    No Labels, the third-party bipartisan group that is considering launching a “unity” campaign in the 2024 presidential race, on Monday will host a major event to discuss its platform – and will be joined by two notable politicians from across the aisle.

    Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., a Republican, will speak at the group’s “Common Sense town hall” at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.

      It’s almost like if they wanted to advance policy ideas they could do that through other means than an election run.

        They are a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Acting like this is anything else other than a political gambit to secure preferential treatment for whoever is ultimately financing the “no labels” grift is completely naive. A third party that is made up of the entrenched political elites of yester-year is just a prick measuring contest, an attempt to stay politically relevant, and a shot across the bow that if Democrats don’t give in to their demands that they will let the psycopaths run the asylum.
