The No Labels organization keeps crying that Democrats who oppose them, "Why are you against democracy?" Yet the leaders will choose their presidential ticket in the equivalent of the old smoke-filled room. The Democratic and Republican primaries and caucuses elect delegates who choose their parties' nominees. (When there's an incumbent president, the party rarely has a contest, as in 1996, 2004, 2012, 2020 and now, but there have been such contests in 1968, 1980 and 1992.)
Now they've gone to court to stop their own 15,000 Arizona No Labels Party voters from electing candidates for state and federal offices in a primary despite the law in Arizona. Why? That would force them to follow Arizona election laws and disclose their top-secret donors! https://apnews.com/article/no-labels-arizona-lawsuit-third-party-2024-d2761fdeb3f7ef5ef923c433c686d2d7 https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.azd.1349354/gov.uscourts.azd.1349354.1.0.pdf https://ballot-access.org/2023/10/19/no-labels-party-sues-arizona-secretary-of-state-to-block-the-state-from-holding-a-primary-for-no-labels/#comments |

| No Labels has no candidate in the race. The Trump and Biden people whining about any little threat to their power can stop trembling in their boots. It's going to be okay people. Only Trump and Biden will have a chance in the 2024 election. |

| We could use a "No Lapels" party, though. |

| I would be all for getting us out of this two party rut… but not this year. Too much at risk for another Trump presidency. |

Awwww. Sorry Harlan. Your billionaire self will have to suffer through another Biden presidency. Relax. You will be fine. |

Agree but let's hope Biden decides to back out of the race for a second term so that we don't actually have another Trump presidency. |

So follow this through....if Biden backs out, who would replace him? |

Biden himself won’t even suffer through another Biden presidency!

Good question. Whitmer maybe? Any normal candidate under the age of 70 would crush Trump. |

By what process? It will be a back room deal, and what do you think happens with, you know, the sitting Vice President? |

So for those of you "both siding" the parties and suggesting some unicorn "middle" candidate...
Trump has told us he will use the instruments of state to go after his enemies. He has told us he will ban abortions without exceptions. He has told us he will withdraw from NATO. He has told us he will cede Ukraine to Russia. He has told us China and North Korea are not enemies. He has told us the EPA will no longer exist. What world do you envision this leaves for us and our grandchildren? |

People aren't as dumb as you think they are and most people do not want to make the mistake of electing Trump or Biden on 2024. No excuses, nothing else to be said |

By what process? Biden simply announcing that he is no longer seeking a second presidential term and then a normal primary process proceeds with hopefully normal candidates jumping into the race for the nomination. Not likely to happen and basically unprecedented but if there ever was a time when the incumbent would be doing their party and the country a favor by not running, that time is now. There is too much on the line for the Dems to run someone that may or may not beat the most beatable candidate in American history. Trump can and should be crushed. |

When you have an incumbent, you don;t subject the party to a primary process. You use the time and money on the general election. this is entirely unrealistic. |
