Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They already shut it down because they didn't make the required representation and filings.
Can you imagine a democrat candidate being left out of an election on a form technicality?
No, because they seem to be competent enough to run their campaigns, and have decent legal representation.
The fact that you even ask this question, realizing that this has not been an issue for Democrats or Republicans in the past really illustrates the pointed nature of your question though 🤦
Of course it hasnt, theyre the ones in power. Theyre the ones making and deciding on forms and regulations and choosing which challenges to eligibility go to courts they control
So...let me get this straight here: nobody else is having these issues, and The Democrats , Republicans, and Independents all did their homework and submitted the right material, but the Green Party fucked it all up and it's still everyone else's fault?
You're definitely the kind of person the Green Party wants to recruit! Go and sign up.
Its hard to have issues that you're the one causing for others. Just about all third parties are having the same issue. Green party, socialist party, constitution party.
And yet...nobody else is. So you automatically assume it's rigged against the "underdog", and that they're not completely incompetent and refuse to hire professionals who do this shit for a living, a long with proper legal representation.
🤡
Oh plenty of other people are having the same issues of republicans and democrats kicking them off the ballots
