Nevada Supreme Court rules Green Party will not be on the state's general election ballot
The Nevada Supreme Court ruled the Green Party ineligible for the general election ballot on Friday, after lawsuit filed by Nevada Democrats.
The Green Party submitted 29,500 petition signatures so its candidates could be included on the ballot, which was roughly three times as many as needed. Nevada Democratic Party then sued, claiming some were signed too far in the past or seem altered, making them invalid.
We have progressed beyond third parties being unable to win.
Now they're not even allowed to try.
"""Democracy"""
25They DID try. They got under 30k people even willing to provide a signature, much less a vote, and they failed.
2Jill Stein is a Russian plant. She has no interest in winning or governing. No better than RFK
-1It can both be true that Jill Stein carries water for Russia, and that America still needs third party candidates on the ballot. You shouldn't cheer for a broken system just because it happens to lock out people you don't like.
2Conspiracy theories aren't just for Republicans anymore.

Let’s just get Kamala elected and then we can address all this stuff. Because if Trump wins, you’ll never hear from third parties again.
-6That's what everyone said with Clinton and Biden. And after Trump there will be another terrible guy.
17It sucks how Trump used his president-powers to do this.

Fucking
Shit
Unlike many things... electoral reform is 100% possible at the state level. We don't need federal reform to do away with First Past The Post voting.
Perhaps it's to late to accomplish electoral reform for this election without a general strike... but don't fool yourself that electing democrats will automatically solve our artificially limited electoral system woes.
Democrats admit themselves they understand the flaws of FPTP voting. They are 10,000% fully aware.
Just go anywhere online or leave your basement and go IRL (eww) and talk to a liberal about voting 3rd party. They will fully inform you that your vote will be wasted, how it will be a spoiler for the election. This admission has not just their hands covered in red, the whole town is painted red. The democrats KNOW about the mathematical flaws of the voting system. They bring it up EVERY SINGLE ELECTION.
Yet... First Past The Post voting persists in blue states. Who is stopping this reform, election after election, if the republicans are not in power on these states? If it's not the republicans, who wholeheartedly support FPTP voting, then who? Who is even left in a two party system? No where to hide blue conservatives, you've shown your hand.
Maine and Alaska have already accomplished this task, what the hell is the hold up in states democrats control?
Cast your "damage control vote part 69" this election. But don't leave it at that. Don't wait another 2 years and go "well guys, guess we have to vote lemon lime flavored genocide light again". Fuck that. Fix this shit. Fix it in your state. We all know that you understand the problem. So stop fucking ignoring it!

13Democrats put in more effort to sue the green party than to prosecute Trump for Jan6. Uniparty forever.
