So Biden did an opsie and might not legally be able to appear on the Ohio ballot. I don't think that is right and people should make exemptions for him so he can appear on the ballot. Let's have a fair vote and not legitimize this behavior.

"So Biden did an opsie" No, the DNC and Biden campaign are both quite familiar with Ohio election laws and they didn't simply overlook this. Or are you suggesting that Democrats are too stupid to understand the law?
2. "and might not legally be able to appear on the Ohio ballot." That would be Biden's responsibility.
3. "I don't think that is right" Your opinion is noted but means nothing. My opinion means nothing, either. This is a question of law, not teaching children on the playground to play fair.
4. "people should make exemptions for him" This is a matter of law and there is no exception built in to this law. So you think we should ignore the law and not "penalize" Biden for his own stupidity while the Democrats are trying to crucify Trump for allegedly not following the law?
5. "Let's have a fair vote" You mean a vote where everyone follows the law. . . except Biden?
6. "and not legitimize this behavior." You mean let's legitimize behavior that does not follow the law?
I haven't heard any compelling argument for breaking the law to help Biden.

President Biden should 100% be on the Ohio ballot in November. While there is a major difference between properly qualifying for the ballot and then unilaterally being removed unconstitutionally, and not properly qualifying for the ballot in the first place because of self-inflicted gross negligence, Ohio officials should still work with Democrats to insure that Biden is on the ballot for the election. The uproar that would ensue and the gigantic Pandora's Box that would be permanently opened isn't worth the comedy.

Every politician do it to themselves, so it doesn't matter.
If Biden and the Democrat party didn't try to remove Trump from the ballot I would be more inclined to agree with you. Turnabout is fair play, and in this case Trump didn't even do anything; it was all because Biden's DNC fucked up the dates. The attempts to get Trump off the ballot were malice; Biden not being on the ballot is just incompetence.
I agree with you, but I certainly wouldn't blame anyone feeling Schadenfreude after the Democrats' numerous attempts to remove Trump from the ballot in Democrat-run states.
Keep in mind that an ancillary issue with the states is that turnout for other races on the same ballot is a depressed turnout if either Trump or Biden is removed from an individual state's ballot.
He'll be on the ballot if he gets the nomination. This isn't the first time this has happened.
Anyway, nobody has a right to be on the Ohio ballot, or any other state ballot. The states don't have to allow people to vote for president at all. They can choose their electors any way they want.
Personally I think all states should quit letting people vote for president. Things would be a hell of a lot better that way.Technically he can't remain on the ballot because he isn't on the ballot. Has he even been declared official Democratic candidate? Doesn't that happen at the convention? If Sleepy Joe doesn't get his arse in gear he won't be on the ballot.
That would be silly though. I'm sure they will figure something out.
No voter should be denied his or her free choice. Any thing else is Threat To Our Democracy™. I am an Ultra MAGA Republican Extremist™ saying that.
Who gives a fuck? Biden lost 2020 in Ohio and won the election. Will it matter in 2024? Of course not.
100% should. No candidate should be removed from a ballot weather you like them or not. If your only shot at winning is keeping other candidates off the ballot, then maybe you shouldn't be running.
I can't stand either of them but if it wasn't fair to exclude Trump in Colorado then it's not fair to keep Coma Joe off Ohio because of an administration mistake...
He was not on the ballot in New Hampshire and he still managed to win. He will be the nominee anyway so who cares. ?
I'm all for a fair election this time. I don't much appreciate having my vote nullified. 100% no cheating would be pleasurabley rectifying as DJT hauled in a hundred million votes. To 33 million.
Don’t worry, the system will make an exception for him because he is backed by power.
You gotta stop the YouTubers…
