      That’s for primary candidates. Maybe actually read the source you’re quoting before you “double down”. There are no states with requirements that would prevent a new candidate from appearing on the general election ballot.

      Reporting you for misinformation.

      Fucking LOL. Hears some trivia on social media that reinforces his biases and doesn’t wonder why no legitimate sources point it out as a problem and then jumps to calling the mods for “misinformation” when his wrong fact is rejected.

        What as a fucking independent? As a “minor political party”? (deadline for those is Aug 7 btw)

        The deadline has passed for anyone other than Joe Biden to be the Democratic nominee, and the deadline is rapidly approaching for ANYONE to be on the ballot, of any party.

        I suppose the DNC could just nullify all its own rules and send a different candidate to the Secretary of State within the next 3 weeks. How well do you think that would play over? “DNC rigs its own process to force through [candidate name here]”.

          What the fuck are you talking about? There is no Democrat specified in any sort of rules or paperwork for Ohio. The Democratic nominee is decided by the delegates. They have a deadline for submission, but not one that in any way has locked in Joe Biden. Joe Biden could withdraw or release his delegates and we could have a different candidate with no issue whatsoever.

          Amazing how you keep at this after being embarrassingly wrong about your first justification. You’re somehow committed to try to keep making a procedural argument despite being wrong about the rules you thought caused the problem. You just smoothly move on to an entirely different objection without ever recognizing that you were the one spreading misinformation. I thought misinformation was a bad thing that was important to combat, but somehow I see no edits, no mea culpas, no clearing up that you were spreading it. How are you not embarrassed?

            Notice you didn’t address that. And after all the left’s pearl clutching about “the DNC rigged the election!!! To stop Bernie!!” now you want them to do just that. Hah.

              Why would I play along with your attempt to shift the goalposts away from you lying? Have some ethical consistency. You were spreading misinformation. Go report yourself.

              It’s short enough time that a new nominee would literally be disqualified from the ballot in some states.
