Banning political opponents from participating in an election is the end of democracy already.

Yessir, reporting to defend democracy from efforts to keep candidates off ballots
Oh yeah you knew all about this firm and all of its members activities before this story. Theres just so many ballot access consultancy firms specifically fighting against democrats efforts to obstruct democracy.
What an echo-chamber cop-out. Asking for claims to be backed up is trolling
Democrats litigate to deny a candidate ballot access, candidate hires non-democrat lawyer to defend herself and democracy.
I like the assumption that if she did get the office all that would immediately take effect.
Well if youre just gonna flat out lie
And youll make sure they never do anything. Never cut back on military spending, or stop climate change acceleration, or raise minimum wage, or stop genocides, or empower unions, or fix healthcare
She’s trying to achieve goals in the face of you, and democrats, and the democrats massive legal team, and the democrats massive amounts of money and wealthy members, all doing everything they can to fight against those goals.
Tired of this impossible standard that candidates that you are actively opposing succeeding need to succeed for your approval.
You just try to grab onto any difference you can see, starting with a conclusion that she’s bad and then working backwards trying to find a reason. She runs for president because that office is responsible for the bulk of issues she wants to address. To start, theyre called the green party for a reason, the president appoints the head of the EPA and Department of Energy. And foremost the president is head of the military, and she’s had a long outspoken position against the US’s absurd military. The expenses, the wars, the invasions, the abuse of human rights domestically. Throw in the departments of labor and homeland security and its a huge converging point for progressive goals.
The democratic senate nominee for my state also has never held a political office.
How do you expect someone to get elected if being elected is a prerequisite.
She continues political work. Talks, events, promoting other green party people. Stuff that doesnt make headlines.
Ah its that darn work experience required but how do you get work experience paradox.
By this logic we should never elect new politicians.
Lets elect them so we can see who’s right
Oh just kidding, they hate proportional representation for some reason
They did. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada-democrats-sue-to-block-green-party-from-2024-ballot
They resubmitted the signatures with a form given to them by the secretary of state.
Absolutely no one weighing in on this seems to care about the intent of the forms, only that theres a technicality to bar a candidate they dont like from participating in democracy. The form is for submitting petition signatures to show enough support to appear on the ballot, and both submissions of the form contained 3 times the required number of signatures.

This is from back when they submitted the correct form, with around 3 times the required number of signatures. Democrats challenged it, the green party requested a new form, and the details of that incident are in OP’s article. The secretary of states office gave them the wrong form, they again submitted 3 times the required number of signatures, and democratic majority supreme court kicked them off the ballot.
Cant believe they wouldnt just choose to win office
Goddamn thats some hypocrisy
I dont believe there is a single stated belief from Stein in the entire article
Jill and every other third party candidate is banned from several state elections. Write ins arent allowed in most states.
