The son of the former Democratic attorney general under President John F. Kennedy accepted the American Independence Party’s ballot spot in California. The group has a problematic history.
I say fine, if that’s what it takes to get on the ballot in this broken system. Getting on the ballot should be trivial. Crazy/stupid/evil should also have easy access. And everyone should have easy voting access to crush these loons.

Cool, down voted for being pro-democracy!
He does have easy access. He just has to get signatures.
Indeed, just has to get signatures like any other candidate.
Democratic candidates have to get 26,000 signatures.
Republican? 52,863 signatures.
Independent? 219,403 signatures.
Yeah, seems completely fair and balanced.

Those numbers for the Democrats and Republicans are to be on their primary. Not the general election.
And independent has no primary, so those are the numbers to get on the relevant ballot.
