      Read my links.

      Democrats fought hard to ban candidates from participating in this election.

        Your links are trash, and I’ve already dealt with them.

        Am I supposed to be sad that the Dems fought to keep RFK Jr from being a useful idiot for the GOP, and tried to stop him from siphoning votes? You know, the guy who is now going to run amok in the Trump administration with his deranged ideas about healthcare, as a thanks for his efforts?

        Am I supposed to be sad that the Dems fought against Jill Stein, a widely-known Putin-funded tool for years and years?

        Fuck no. It isn’t a betrayal of the ideals of freedom, representation, and democracy to fight against obvious sabotage of the system. There are always fools like you who will do the GOP’s work, and try to stop the Democrats from fighting them from perverting the system. You’re a tool of your enemy and too dumb to know it.

          You aint dealt with shit, you came in here saying it was made up at the start. Now youre scrambling to justify this thing you didnt even believe was true before. Youre talking about siphoning votes, you are talking about an election, about democracy. Where you as a citizen get to have your voice heard and vote for who you want to vote for. RFK, Jill Stein, Cornell West, not a one of them has any ability or authority to take votes. Every vote cast for them is freely given by the only person that should have any say in who their vote goes to. That is how democracy works, and it is the definition of fascism to try and stop that. The only democratic option a candidate has in trying to keep voters from voting for someone else, is to be a better candidate.
