In response to the hemorrhaging of support for Joe Biden due to his blatant role in facilitating Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians, the Democrats are seeking to suppress all political parties outside the framework of the corporate-controlled two-party system.

The Democratic Party is launching an “all-out war” to block third parties from appearing on the 2024 US election ballot. This is in response to declining support for President Biden and the Democratic Party. The World Socialist Web Site has published articles exposing these anti-democratic efforts, which have received widespread attention and support on social media. Third party candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West have condemned the Democratic Party’s actions as an assault on democratic rights and voter choice. The Socialist Equality Party has also voiced support for the right of independent and third party candidates to access the ballot, connecting this to the broader fight against the corporate-controlled two-party system.

    Agreed. Multiple parties lead to coalitions. In Israel’s case, that resulted in putting Netanyahu in power. Not every party that put him in power is as far-right as he is, but they weren’t going to side with the left either. Now they’re living with the consequences, but worse- so are the Palestinians.

      A number of the parties that put Netanyahu in power are further to the right than he is. As far as the right goes in Israel he is pretty middle-of-the-road. Which is fucking terrifying.
