Should We Boot Trump Off the Ballot?

So, yesterday I glance at the local newspaper and there’s a story about how a group is now trying to get Trump kicked off the ballot before the state’s primary election on March 5th. Now I happen to live in Massachusetts which gave Joe 65.6% of the votes cast in 2020, which happens to have been the greatest percentage that Joe got in the 28 states he won. My state is also the only state which sends a completely blue delegation to the Senate and House every year, and just to add insult to injury, of the 40 seats in the State Senate, the GOP holds exactly three.

To show you what dogshit the state GOP is, in 2022 a guy named Shiva Ayyadurai ran a write-in campaign against the incumbent Senator, Ed Markey who beat both Shiva and the GOP candidate by a two-to-one vote. The reason that Ayyadurai ran a write-in campaign is because he was such an embarrassment to the state GOP that they found some other poor sap to put on the ballot since Ayyadurai not only claimed that he held two Ph.D. degrees from MIT, but also invented email in his spare time.

Not only do I believe that trying to get Trump’s name removed from the Massachusetts ballot is a fool’s errand writ large, but I am totally opposed to this strategy in the 15 other states where it is happening or is being planned to take place.
