More than 15,000 people in Arizona have registered to join a new political party floating a possible bipartisan “unity ticket” against Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

While that’s less than the population of each of the state’s 40 largest cities, it’s still a number big enough to tip the presidential election in a critical swing state. And that is alarming people trying to stop Trump from winning the White House again.

The very existence of the No Labels group is fanning Democratic anxiety about Trump’s chances against an incumbent president facing questions about his age and record. While it hasn’t committed to running candidates for president and vice president, No Labels has already secured ballot access in Arizona and 10 other states. Its organizers say they are on track to reach 20 states by the end of this year and all 50 states by Election Day.

    So fund the libertarian party then. I’m sick of wimpy ass Democrats whining about how unfair everything is instead of actually fighting back.

    You are not going to win over third party voters, so stop trying. Invest in spoiler candidates and spend most of the party’s money on GOTV instead of blowing it on ads for the presidential candidate. It’s honestly shocking how incompetent the Democrats are compared to the GOP, who pay for their voters to throw literal GOTV parties with neighborhoods full of GOTV organizers and canvassers. There’s a reason they keep elections close despite being a minority.

    Meanwhile Dems will just fucking blame voters if they lose again.
