An administrative law judge is set to decide whether Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s name will appear on Georgia ballots in November following challenges by the Democratic Party.

Stein’s application seeks to use a new Georgia law that allows a political party to get on the state ballot if the party is on the ballot in at least 20 other states. Democrats say Stein’s application, filed by the Georgia Green Party, is invalid because the Georgia branch is not affiliated with the national Green Party.

I detest Jill Stein and all that she stands for.

But I have even more contempt for the undemocratic tactics of the “Democratic” party!

The exact same legal fascism RFK, Jr. nailed them on today.

If one was a Green Party voter in this situation...denied...then I’d just stay home on election day. After the election, I’d sue the state for denying me.

Maybe President Trump should find a job for her too. And Cornell West also. That would cause Deep State heads to twirl Exorcist style: the little people against the DNC.

That’s how the game has always been played. Democrats seek to remove the Green Party and Republicans seek to remove Libertarians and the Constitution Party.

Gee, it’s almost as if Democrats’ concern for democacy is relative and situational...
