    I’m not lying about anything. And, again, how was I supposed to vote for her if her campaign didn’t bother to fill out a two-page form?

    Why would I want to vote for someone who’s campaign is that lazy anyway?

      Youre doing this weird straddle between feigning ignorance, and also knowing the tiniest details about why you’re fighting against Stein (but pretending you’re not). I never heard about a form to fill out to be allowed to be a write in candidate. I assume you, like the Green Party, are finding out after the fact. Because you cant be that dense, you cant really think they were just too lazy to fill out a 2 page form. Like, you know they filled out a ton of forms, submitted mountains of petitions. Forms created and intentionally obfuscated by democratic and republican state legislatures to inhibit third party participation.

        Okay, I’m tired of you repeatedly insisting I’m a liar

        And yeah, I am “that dense” because that is literally all that is necessary in Indiana and has happened before, even with the Green Party.

        I may be dense, but I do happen to know my state’s election laws, thank you.

            That has nothing to do with being a write-in candidate. I think you would have known that if you had read the link. Funny that you keep calling me a liar and then post a link that has nothing to do with the fact that a two-page form is all you need to fill out to be a write-in.

              It mentions it. Its a case about ballot access in general.

                Yet again, all you need to do to be a write-in candidate is file a two-page form. That’s a simple fact whether you like or not.

                  Alright i found the issue, it was an either or choice

                  https://indianacitizen.org/electoral-hurdles-independent-and-third-party-candidates-struggle-to-get-on-indianas-ballot/

                  the party opted to petition to get on the ballot, rather than file the paperwork necessary to be a write-in candidate.

                  If you get past that irrational hatred for progressive parties I know youve got the common sense in there to know theyre not just too lazy to fill out a form.

                    Yes. I know they didn’t file the necessary paperwork. That’s not my problem, that’s theirs. I don’t really care why they didn’t bother doing it. It’s their job to get their candidate on the ballot. They fucked that up royally. And you think that’s a candidate worth voting for. One who’s people would rather throw a fit than follow simple instructions.
