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.
Yes, we need an actual left, but No Labels isn’t it. They preach centrism. But from what I’ve seen they’re just a way for right wingers to try to hide the fact that they’re right wingers.
Yes, when one side is saying, “fuck peaceful group X, they don’t deserve to live.” and the other, “hey, maybe don’t hate on people you don’t even fucking know?” only a fucking moron thinks there’s an acceptable middle ground.
Centrism is the ideology of the ignorant, gullible, and stupid. Nothing more.
I wish you people would actually apply that logic to ethnic minorities
The vast majority of minorities want nothing more than to never speak to your dumb ass. Stop demonizing them, you pathetic bigot.
Yeah, with people like Lieberman and Manchin signing up for this nonsense, it’s not the hope for a better party. It’s an attempt to poach off from the rightest most extent of the Democratic coalition, while parties like the Green Party poach from the left-most extent. At least the Libertarians are poaching off ‘decent Republicans’ on the other side, but we’ve got to be smarter than the Republicans here and NOT split our coalition in a voting system that gives the nod to the party with the largest unified coalition.
