[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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!

If you actually read the first article, it is apparent that the lawsuit is to stop a political dirty trick, an attempt by a partisan to work around state law to get the names of the No Labels donor list.  Such a list would of course be useful for Democrats to directly pressure independents and moderates not to support anyone other than the annointed Joe Biden.

How Democratic was the nomination process of Joe Biden in 2020?  Some might argue that the Democratic Party establishment stepped in to save the Biden candidacy in South Carolina after he had been rejected by voters in Iowa and New Hampshire.  And now, according to you, voters should not get a choice in 2024 either.
