Republicans do not fight to keep 3rd party candidates off election ballots, even though the Libertarian Party gets far more votes than the Green Party,and those votes come from mostly right wing voters.The party that champions itself as the party of democracy spends millions of dollars on attorneys nationwide trying to keep left wing candidates off of state ballots.
A pro-Putin party founded by Nazis has just won the Austrian election. Sinclair Lewis’ 1935 novel: “It can’t happen here.” is something Amercians need reminding of. False balance and equivalence has addled the brains of too many. It Can't Happen Here is a 1935 dystopian political novel by American author Sinclair Lewis.[1] Set in a fictionalized version of the 1930sUnited States, it follows an American politician, Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, who quickly rises to power to become the country's first outright dictator (in allusion to Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Nazi Germany), and Doremus Jessup, a newspaper editor who sees Windrip's fascist policies for what they are ahead of time and who becomes Windrip's most ardent critic. The novel was adapted into a play by Lewis and John C. Moffitt in 1936.[2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Can't_Happen_Here
you are saying republicans don’t champion democracy? Republicans fund the Green Party specifically to take votes away. And republicans play their own games (like Gerrymandering to reduce the value of voters)
Giving the Green Party money to help get on ballots gives voters more choices/candidates/options thus is actually pro democracy. Of course republicans play the gerrymandering game,but so do democrats every time they are able to. Democrats are the ones who thinks that if you are left wing and want to fulfill your civic duty to vote your only choice should be to vote democrat.
