Joe Lieberman’s Campaign for Third-Party Ticket Draws Ire of Democrats—Again

The former Connecticut senator’s work with the independent No Labels group has Democrats determined to head off a candidate they see as hurting President Biden and handing victory to former President Donald Trump.

For decades, Joe Lieberman has been sticking his finger in the eye of the Democratic Party. But that is not, the former Connecticut senator vows, what he is up to now.

“Right now, looking at the polling, it’s not No Labels that’s going to re-elect Donald Trump,” Lieberman said, unwrapping a cough drop at his desk in his Manhattan law office on a chilly recent morning. “Right now, it looks like it’s Joe Biden who’s going to re-elect Donald Trump.”

Lieberman, 81 years old, is the founding co-chair of No Labels, the independent group laying the groundwork to put a centrist “unity ticket” on next year’s presidential ballot. The prospect has Democrats in an uproar, mounting a full-court press to head off what they are sure would be a spoiler candidate who would siphon votes from President Biden and hand the election to former President Donald Trump.
At the center of the storm is Lieberman—and it is far from the first time he has been the focus of his own party’s ire.
His distinguished career includes a quarter-century in the Senate and serving as Al Gore’s running mate in 2000, a race Democrats think was spoiled by a third-party candidate. It’s an irony they wish Lieberman were more alert to. His is a career that also saw episode after episode of breaking with—some say betraying—his own party.
That has led some anti-No Labels Democrats to question his motives. “Look, he’s one of a bunch of people involved with No Labels who feel like they were wronged by the Democratic Party, or he wasn’t treated with the respect he felt he deserved,” said the Democratic consultant Joe Trippi, who is part of an anti-No Labels alliance of progressives, Never Trump conservatives and good-government advocacy groups. In a virtual meeting leaked last week to the online news outlet Semafor, members of the alliance indicated they intended to dig up dirt on potential No Labels candidates and warn potential donors to stay away from the group.

This man single-handedly eliminated the public option from Obamacare. Not sure if he's worse than Joe Manchin but he's a contender.

Who knew that making it mandatory to give the insurance companies your money would have this outcome? lmao

If you're wondering why we have to give money to BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, or other hoe-ass insurance companies rather than having an apparatus to lower insurance costs, here you go.

We need to make a thread including all the third party candidates and ask thecoli who they would vote for. Of course literally no one would vote for Lieberman but I'm just saying.

i wouldn’t support him, but what’s the problem? the more choices, the better. if this hurts biden, maybe democrats should have ran a better candidate.

All the evidence we've seen has been showing these third-party candidates tend to hurt Trump and help Biden.

i don’t support trump or biden, so it doesn’t really matter to me. i just don’t like anyone criticizing greater choice in our electoral options.

You full of shyt, you're obviously a Trump supporter. Also these third-party candidates won't get a single electoral vote. These are not other options. You have two options available the Democratic candidate and the Republican one. The only way that changes is if they get rid of the electoral college.

Ross Perot hurt Bush and got Clinton elected.

Maybe if Dems were serious about governing, they'd astroturf some conservative-leaning third party candidates to hurt the Reps in every election.

But of course, governing is not on their agenda. The purpose of the Democratic party these days is to allow the leadership to get wealthy via insider trading (Pelosi openly admitted this) and give easy but high paying and important sounding jobs to their nephews and nieces. That's it.

You think Obama bought that Hawaiian estate with the president's salary?

Remember the very first thing he did after leaving office? Vacay with billionaire Richard Branson. That was a "Meet our newest frat brother!" message.
