Everyone knows this is well funded by the GOP, right?
Well, technically Russia, but yes.
Poe Tay tow. Poe Tah tow.
You say tomato. I say termatermorts.
Every day the mask trying to hide the fact that No Labels are an anti-democracy group who don’t believe the American people should be empowered to choose their government and their whole reason for existing is to disrupt the democratic process to get a Republican in the White House slips a little more
Former Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Davis, a co-founder of No Labels, expanded on the group’s view of this potential scenario in an interview with NBC News on Thursday, suggesting the No Labels ticket could “cut a deal” with one of the major parties’ tickets.
Gee, I wonder which of the major parties former Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Davis is thinking of a cutting a deal with…
Davis also said that the group is looking at another potential, if far-fetched, outcome: A contingent election in which the president is selected by the U.S. House.
In the event that an effort to swing unbound electors fails and no candidate receives 270 Electoral College votes, the 12th Amendment of the Constitution stipulates that each state’s House delegation votes for one of the presidential candidates. In order to secure the presidency, one of the presidential candidates must receive the support of 26 state delegations. The Senate would select the vice president.
Gee, I wonder which party is almost guaranteed to have a majority in more state delegations if every state is counted the same regardless of population.
When asked if No Labels has looked at state delegations that could potentially side with the No Labels ticket in a contingent election, Davis responded, “Of course. Of course. Of course. We’ve mapped all this out.”
He noted, as an example, that a state like Montana, which has one House member, could “hold out” on its initial support of a ticket.
Gee, I wonder who it benefits to give Montana more power to decide the next president or stack the cabinet than California or New York has.
The same congress that has threatened government shutdowns and can barely choose a speaker? Wtf, are they mental?
No, they’re just funded by Russians
Ugh fuck off with this shit
The same clowns pushing Joe Mansions as a consensus candidate lol. Guys lips are always covered in coal dust for some reason.
I personally think we should be following our Constitution whether or not we’re defending people who murder classrooms full of kids or Democracy!
Russian cut-out says “what”?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
No Labels, the organization attempting to assemble a third-party presidential unity ticket, is openly floating the prospect of a “coalition government” forming after the 2024 election if no candidate reaches the 270 Electoral College votes necessary to win the White House.
In the video conference call with reporters, Clancy said that a coalition government is not “the plan” of No Labels, which is seeking to place a presidential ticket on the ballot in all 50 states.
Davis also said that the group is looking at another potential, if far-fetched, outcome: A contingent election in which the president is selected by the U.S. House.
Come November 2024, it could take as little as the No Labels ticket winning one state to prevent either major-party candidate from receiving 270 electoral votes, forcing one of these scenarios to play out.
In January 1825, the election went to the House, where a majority of congressional delegations voted for the runner-up John Quincy Adams, awarding him the presidency.
The last third-party presidential candidate to win Electoral College votes was George Wallace, who ran on the American Independent Party ticket in 1968.
