If I'm not mistaken, a lot of states have election registration deadlines that make it impossible for someone to mount a sudden third party run after the results of a primary are known. Neera and the horse and the rest of the succ might wish they could but they won't actually be able to get someone else on the ballot.

They'd have to start now, pretty much.

the most notable thing of all the "obama and other establishment dems suddenly realize bernie could actually win" isnt that they all hate bernie and hope he doesnt win, everyone knew that, but that all these political professionals somehow hadnt seriously considered the possibility yet. its dumber than all of the shook nate columns from 4 years ago that trump was a fringe candidate who cant win the primary as he drew bigger and bigger stadium-filling crowds and was on tv 24 hours a day and made the entire primary campaign about him

starting with teddy roosevelt in 1904, the winner of missouri also won the presidency, except eisenhower in 1956 and obama in 2008 and 2012. obama came within .13% in 2008 and Trump won by 19 in 2016.

between truman in 1948 and clinton in 1992, california voted republican in every election except LBJ's landslide over Goldwater in 1964.

things that have been true for a long time in politics can and do shift quickly.

There are a few states like Oklahoma where it is impossible to be listed on the ballot at a third party presidential candidate.

Congress could do the right thing and end that sort of nonsense, but they haven't.

i'm pretty sure that there was a libertarian candidate in 2016 in the OK general.



the barriers to getting on the ballot as a third party are extremely high in OK tho, it's pretty bad and needs to change

Always better to be the fourth person to get onto something than the 40,000th. Also the fact they were willing to take a risk means they are bit easier to trust, as you know they aren't going to get spooked by a temporary reversal of fortune.

i just didnt think so many would even entertain the fact that sanders might win, even with all polls pointing in that direction. its a good sign, imo, means there will be less dead-enders that refuse to accept that he is doing well.

outside of the KHive, of course, but they dont exist outside of twitter

I think posters saying the shitlibs will vote for trump over bernie are wrong.

It'll be like with Obama where he couldn't win and he was unelectable until he was the nominee and then won. Then he was never in doubt and all the people saying he was unelectable then said he was the greatest president in our lifetimes.

I also think they'll try to water down what he wants to do and act as speedbumps but they will be dragged kicking and screaming into the future.
