I have little doubt that "No Labels" is a Republican front group, and that its goal is absolutely to draw votes away from President Biden and thus ensure Trump's return to the White House.

That's certainly what all signs point to.

I’m not sure who made that map but Indiana is decidedly not a Moderate Independent state. I live here & it is as crimson red and pro fascist trump as it can be. There are a few tiny blue dots here and there but no one would ever call Indiana Independent or Moderate.

They have New England marked as moderate, but there is only one member of Congress in all of New England that isn't a Democrat or independent.

Unfortunately the pandemic killed the push to unseat Susan Collins, but she's the only Republican legislator left in New England.

The map was created by No Labels though. I think they just made it up to make themselves seem more relevant than they should be.

Ah. Okay, that makes sense.

Right, the only way they could get to 270 electoral votes, No Labels had to invent this map of where their "Unity Ticket" EVs would come from. It truly is a "fantasy map."

Agree. Same for Missouri.

I'm in Springfield and Hawley is my so- called "representative." He's just like most of the people here. I saw recently that another GOP politician is running against him.

Welp, as usual Conservatives "win" by following the same playbook: Lying, Cheating, Stealing, and Acting in Bad Faith. Follow the Money.

I’ll be supporting and contributing to Dick Gephardt’s group. Hard to remember and believe that Missouri used to be a decent political environment.

Are we sure that "No Labels" isn't a GOP front group to try to split the Democratic vote? I think that some group with the resources needs to do some investigating.

We doesn’t the Democratic Party start doing this back? It's long past time to take off the gloves. We can't afford another Trump Presidency. I understand that he had talked about suspending the Constitution if he gets in again. I think we can all agree that if he does that, we'll never live under it again.

The funders of No Labels lean right, yes, particularly their "whale" investor Harlan Crow. But there are some Democrats who are supporting the group as well. The absurdity is that the group itself claims not to want to be a pro-Trump spoiler, but their own polling shows they will be.

Thank you for sounding the alarm about these scoundrels. They clearly can't be trusted, especially with Crow and others supporting them.

The No Labels group only has credibility in a world where the actions of the Democratic Party are seen as the equivalent of those of the Republicans. As is shown by its apparent courting of Joe Manchin (!!!), No Labels is no more than an alternative for anti-Trumpists who vote for Biden only because he isn’t trump.

Although, I will say that many anti-Trump Republicans are raising the alarm bells about No Labels as well. It's an all hands on deck situation to avoid another Trump term.

This is a very important matter and this article is timely and needs to be distributed far and wide.

Is it possible for this article to somehow be reprinted in mainstream media outlets?
