Democrats deny Williamson ballot access

Marianne Williamson is crying foul after the Massachusetts Democratic Party submitted only President Joe Biden’s name for the state’s Super Tuesday presidential primary ballot.

There is nothing democratic about the democrat party. Democrats are the dictatorship party and Biden is their dictator.

Were Republicans "the dictator party" when they did the same thing to ex-Massachusetts Governor William Weld in 2020?

Williamson will probably wind up on the ballot anyway, though she should have filed petitions like Phillips.

I suspect every democrat that wants Trump to stay off the ballot in CO is avoiding this thread because they secretly don't want this to happen to a democrat.
I also suspect that if the GOP in a state decided all republicans but Trump were denied ballot access democrats would not like that at all.

Good for them but not for us. They just will not admit it.

You were pretty quiet in 2019 when this happened:

"The Washington Examiner reported on December 19, 2018, that the South Carolina Republican Party had not ruled out forgoing a primary contest to protect Trump from any primary challengers. Party chairman Drew McKissick stated, "Considering the fact that the entire party supports the president, we'll end up doing what's in the president's best interest."[145] On January 24, 2019, another Washington Examiner report indicated that the Kansas Republican Party was "likely" to scrap its presidential caucus to "save resources".[146]

In August 2019, the Associated Press reported that the Nevada Republican Party was also contemplating canceling their caucuses, with the state party spokesman, Keith Schipper, saying it "isn't about any kind of conspiracy theory about protecting the president ... He's going to be the nominee ... This is about protecting resources to make sure that the president wins in Nevada and that Republicans up and down the ballot win in 2020."[147]

On September 6, 2019, both of Trump's main challengers at the time, Bill Weld and Joe Walsh, criticized these cancellations as undemocratic.[148] The Trump campaign and GOP officials cited the fact that Republicans canceled several state primaries when George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush sought a second term in 1992 and 2004, respectively; and Democrats scrapped some of their primaries when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were seeking reelection in 1996 and 2012, respectively.[149][150] Weld and Walsh were joined by Mark Sanford in a joint op-ed in The Washington Post on September 13, 2019 which criticized the party for cancelling those primaries.[151]

Kansas,[152] Nevada and South Carolina's state committees officially voted on September 7, 2019, to cancel their caucus and primary.[7] The Arizona Republican Party indicated two days later that it would not hold a primary.[153] These four were joined by the Alaska Republican Party on September 21, when its central committee announced they would not hold a presidential primary.[154]

Virginia Republicans decided to allocate delegates at the state convention.[155]

The Nevada Republican State committee chairman said the committee would meet on February 23, 2020 and bind their delegates to Trump.[156]

The Hawaii GOP voted to cancel its primary and bind its 19 delegates to Trump on December 11, 2019.[157]"

Sure it's a "whataboutism" but it does show the depth of your dishonest hypocrisy.

It depends. Why did they do it?
