Reply to comment by LipTrev in TIL that the labels on Angostura bitters bottles are intentionally annoying.

The advice stuck. by dmanlian

All you’re saying is that some random Joe Schmo can’t run for a particular party. That’s the parties’ prerogative. Joe Schmo can still run if they want. Next you’re going to say, “But Joe will lose. More people will vote for the parties.” And it’s like, that’s how voting works.
