Damn you guys have very liberal electoral laws.  Only the Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Greens ever get on the ballot in Texas.

PETA is running for President? That makes a dilemma for CDM.

Oxymoron Party.   :lol:


This Virgil Goode/Jim Clymer thing is listed as Independent American Party on mine. Must be my state's affiliate. But I'm pretty sure Nevada IAP and the Constitution Party are very different in ideology. Weird.

I'm gonna need a list of differences between the Socialism and Liberation Party and the Socialist Workers Party before I can decide on this one. :hmm:

Plenty of weirdos in Dallas and Houston as well.  But it doesn't matter.  The point is they jump through all the vast hoops the Democrats and Republicans have set up to keep third parties off the ballot.

Yea these are the only ones on the ballot here too. Guess that's why we live in "safe" states, huh?

Yet still manage to get around 1% of the vote or less generally. For the parties that can't even manage that, it's a greater disservice to make voters scroll past their names than to keep them off the ballot.

That's the trouble with the socialists...can't unite.

I remember in Toronto in the 90s (and possibly today) the ballot had, in addition to the main parties:

A Trotskyist Party
A Marxist/Leninist Party
A Socialist Worker's Party
and, of course, A Communist Party.

Felt sorry for the Maoists who didn't have their own party.

As a Maoist, I didn't know who to vote for. :huh:

I think Ohio's had the exact same candidates as Seedy's ballot.

I miss the days when there was a national socialist and a falangist on the ballot.

Got my first voter suppression phone call yesterday;  lady wanted to inform me that the ballot for one of the local dog-catcher offices was printed incorrectly by the State of Maryland with an independent candidate's name (who's been running local commercials), told me to write in the name for the "correct" candidate instead.   :lol:
