    Yet again, all you need to do to be a write-in candidate is file a two-page form. That’s a simple fact whether you like or not.

      Alright i found the issue, it was an either or choice

      https://indianacitizen.org/electoral-hurdles-independent-and-third-party-candidates-struggle-to-get-on-indianas-ballot/

      the party opted to petition to get on the ballot, rather than file the paperwork necessary to be a write-in candidate.

      If you get past that irrational hatred for progressive parties I know youve got the common sense in there to know theyre not just too lazy to fill out a form.

        Yes. I know they didn’t file the necessary paperwork. That’s not my problem, that’s theirs. I don’t really care why they didn’t bother doing it. It’s their job to get their candidate on the ballot. They fucked that up royally. And you think that’s a candidate worth voting for. One who’s people would rather throw a fit than follow simple instructions.

          In July, as the signed petitions were still being reviewed by the county clerks, he said, when the Green Party had to decide if it wanted to submit the paperwork to be a write-in candidate. Doing so, he said, would have stopped the petition verification process, preventing the party from appearing on the ballot.

          Get your head out of the sand. It is not their decision whether or not theyre allowed on the ballots, it is democrats and republicans.

            I love how you are trying to find any way to get out of the fact that Jill Stein couldn’t get herself on the ballot in Indiana, so I couldn’t vote for her no matter how much you think I should have.

                  Honestly id suggest never calling yourself a democrat again after this anti-democratic spiel. Anyone not opposing these politicians efforts to keep competition from being allowed to be voted for.

                    Got it. It was a lie.

                    There is no again because I have never been a member of that party.

                    Please stop lying about me. You don’t know me.
