Is that supposed to be a threat?

[-] 000@fuck.markets 6 points 10 months ago

I wasn't going to vote for him anyway so this is fine. Keep yourself from winning enough electoral votes for all we care.

Ah yes, Vivek's daily "Twerking' For Trump" (or more accurately his supports) entry.

Ramaswamy challenged Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie to follow his lead and takem themselves off the Maine ballot.

This is what an actual threat to democracy looks like. The system is hellbent on taking this man out, the Constitution be damned. I stand by my prior pledge to withdraw from any state’s ballot that ultimately removes Trump from its ballot. I call on DeSantis, Christie, and… — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) December 29, 2023

Ramaswamy made a similar dive for the spotlight after Colorado's Supreme Court ruled Trump's actions leading up to his supporters' bloody rampage through the Capitol on January 6 had rendered him ineligible for the presidency under the 14th Amendment. Ramaswamy's electoral self-immolation is currently on hold, since the vanquished president got back on the Rocky Mountain state's ballot pending a final determination by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Michigan Supreme Court rejected a bid to remove Trump from the swing state's ballot.
