Calling a special election and putting one name on the ballot is called rigging the election.

"In the US, people campaign to get elected"
In the US, people don't go to the president or governor, and say, "I want you to call an election to ask people to vote on picking me over nobody to run the newspaper". It was an attempted coup. You were busted. End of story.

"You and your brethren went straight to the SI admins and made your case to them."

"That's the prerogative of being employed by the platform owners. They can exercise complete authority."
Better them than you or Rat.

"That is why so many people are beginning to rebel against the Democrats.We understand that you have totalitarian instincts and that we may just be in for the fight of our lives to stay free"

Shrinks call that "projection".

"We use these boards and other platforms to make that case, even as you do your best to silence us through all the tools of censorship and dirty tricks at your disposal."
We don't have to do anything beyond standing back and watching you do it to yourselves.
