The question is if the laws the democrats and republicans in Arizona worked together to pass to limit who is on the ballot apply to incumbents. Because as far as I can tell rules as written you need something like 35,000 signatures to appear on the ballot as an independent. Maybe she can join the Libertarians or something.

35k in a state the size of AZ isn’t much of a hurdle if you can afford to pay signature collectors and get started early

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Interesting (I know nothing about this). drat so are the Green Party just that big of fuckups? Okay that's a rhetorical question I guess.

The green party probably just doesn't have anyone putting up the money you'd need to hire the signature gatherers. they usually get paid something like $1 per signature they get. who's going to give $35,000 plus overhead to the arizona green party?

Yeah it’s a chunk of change and you don’t stop at 35k you probably go for well over that unless you’re dumb because some number will be invalidated - yeah it’s just a resources thing that a sitting senator has access to and the greens usually won’t

For sure. And they really aren't organized in any meaningful fashion anyway. Even when it was a lot easier to get on ballot they didn't always manage to do it.

Covid is over if you're getting daily PCRs, require the help to wear masks, get boosted quartler, and already have a 10-20 day regimen of paxlovid prepared for your month long mild dissappearance from the public eye.

when a group of vibrant young democrats tried to talk to dianne feinstein about the environment, she called them idiots, insulted their messages, and said they didn't understand.

sadly, she was right.

equally as sadly, there is a high likelihood that a many of those vibrant young democrats voted for her anyway in a future election.
