Democrats prepare to go to war against third-party candidates

Link to article…
The Democratic National Committee is building its first team to counter third-party and independent presidential candidates, people involved told NBC News, as the party and its allies prepare for a potential all-out war on candidates they view as spoilers.
As they see it, Trump has a ceiling of support of around 46%, so to beat him, they need to compel the remaining majority of voters to back Biden. Trump can win without a majority of the vote, they argue, if third parties splinter what they see as the anti-Trump majority.
“The single biggest threat that helps put Trump back in the White House is third-party candidates. It’s not Biden’s age. It’s not whether Trump gets convicted. It’s not any of that stuff,” said Joe Trippi, a veteran Democratic strategist who co-founded a new super PAC that is preparing to run TV ads in battleground states.
The group, Citizens to Save Our Republic, is backed by a long and somewhat bipartisan list of boldface Washington names, including two former defense secretaries, five former senators, 14 current and former members of Congress, three former presidential candidates and several well-known Democratic and anti-Trump Republican operatives.

As an Independent, I am eager for their attacks. New campaign video today, ending HUD, sending $100B back to the Treasury. I'm sure they'll hate that. That's good.
By the way, interest on our debt is projected to be 3% (and growing) in the future. Debt will very soon be $35T, meaning we'll be sending $1.05T out in interest on the debt alone, very soon.

At least they know we're a Republic and not a Democracy, that's progress.

Anytime I see a pac with this kind of a name I turn away from it.
They aren’t trying to save the republic. They are trying to make it what they want.

"Go to war." Is that anything like a "blood bath?"

Communists don't allow free elections. No surprise.

It’s not “election interference” if you legally campaign against 3rd party candidates. That’s their plan.

Just like bills in Congress. A bill named "The children's protection and safety act" will do very little for either and fund a lot of shite that doesn't.
The lie is always behind a sliver of the truth.

I don’t expect this to play well with actual independents.

No. Why?
I am as conservative as ever.
