Colorado supreme court ruled that they can take Trump off the ballot, now it looks like California is trying to do that as well. Meanwhile, republican states are threatening to retaliate in kind.
This seems unprecedented for US, does anybody know what happens in this scenario?
The ballots still have blanks even the digital ones. You can vote for yourself. Or Trump or whichever of the duopoly candidates was removed from the ballot in your state.
But it does hurt the perceived legitimacy of the election. I had thought the reason so many stop the steal legislators did a 180 after the capital riots was that owning the libs wasn’t worth endangering bourgeois rule.
This is shortsighted of the duopoly to say the least.
I think you’ve nailed the problem on the head. If the election goes forward where some states allow one candidate and others allow the other, then whoever wins will lack legitimacy in the eyes of the public. Whichever side loses will immediately claim that the election was unfair and that the results should be overturned. This gets US a step closer to the civil war scenario.
They’re so used to doing these things in other countries that they will try it themselves?
Let me grab some popcorn.
A color revolution finally coming home.
Where is Nuland right now? Is she in the States? Is this what happens if she is allowed to stay there too long, her very presence just causes color revolutions?
From what I’ve seen- it looks like it’s not merely a matter of removing him from the ballots, but ruling him as “ineligible” for presidency- votes for him will be disqualified (if this isn’t shot down by the US supreme court) basically. People will be able to throw away their vote by writing him in, but even if the majority of the population did- he would still be “ineligible.”
Still, can you imagine if, the day after the election, it’s basically just Biden and a few third-party cranks? I stopped taking american elections seriously years ago, but having Biden at like 97% and even winning fucking Mississippi will look completely absurd to large numbers of people, even some libs perhaps.
