This is almost comical at this point. The parties supposedly did what the GA Secretary of State told them to do, and the court just decided that wasn't correct? PSL and Cornel West will be on GA ballots but they literally won't count those votes???
How in god's name does anyone have faith in this system anymore, genuinely? I walk around at work and stuff and feel like I'm in a daze sometimes, seeing people in Kamala shirts or whatever the fuck. The covid response definitely threw my worldview for a loop, but the past year has really done a number on me.

Jill Stein is still on the ballot if you want to call out electoralism as bullshit and vote pro-Palestinian, she got in on the 20 state rule.

That's weird, why would Republicans do this? Libertarians probably don't steal nearly as many of their votes as Greens do Dems, right? And Georgia is one of the most gerrymandered states with the characteristic 3 hour long queues for polls in poor and Black areas while white suburbs are a million times more accessible, so why do they feel the need to give up any advantage here?

The Republican Secretary of State allowed them then Dems sued again to bring it to the GA SC. Probably some inside baseball to get a ruling in their favor. Seems like most 'moderate' Repubs are pretty fine with a Kamala win given Cheney and others "switching sides"

Only bipartisan when they do terrible things

What I don't understand here is: Do the Dems think PSL, West, or other 3rd party voters will actually vote for them now? It's like some unhinged ex killing your current partner and thinking now you have to date them

All of them are going to Stein, who is both on the ballot and can't be uncounted. This doesn't help the dems, just damage their rep among liberals sympathetic to Socialism.

How does this actually play out? If our Georgia comrades want to vote PSL, does writing in Claudia De La Crúz count still, and not the selection on the printed ballot? Or do neither count, and you physically can't have her win the state even if everyone wrote her in? Just curious about how this will logically play out, she's printed on the ballot and thus is going to get votes somehow anyways even if they don't count her.

Votes will not be counted for West or PSL

You can read in the article linked on this thread and also be exposed to terminal amounts of liberalism

Jesus Christ, that's worse than I even thought. badeline-disgust

Guess those comrades will move to Jill Stein.

The 99% and 100% hitler parties are really making a great case to vote PSL.
