Here's your NO LABELS Party

 


That you have it. The Lincoln Democracy Institute provides key insight on the UNDERLYING motivations for what Joe Lieberman and his RICH friends are doing hoping to UNDERMINE President Biden's chance in the 2024 election cycle.

In the fundamentalist Christian cult I was a part of in my early adult years, the "Teacher" had a potent saying about labels. It doesn't matter what's on the label. What matters is what's inside the container. (I paraphrased).

While Cornel West is not (at present) running as a No Labels candidate, his independent campaign nevertheless does aim to seduce Democrats voters wistfully intent on engineering the most Progressive American federal government. And then there's Robert Kennedy Jr. Oy!

The unfortunate fact is this method of splitting off voters is not new. In Arizona, competitive (where both sides have real opportunity to win) state legislative races over the last decades have had robust support from GOP interests. The GOP has dominated state lawmaking (except for ideas presented directly to voters in ballot initiatives). Those who control the state legislature knew that when they were able to get faux liberal or progressive candidates on the ballot, they dramatically increased the odds for Republicans winning those seats. In some instances, they succeeded. In like manner, the No Labels party is hoping to throw sand in the gears of the machinery of the Biden reelection campaign.

The danger in 2024 resides in whether they succeed in luring these idealists away from the administration which has done more for workers and families than any since FDR and the New Deal.

What happens if that scenario comes to fruition?

More Trump, less constrained.

It's up to each of us. Each of you, to make sure we do not return the modern day Mussolini to power.

Make sure YOU are prepared to vote. Make sure you do your best to get your friends and family to vote.

When we do this, just like in 2018, 2020, and 2022, we will win.
