I'll say again, "America Party" is a pretty useless idea when at least 9 states openly admit they don't count the votes for every registered candidate.

If anyone is focused on elections without telling you this, they're either incompetent, or aware of it & ignoring it on purpose to waste your time and energy.

I'm pretty sure there are actually only 8 states that pretend to count every vote, vs at least 9 states that openly admit being a registered candidate isn't enough to get votes counted

Have you heard of controlled opposition? This is it.

This is why Tea Party were smart in working to co-opt an existing party. Too bad it turned into MAGA.

This is a long game strategy but could be viable to try again. Dems fight this internally so not an option with them. Been observing interesting developments with some trying this on the Greens. Libertarian party might be worth infiltrating too

Did a Tea Party member tell you about this before me?

Because you didn't actually mention them doing anything smart, you just kinda implied they did this by saying this makes them smart when that's the only way it would

That was pretty much their explicit plan back in the early 2000s I had a bunch of friends who participated at the time and they were very open about it.

I think most party reps will run republican and caucus โ€œAmericanโ€ like Sanders does with Independent.

If it grows big enough they can change the voting laws to allow/favor 3rd party candidates, but that is dis-incentivized.

Changing the voting edicts doesn't really do anything

If people can lie about counting votes while 42 states openly admit it's a lie, they obviously can while 0 states do

Why would you act like this is a factor? What's with you?
