  1. If there’s one thing both ruling party Establishments still agree on, it’s making life difficult for third/minor parties for daring to even exist.

  2. Ballot access laws are a state licensing system for candidates to receive votes on the official state ballot. The ballot is treated as a state monopoly utility controlled by incumbents to prevent competition and monopolize legal authority in two and only two particular slates selected by two parties.
