    They're libs for the most part, but what happened to the Green Party? No candidates in any of the major races.

    And the fucking Larouch Party made it on the ballot?:kombucha-disgust:

      NY removed any party that didn't 130,000 votes. Also NY is way more conservative and reactionary than people think.

        I've got family in NY and can confirm my "straight ticket Dem" aunt is a hair's breath off open fascism when she's voting in the primary.

        Didn't realize their numbers had gone down that much. Whenever I did vote I'd usually go with them.

        Also, yeah, it definitely is lol. Met so many unhinged rightoids when I used to work in retail.

          Because most of the retail positions are being taken by boomers forced to work through “retirement”, right?

            Nah, I meant more in reference to the customers I dealt with. Although there were a few boomers who ended up working there for that very reason. They weren't too bad though.

      Didn’t see them on my FL ballot either, and usually they’ve got a few. No PSL candidates either. Only third party was the fucking libertarians.

      The Dems have been suing the Greens off ballots all over the country. Can't have democracy getting in the way of democracy. It's objectively the right move for the dems if they want to win. Shame they never play hardball with anyone to their right tho.
