125. I believe in and support our democratic form of government and more importantly I understand how our system works

Mar 2024

I both understand and support our democratic form of government. I have worked on voter protection efforts for year and right now I am the DNC LBJ voter protection database and a zoom call for statewide voter protection for the party. I have had a couple of poll watchers check in with me already.

Since you appear confused about our system, America has a two-party system which each major party being on the ballot in all 50 states and relevant territories. That means that the nominees of each party will be on the ballot without having to go through the ballot access process for non-major party candidates. Even if TFG drops out due to medical, legal or financial conditions, there will be a GOP on the ballot in November. Some are speculating that Nikki Haley has stayed in just in case TFG has to drop out so that she will be the heir apparent.

Unlike Bannon, Stone, Putin and others who are trying to use RFK Jr. to cheat, I support the two-party system. The Republican Party will have a nominee on the ballot in November in addition to a handful of minor/third/fringe parties. Given yesterday's ruling by the SCOTUS, it is clear that we cannot count on the courts to prevent TFG from being re-elected and must work hard to keep this election from being stolen such as what happen in 2000 with Nader and 2016 with Putin/Stein. That is one reason why I am in the statewide virtual boiler/war room right now.

The only persons who are pushing RFK Jr. to get onto the ballot in all 50 states are people who what to cheat the system such Putin, Roger Stone and Steve Bannon.



I am sad that you are pushing for RFK Jr. to be on the ballot in all 50 states and that you are supporting the efforts of Putin, Stone, Bannon and TFG to steal this election.

Again, just because you are supporting Bannon's efforts to steal this election does not mean that I do. President Joe Biden is going to running against the GOP nominee and a couple of third party/minor/fringe candidates. I support President Biden running against other candidates. This is how our system is supposed to work.

Again, good luck with your efforts to help Bannon and company try to steal the election with RFK Jr.
