Libs get very mad if you mention you are not voting for KKKamala HarriSS

It is like they don't even understand how the electoral system works or something.

It is quite literally throwing your vote away to vote for her. She is not going to hurdle that margin folks, matter how much she tries to get right wing votes and endorsements.

Hey libs, move to a swing state if you care so much.

If you're not going through a party, you generally need a bunch of signatures. I checked Alabama, because it's early in alphabetical order and has three congressional candidates running unopposed, and they require signatures from at least "3% of all votes cast for governor in the district in the last election."

"Through a party" being defined as what? Is there a specific defined mechanism the parties get to bypass the rule on that smaller ""parties"" could fuck around with?

[-] the_itsb@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

the initial paperwork and ongoing reporting requirements for a party would make that a harder feat than gathering signatures

it is intentionally difficult
