"SNIP.......

Washington Post: “Uncertainty over the $70 million No Labels ballot effort has set off major alarm bells in Democratic circles and raised concerns among Republican strategists, who have launched their own research projects to figure out the potential impacts.”

1. This has been approved by billionaires

The filthy rich are just paying for a public service spoiler.

"No Labels was launched in 2010 by former Democratic fundraiser Nancy Jacobson, with the stated goal of developing and supporting bipartisan, centrist solutions to America's problems. Billionaires Michael Bloomberg and Andrew Tisch were among initial prominent supporters."

So, the current oligarchs are fine with this fake bipartisan propaganda. I'm sure a few will buy it too. See a former Dem fundraiser is pushing it, so it must be ok.

Don't buy it. It's just another way to pull votes away from Dems....like the Green party in 2016.

Oh wait, it seems that in December 2020, No Labels announced Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican as a national co-chair to serve alongside No Labels Founding co-chair Joe Lieberman.

2. One prospective candidate is Joe Manchin. I'm sure,

we all wanna vote for him.

3. Edited for political correctness

I can't call him a weasel without disparaging a Democratic leader(?)

4. I also get discouraged with our two-party system, but there's this fucking thing called TIMING.

JFC! The extremists have more than a foot in the door of our democracy.

Bernie Sanders was right back in 2015 when he said that there are only two ways to the White House and one is through the Democratic Party and the other is through the Republican Party. That's true of most congressional and state seats as well. No other parties have the infrastructure these two have. Do we need to change that? I sure think so, but right now we have to band together to deal with the extremist Republican Party or even the Democratic Party won't mean shit, much less No Labels, or the fucking greens.

The legislation being passed in FL & TX is alarming & I try to comfort myself that it won't play on a national stage, that we are the majority, but then I remember how they have rigged the system & how they have no shame & will do anything to win. And then here comes a third party to appeal to the idealists on our side, a party that hasn't proved itself at all at winning elections, much less writing or passing legislation, but they will peel off enough votes to make the election close.
