I believe Politico privately considers "No Labels" to be a spoiler operation designed to put Trump back in the White House. But like other willfully blind journalism organizations, it treats the group as "centrist" with honest motivations.

It's likely that some supporters do honestly believe they're helping to improve politics. But they are the Jill Stein voters of 2024 and should be called out as such.

A 6-figure Donald Trump donor is now a No Labels adviser

Allan Keen is heavily involved with the centrist group, but previously worked to re-elect Trump.

@dangillmor
The problem with this demonizing of any alternative choices beyond forced wealth serving establishment is that it's a vicious cycle giving poorly representative candidates. 2020 saw the disgusting organized crush of front runner populist Sanders. Does anyone really want Harris after Biden?

This is what you're pushing. Who deserves to be sneered at on a "Jill Stein voters" level?

@Silversalty You may not like the choices, but at least acknowledge the consequences of putting Trump back in the White House.

Lesser evil.
Who originally pushed Trump to run for pres?
Who let Garland get blocked thinking HRC would win, while continually facing FBI investigation?
How is this establishment behavior allowed and not blamed?
