Nobody asked you if it was unusual in Mass. You were asked if you support it or not. Do you? Is that your ideal democracy? Yes or no? Answer the question!

I start a game of chess and decide that I want to be able to move my Bishops horizontally as well as diagonally.

Reasonable? Or should I abide by the rules I agreed to when I started?

I asked where, not why.
In how many states is that standard practice?

Now, again.....do you approve of only one person be on a primary ballot? Yes or no?

Did someone impose that rule on you or not? Nobody agrees to have their name excluded from the ballot. You are so silly!

Follow the rules and you'll get on the ballot.

Why should I care if someone who doesn't do what they are supposed to do doesn't get on a primary ballot?

Are you a complete moron?

Well, yes but Williamson and other candidates know in advance what the rules are for getting on each State's ballots just like I know how a Bishop moves according to the rules of chess. So, yes she has agreed to have her name excluded if she doesn't do what is necessary to get it on the ballot.

Do you oppose a law requiring at least two candidates be on a primary ballot for POTUS unless nobody else is running? Yes or no?

In Iran other candidates know in advance the rules say they may be banned from running altogether. What are they complaining about? They knew the rules. Right?

Stop trying to justify unfair rules instead of objecting to those rules.
You know you are being a hypocrite. You object to the rules all of the time and you know it. Texas made rules restricting abortion. Women know the rules so they have no right to complain. Make sense?

Yes. It's an unnecessary regulation of political parties' decision making.

Would that apply to every political party? Would the State be required to have primaries for every single one of them? With as many people on the ballot as the State deemed desirable?

So if the GOP makes sure only Trump appears on the ballot in every state that is fine with you?

No, it doesn't make sense except to an idiot.

Laws restricting Natural Rights are void and have no validity.

Party rules regarding how they decide on which candidates they run are their business (assuming that person meets legal qualifications), not the States.

That you can't comprehend the difference is rather mind-blowing.

It was fine with you in 2020, wasn't it?

Trump is disqualified from the office of President.

But aside from that, I really don't care how political parties pick their candidates. In NY, we have requirements to get on the ballot more strenuous than Massachusetts and our primaries are "closed" i.e. only members of the party can vote in them. I suppose you think that's not "democracy" either.

What doesn't make sense? Be specific. I am not a mind reader.
