Guess what? I’m a R and am voting Biden with enthusiasm.

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.”

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.

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.

What good do you think the message sent will do other than make you feel like you told ‘em.

You know who “sent messages”? Nader voters, twice, and Sanders/Stein voters. The message that was received by society at large: “GOP mandate!” Which is probably what the two of you are actually hoping for. You like fascism and you’re okay throwing away your vote to get there.

Democrats are doing exactly what Putin does. Knock off the competition. No surprise there.

RFK for Prez!

Anti-covid vaccine mandates
Pro-worker rights
Pro- reproductive freedom
Pro-environmental consevation efforts
He will shine the light of day on the cozy relationship between regulators and business in a way that neither democrats or republicans would.

Wish he were anti war, but you can't have everything

He can’t really communicate thu.

You mean his speech impediment?
He sounds just fine to me!

[Anonymous]

I can’t understand him. I don’t mean to sound uncaring, but I can’t. When I can’t understand someone I tune out and look at my phone.

[Anonymous]

Eh, his voice issue is less annoying than Biden mixing up world leaders or Trump talking about how he likes it when people call him "your majesty "

What qualifications does he have to lead the greatest democracy of the free world?

I'm not sure. I hope he has the capacity to lead and inspire.

I think he has good professional experience in fighting unethical businesses and in protecting something beautiful and fragile.

I think he is not afraid to stand up for things he believes in.

These are qualities I look for.

Yes, and none of his kids turned out to be drug addled, unlike Ashley and Hunter Biden.

He doesn’t have positions. He’s a spoiler, nothing more, nothing less.

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.

My long term interest in having the main parties run better candidates in future elections.
