“Hmm: Democrats are fighting to get third-party candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West off the ballot in multiple states — while simultaneously battling to keep RFK Jr. on some states’ ballot even after he’s withdrawn. ‘Defending democracy’ sure is a tricky business. Of course, the ‘principle’ at stake here is nothing but ‘what’s best for Kamala Harris.’ Stein and West, both serious lefties, will siphon off votes likely to otherwise go to the Democrat; leaving Kennedy on (the calculation goes, anyway) will cost Donald Trump more votes than it does Harris. And never mind that RFK’s campaign had to battle to get on most ballots back when he threatened to cost Dems more votes (which is what polling indicated when Joe Biden was still the nominee).” (08/31/24)
