Yep. The DNC has announced that it is engaging in full-tilt boogie lawfare against the Green Party–not unlike 2004, when they coordinated a couple dozen state lawsuits against Ralph Nader, or 2020, when they impersonated Green Party officials and called voters who had signed petitions to put the GP on the ballot, asking them to revoke their signatures.
I’m watching the sideshow in New York. If anyone doesn’t see this as a deliberate attempt to tamper with the campaigning to give Biden a leg up, I’d love to hear the reasoning behind that. I have a big, big feeling this is going to blow up in the dnc’s face.
