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.

The "Spoiler Effect" is bullshit. Votes don't just transfer from one candidate to another like that. People that vote third party might otherwise just stay home, or write something in on the ballot. It is up to the candidates to gain the necessary votes to win, not to bully third-party candidates that are struggling to gain any traction. The blame for Trump's presidency falls squarely on Hillary's shoulders. If the Dems are so stupid and inept that they can't win against a semi-literate, racist buffoon then they are less than useless: they are complicit.

@DanDan420 @bloodravenlib @dangillmor You sound like either a fool or a provocateur or a straight up villain. Without evil jerks like you we could’ve had Al Gore instead of George W. Bush and the planet might have a much better shot at sustaining human life for a little while longer.
