, shared with Newsweek that “Trump has a real incentive to get Kennedy out of the race.” Apparently, 2 parties have a reason to remove Rfk jr, ignoring that some American voters want a free & fair Democratic election and the freedom to choose a President themselves.
To go back in time to the last 3rd party rabble rouser, Ross Perot, in 1992, it was then that the red/blue team decided to make the rules even more stringent for 3rd party candidates. They decided that they would make it nearly impossible for 3rd party to get onto a ballot.
The DNC did not expect that Kennedy, Cornel West or Jill Stein would carry such popularity, nor was it expected they would have the stamina and money to meet the changing ballot goal posts. These 3rd party candidates have had amazing resilience, in spite of the horse race flogging (Goooo Sea Biscuit!)!
The 2 annointed candidates, Harris & Trump did not have to qualify for any ballot. Nor will these 2 candidates face being sued in 50 states to keep them off the ballot, as they are presumptive candidates.
Lying, cheating and stealing apparently no longer matter, as long as we defeat Donald J Trump! Ironic, isn’t it? The DNC talks about Trump being a man surrounded by fraud, and yet what is the DNC doing? Silencing voices and free choices, and blocking ballots, anything to win! Could these actions be construed as voter suppression &/or election interference? Isn’t that the charge of which we accuse Trump?
Americans, we were once proud of our free & reliable press, and our first amendment right, free speech. We share with other nations, our just and Democratic fair elections in America. However, in this election, with the 2 choices already made for us, aren’t we just taking lessons from Putin and Kim Jong Un?
This election has already been a crazy ride. But let it be known, the 3rd party are wild horses that will only take so much flogging before they will bolt off running. And American voters, like stubborn stallions & mustang horses, really do not like having someone tell them for whom they must vote. Me—I’m rooting for Sea Biscuit
Zara, I came here from your Seabiscuit post on the God Pod. (I was looking to see if I’m going to be excommunicated for my criticism of the centrist Democrats.) I live in California so it doesn’t matter who I vote for for president, but for the past 60 years, i’ve been refusing to vote for the preordained candidates. When people say I’m throwing away my vote, and I reply then we should have ranked choice voting so I can vote my actual choice but say if that one doesn’t meet the threshold give my vote to the lesser of the remaining evils, then I get a lecture about positive versus normative. Yeah I’m sorry. I’m focusing on what should be. My whole life in fact. So? Maybe if more people were obsessed with what should be, then maybe it would be. Anyway, I like your style. Keep it up.
Sea Biscuit was one of my heroes growing up and now at 60 I’m happily giving my vote to RFK Jr. if for no other reason than to give the proverbial finger to the two party racket system and hopefully usher in a new presidential election that gets rid of the electoral college and has ranked voting!! These bought and paid for “news” outlets should be ashamed of their blatant attacks on our election process. Thank you for your thought provoking and well written post.
