The problem with a fusion ticket at the presidential level could be with naming elector slates. In Texas, elector candidates have to be affiliated with the party whose candidate they are.

Is the USA also out of step with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure?

Metric non users, disenfranchized tax payers, winner take all Congress verses perpotional represented Parliment[s], still fighting the subdued Russians and Chinese, hugemongous DoD R&D budget [the completely unnecessary Boeing Fighter F-22 alone], Viet Nam, Gulf War II!

Every one is out of step but the USA! [Any other obvious FACTS that need to be spotlighted?]

Yeah, from sore loser laws to the metric system. It was a logical progression. Any sane person would have made it.

It is a matter of public record that the USA acts more like a global empire than a nation-state. The non voting of out lying ‘territories’ ——much less the Heart of the Capitol in the District of Columbia, is a World Court case waiting to be filed!

Remember, we are the world’s global economic engine, AND WE DO NOT USE THE METRIC SYSTEM. We talk about democracy, and do not practise what we preach…..

Sore loser. It would be unconstitutional to keep a candidate for federal office off the ballot because he or she was in prison. The US Constitution sets for the requirements for president and congress, and states can’t add to them. Presidential candidates who appeared on ballots even though they were in prison at the time include Eugene Debs, Vincent Hallinan, and Leonard Peltier.

Was LaRouche kept off of the ballot in Mississippi in 1992 because of the sore loser laws or because he was doing time during the election?
