    If electoral success is your standard, then yes. The US is way more comparable to third world fascist states than anyone wants to admit, and a dominant political party leveraging its power to ban competition is one such similarity.

          Are you arguing that the decision wasn’t made by the Pennsylvania state Supreme Court because they didn’t follow that state’s rules for eligibility?

                    Yes thats what we are currently discussing. They done the paperwork, they got the signatures.

                    But uh oh democrats decided those signatures arent allowed, in a challenge brought upon by democrats to a democrat controlled supreme court.

                    Just a reminder you are arguing against letting a political party participate in an election. The gravity of that is immense to me, i think it would be to you too if you were seeing it from an outside perspective. Like we see Russia banning candidates.

        following a challenge supported by the Democratic donor-funded, anti-third-party Clear Choice PAC.

        Every story you ever see about a candidate being thrown off a ballot is prompted by a democratic effort to do so. There are multiple such stories posted today, ill let you go look into their context.

          The Pennsylvania high court agreed with a Commonwealth Court decision to bar De la Cruz and her running mate, Karina Garcia, from the ballot.

          That’s the rest of the sentence that you forgot about.

          Every story you ever see about a candidate being thrown off a ballot is prompted by a democratic effort to do so.

          Did you even read the second paragraph because it’s about a republican effort to remove a candidate.

          Pennsylvania justices also ruled against the Constitution Party’s James Clymer, whose name was listed as a placeholder for the party, delivering a victory to Republicans.
