I lean R, but can't vote for Trump, so will vote for RFKJr with enthusiasm. My best-case outcome is he wins enough electoral college votes to prevent anyone from getting 270, though I doubt that will happen.


You realize that the outcome of that will be a Trump presidency, right? The House (even if controlled by Dems) would almost certainly vote for Trump.


Yes. Run a better candidate. My vote for Kennedy is not an endorsement of anything he stands for, because I don’t expect him to win, and I don't care if he does or doesn’t. It’s an expression of deep disappointment with both the Ds and Rs for running two tremendously terrible candidates.

“What about me?! I deserve to have everything exactly as I want it! Screw all the people who would be hurt under a GOP regime, screw the end of democracy - I’m disappointed. No, wait - I’m deeply disappointed.”

You voting for RFK Jr means either: a.) you somehow think Kennedy is a better candidate, which is deranged, or b.) you want to let the other side win to spite yourself and America

There's no moral high ground there.

Well funded 3rd party candidate, maybe more than Ross Perot. His VP was married to a Google cofounder.

Aren’t you a special snowflake! Every Presidential election is between two major party nominees who offer an imperfect choice. You have to choose. They have won their party’s nomination by being able to raise a lot of money from rich people while also getting a lot of votes from the party’s base of non-rich people. It is a weird special talent and it is reasonable to be skeptical of them, but your perfect candidate would not be able to win either party’s nomination or the general election.

Whoop di doo. Four articles all about the same thing, from your NYT article: “Democrats accused Mr. Kennedy of illegally coordinating with a super PAC to get him onto the ballot in several states that could be critical to President Biden.” They filed a complaint with the FEC. Do you want illegal coordination to go unpunished? I mean clearly as a Republican, yes, you do. Why do you think the Democrats should just allow your party to break laws freely? I thought you liked “law and order”? I kid, I kid. We all know Republicans think they’re above the law.

Am I supposed to vote in my own best interest? Or in the interest of others? I'm confused, because the D posters on here frequently explain that R voters are voting against their interest. Which I took to mean I should vote in my own best interest. My own best interest, right now, is joining with what appears to be approx 10% of the country in voting third party as a "none-of-the-above" style vote.

Geez. Not pretty.



RFK Jr's first wife is alive and well. His second wife killed herself after he started his current relationship with Cheryl Hines. That wife is the one who found the notebook where he kept a scorecard on the 30+ women he cheated with.


Oh horrible. Another rich jackass of low character. Disqualifed.


Larry David spoke at her funeral. Larry David also introduced Sheryl and RFK Jr, during his second marriage. Guess who is not supporting his friend, Larry David? Boy if I run for class clown, I expect my friends to endorse me.

Re second wife:

…Take away my kids ?
…Make my housekeeper “supervise” my children during your nasty legal battle?
.. Ask your divorce lawyer to block where my family wants to bury my body (yup, they wanted me FAR AWAY from you and your family).
… that last bit to shut out family when they lost needed comfort was touch of class.

Gross.

At least we know he can play the ghetto card. Evan Trump treated his ex wives better than that.

That does not serve your interests and the only point you make is that you are an illogical kook. Only two candidates have a chance to win. One is exponentially preferable to his delusional idiot opponent. I question the sanity of anyone who would throw away their vote on a delusional wacko independent when the two viable candidates are so different.

Which interests of yours does it serve to vote that way for a man of such questionable character and judgment and who has no experience whatsoever in a political office? Be specific about the interests his proposed policies serve.

You summed it up perfectly “Run a better candidate” it’s really that simple. They’re just mad because that’s the solution to their “the sky is falling” problem. Instead, they’ll attack you and those sending a message. You’re the enemy of the day. Do t worry tomorrow it’ll be someone else.

Don't throw away your vote on a third party. How does that help protect us all from the real threat posed by trump winning? We need to all step up and protect our country from Trump this election. That is the emergency we face this November and rfk can do nothing to help protect us from trump.
