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.
I was fine with what?

So you are fine with Trump being the only candidate on the primary ballot if the GOP decides that is fair. Good to know if it happens you will never complain about it.
So Iran banning candidates from running is fair game to you. That is also good to know you accept rules that are anti democratic.

I asked you a question. I did not ask myself a question. Why are you evading the question?

Iran banned candidates and parties from running in the general election, generally on ideological and/or religious grounds.

That's a far cry from a political party not letting every Tom, Dick and Sally on a primary ballot.

Perhaps you should stop using CNN as a source for anything. They lie too much.
And yet you support Donald Trump.

I answered your question. No, suggesting laws outlawing abortion are essentially the same as political party rules regarding who gets on a primary ballot doesn't make sense except to an idiot.

I disagree.

Are you suggesting that ballot access has nothing to do with having a chance to win an election? Yes or no?

You did not answer my question. STOP LYING!

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.
What doesn't make sense? I have no idea what you are talking about.

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? Is that what you are saying?

Political parties are private organizations and should be able to pick their candidates by whatever means they decide assuming the person has the legal qualifications. I wouldn't care if they flipped a coin or played one potato, two potato for it.

You have your choices in the general election; if you don't like how your party picks its candidates, find another party.

You are evading my question and it is obvious. I detect a serious weakness so I will ask the same question over and over again until you stop lying and answer my question.

If the GOP banned everyone from being on the ballot except Trump you would be furious and allege election meddling and you know it. So does everyone else on this forum and you know it. Liar liar pants on fire.

Okay then for the 3rd time:
