It deployed DNC-aligned judges to throw me and other candidates off the ballot... the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed [Biden's] successor ... without an election.

They would be astonished to learn of a Democratic Party presidential nominee who, like Vice President Harris, has not appeared in a single interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for 35 days. This is profoundly undemocratic... the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based on nothing. No policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors… [The Dems] resort to censorship, media control, and weaponization of the federal agencies. [behold] a U.S. president colludes with, or outright coerces, media companies to censor political speech… Putin and his party controlled the Russian press and …Putin prevented serious opponents from appearing on the ballot. But here in America, the DNC also prevented opponents from appearing on the ballot. And our television networks expose themselves as Democratic Party organs….

I think what you can accurately say about the GOP is that it is just as devoted to keeping it to a two party system as the Dems

Apart from various alternate claims, I for one am open-minded enough to see he is correct about the Dem party of today with what he said

One man's open mindedness is another man's delusions. And Jr. is selling delusions.
