U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is running for re-election as an independent this year. He received enough write-in votes in the Progressive Party to be its nominee, but he turned it down. He also received enough votes in the Democratic primary to be the Democratic nominee, but he turned that down also. See this story.
The Progressive Party had no statewide candidates printed on its primary ballot, but enough write-ins were received for the party to nominate for Lieutenant Governor and Auditor. The write-in winners for those offices did accept the Progressive Party nomination. They are David Zuckerman for Lieutenant Governor and Doug Hoffer for Auditor. Both are incumbents. Zuckerman is a member of the Progressive Party, and Hoffer is a Democrat. Vermont allows fusion, and Zuckerman will be on the November ballot as “Progressive, Democrat” whereas Hoffer will be on as “Democrat, Progressive.”
Yet more fusion confusion
NO primaries
NO USA Senate – with its blowhard HACKS from very small States.

@Mark Matthew Herd wants to turn focus on Los Angeles County Mini-state Parliament through end of year:

We will by trying to manuever by organising a special election or event among all parties and independents under pure proportional representation.
He turned down the Democratic Party’s nomination for U.S. Senate, yet he was quite willing to receive their nomination for U.S. President and almost completely disrupted the Democratic Party! Then, he is such an independent that he also turned down the nomination of the Progressive Party of Vermont while he and his supporters trumped their “progressiveness.” One wonders if he is somewhat narcissistic like somebody who is in the White House.
What were Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, etc. in 1917-1918 in Russia ???
*progressives* ???
*liberals* ???
*socialists* ???
or mere KILLER TYRANTS ??? Duh.
I agree with what Demo Rep posted about ol’ Vlad, Uncle Joe, and Leon.
They WERE killer tyrants.
REMINDER –
THE LTS GANGSTERS stopped the Duma elected in late Nov 1917 from operating in Jan 1918 —
ie overthrew Russian Democracy.
— have to merely wait until 1991 after millions killed by the KILLER monarch/oligarch commies in civil war, multiple purges and WW II.
