No Labels is ostensibly a third “independent” political party that may attract many voters tired of today’s politics. However, No Labels will not reveal its financial backers, and it is apparently lavishly funded. That fact should ring a loud bell, as there is a deep suspicion that this party is an attempt to attract enough voters away from Joe Biden in 2024 so that Donald Trump will win reelection.

Biden won in 2020 by a very narrow margin. If the No Labels candidate only diverts a few Electoral College votes, it’s possible no candidate would have enough votes to win in the Electoral College. In that case, the House would decide who becomes the next president, and you know who that would be.

If you are an independent, vote as you wish, but don’t listen to the nebulous rhetoric of No Labels. Do you really want to risk another four years of government from Twitter by a now-criminal narcissistic tyrant?
