Third-Party Spoilers, Long Fueled by Both Parties, Could Matter This Year (Gift Article)

Republicans have played this game as long as I can remember. This year, Trump will stop at noting to cheat, including using the Justice Department. MAKE IT TO BIG TO RIG. VOTE AND VOTE BLUE! Do it preserve democracy for the next generation. #Sheshed www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/u...

Re: Peltola, In Ohio [this year], Republicans have spent more than $2.2 million to promote a socialist candidate in the state’s vital Senate race, aiming to pull votes from the Democratic nominee, former Senator Sherrod Brown.

The GOP pearl clutching around the Alaska race is pretty laughable, given the Republicans have been doing this stuff forever. I totally forgot Trump has tried to run Kanye West for president to siphon Black votes away from the Democrats.

Glad they have this context piece up today. They could easily have run this simultaneously with the Peltola piece yesterday, or provided this context in that piece itself. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/u...

Amusing that Our King of “It’s not illegal, so you can’t stop me” is so upset by one of the oldest political dirty tricks in the American book… Third-Party Spoilers, Long Fueled by Both Parties, Could Matter This Year www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/u...

Like the objection i have is less about it being reported and more about the way its put outside of a much broader context (which is why this article should have been fused into the pelota article)

Third-Party Spoilers, Long Fueled by Both Parties, Could Matter This Year . The other Dan Sullivan in Alaska has drawn the most attention, but both parties are quietly trying to use little-known candidates in other battlegrounds to siphon votes, too.

Third-Party Spoilers, Long Fueled by Both Parties, Could Matter This Year www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/u... If we stacked the deck with one candidate running as an indy, have at it. Trump lies about everything, including Any Acton, claiming she was not raped by her stepfather who was indicted for it.

The New York Times trying to smooth over their fuck up from yesterday. I’m going miss Wordle and the crossword but not the election interference.

Again, the GOP mantra: Rules for thee but not for me. We want Dems to bring a gun to a gunfight, yet when they do, we accuse them of not playing fair. You go, Mary! Get us that senate seat! Third-Party Spoilers, Long Fueled by Both Parties, Could Matter This Year www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/u...

I think that is newsworthy, and the appropriate framing is here: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/u... The Times can cover this correctly. They chose not to.
