In response to the hemorrhaging of support for Joe Biden due to his blatant role in facilitating Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians, the Democrats are seeking to suppress all political parties outside the framework of the corporate-controlled two-party system.

The Democratic Party is launching an “all-out war” to block third parties from appearing on the 2024 US election ballot. This is in response to declining support for President Biden and the Democratic Party. The World Socialist Web Site has published articles exposing these anti-democratic efforts, which have received widespread attention and support on social media. Third party candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West have condemned the Democratic Party’s actions as an assault on democratic rights and voter choice. The Socialist Equality Party has also voiced support for the right of independent and third party candidates to access the ballot, connecting this to the broader fight against the corporate-controlled two-party system.

    The two-party system showed it’s flaws well before this election. It forces voters to approve policies they don’t support with their vote because they only get to pick from one of two “policy packages”. It makes it easier to extend/enact harmful policies because if interest groups can purchase support from both parties they are immune to legislation that doesn’t favor them. It divides the country into “us vs. them” because every election there is functionally only Dems vs. Republicans.
