Samuel Ronan is a candidate for U.S. House from Ohio’s Fifteenth District. He is trying to be on the Republican primary ballot, but the election board kept him off because it was believed he is not a sincere member of the Republican Party. On April 2, U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Morrison refused to grant him an injunction putting him on the ballot. He has appealed to the Sixth Circuit.
Another problem that results from government takeover of party nomination processeses. Any court rulings that upheld that abomination were illegitimate and wrong.
That “reform” was one of many that took the US government in precisely the wrong direction ever since it’s founding, along multiple axes.
“Polisci” (appropriately Orwellian ingsoque term – thanks spambot!) morons call these revolutions “progressive,” which is only accurate in the sense of a progressively metastasizing malignant cancer.
“Polisci” itself is a perverse parody of science. “Science” as currently practiced is already extremely politicized, much to its detriment, even in the hard sciences; far more so in the social(ist) so-called science’s; and most of all in political “science,” so heavily politicized by the sinister (leftist) termites working relentlessly to destroy our liberty and civilisation that it’s a great insult to science, and even to junk, to even call it junk science.
Therefor, myself, my ex Vera, and her good friend since youth Maxim came up with a system that looked at how the US experiment went wrong, given it’s original stated goals, and came up with proposals hypothesized evolution over time in opposing direction, while keeping technology trends and where the more stable medieval system overreached in opposing directions to create the motivations for the evolution of classical liberalism.
Our backgrounds are different, but complimentary in coming up with this set of general directional proposals.
Before screaming hyenas start in on nonsense, none of us, and none if our friends from the group chats that Max brought here, are anything close to “fascist,” or “Trump nuts” .
Fascism, properly understood, is far closer to today’s left and to the Demon Rat party in the US, as well as to the Rhinos who ran the GOP between Reagan and Trump – and to a large extent during Reagan’s terms too – than it is to MAGA Republicans, Christian conservatives, unreconstructed Southerners, traditionalists, reactionaries, neofeudalists, dark enlightenment folks, etc.
As for Mr. Trump, at best he’s the lesser evil vis a vis the demon rats, the pre Trump leadership of the GOP, and vis a vis the continuous ineffectiveness of minor parties and independents, particularly at the federal level, and most of all at the presidential.
However, seeking any solutions at that level is a fool’s errand. Only Jesus could effectively run anything that size, and when tempted by Satan to do so He expressly said no.
Which means, if you think about it, that Satan’s offer was real and deliverable, given that Jesus would certainly know if it wasn’t.
It is the right of each voter alone to decide in the general election on the sincerity of a candidate not incumbent partisan bureaucrats.
The problem with that is “candidates.” That’s like school elections for chronological grown ups. Most voters just swipe left or right based on incumbency or lack thereof, ad campaign budget, looks, (usually phony) promises, charisma, fake news, confusion, sound of name, party label if and when available, etc.
At least a party might build a track record over time, so one can at least try to vote on the basis of ideas rather than personality.
This would be aided greatly if voting was by party only and if parties were not required to field candidates just to run, regardless of their chances of winning, and if only winning parties had to name officeholders if they do win, and if those officeholders could be replaced and swapped in and out at will by the party throughout their term as many times as necessary, and if elections were annual.
There are other factors too, if any non Spambots care what those are.
The other problem with that is “each voter.”
That’s where the thorny questions of voter qualification, vote count accuracy, and voter confidence therein enter into play.
