That’s the whole point of the bulwark. It’s the official organ of never-trump republicans.

This. The Brits have a first past the post system. Greens now are winning mayorships and parliament seats and making deals with labor not to split the vote in their favor because they have been building local support for decades.

They are a force in their districts, so they get elected to office in their districts. Do that to a few dozen districts and you can meaningfully affect the balance of power in Westminster. Then you start getting into coalitions and supplying ministers.

You can’t just wake up once every four years and hope to be anything but a spoiler candidate.

part of the reason we have AOC today is because the election registration process is accessible to people who have limited resources but a lot of enthusiasm.

You could not have picked a worse example for your position.

AOC crosses the Ts. She dots the Is. And she sure as shit DOES NOT SUBMIT THE WRONG FORM WHEN FILLING FOR AN ELECTION.

These guys are no AOC.

Yes. The GP said all of that. The thing is, none of it matters. It’s the responsibility of the submitter to submit the correct forms. It’s bureaucracy 101.

Also, of course the forms are similar. They are from the same agency for a similar purpose. But details matter in this business.

They didn’t file the correct paperwork. They are not a victim here. They are ducking adults representing a ducking national party. You check the forms and make sure they are correct before you file them.

This is not hard. Every adult does it multiple times every year for all sorts of reasons. It’s a basic citizenship skill.

The fact that you can mess this up AND REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT like a ducking toddler makes it very clear they are not a serious political party.

When you get banned from somewhere it means they don’t want you there.

Are there technical means to avoid the ban? Sure.

Should you? Hell no.

I do love to live dangerously.

What converted me was Stargate Atlantis, which was a better take on Star Trek Voyager than Voyager ever was.

I do agree with the uncommitted: voting third party because of Palestine is for idiots.

That said, if you are a political activist, and you think your one vote is the only thing you have to offer, you need a new ducking job.

I love this!

And the fact that most statues are of men only makes this better.

WTAF Finland.

There’s a pretty big omission in this article compared to other reporting: the fact that the uncommitted movement explicitly recommended not helping trump by not voting or voting third party.

In other words, they did endorse Harris. They just phrased it differently.
