Does this hurt the d’s worse or the r’s?EXCLUSIVE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Planning to Announce Independent Run
2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce he will run as an independent on October 9 in Pennsylvania, Mediaite has learned.
At first blush one might think it will hurt Biden the most. But there are enough people who would have held their noses and voted for Trump because he was their only option, but also don't think they can tolerate another four years of Trump, so they finally have someone they can vote for with enthusiasm. I think it will be a wash. But probably whoever wins will not get 50% plus 1 of the vote. Cornel West is a much greater threat to Biden than Jr, IMO.
That’s 1 enthusiastic RFK Jr. voter on board. 80,999,999 to go.
I harbor no illusions about his chance of victory. I’m pleased that I can tell the uniparty I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more. Let’s assume it becomes a four way race; Biden, Trump, Kennedy and West. And Trump gets the most votes but it’s only, say, 44%. Do you think he will govern like he thinks he got a huge mandate, or will he recognize most of the people wanted someone else?
At your age you should know better than to compare Jr to Teddy and not his father. Jr’s position on issues is almost a carbon copy of his dad’s. The party has rejected him because it has gotten light years away from either JFK or RFK, it is not the traditional liberal party of any one of the three. There are no appropriate words to describe why much of his family has rejected his political values. The only explanation I can come up with is they are so desperate to remain Democrat Party royalty they will turn their backs on both JFK and RFK.
Yer love of the Kennedy's Dan lends to question why you don't vote my man. Why is this?
Perhaps you missed the title of the thread. I have a good reason to vote now, so I will. I registered and everything!
There’s no point in voting when your options are people you find reprehensible. I disagree with Jr on a lot of issues, but the one issue on which I agree with him, the issue of war and peace, is more important to me than almost every other issue combined. Whether he would succeed in ending the NeoCon reign of terror I don’t know. If he looked like he might he would probably suffer the same fate as his uncle and father. But I do believe he will make it a top priority of his administration and do everything he can to make this a more peaceful world. I think it would be cool if he named Tulsi Gabbard as his running mate.
You make a good point and you may be right. But there may be a percentage of people who don’t want to vote for Trump but would have voted for him as an anti-Biden protest, and now see they can cast their protest vote for someone they find preferable to DJT. That percentage may be small, and it may be non-existent as far as I know, but if it exists it may be enough to sway the winner one way or another.
Oh, let me add: because of that possibility I expect to see Republicans attack Jr with the same venom as the Democrats. They can’t take the chance. I’m glad he has thick skin because he’s going to experience incoming fire from every direction, as if he hasn’t already. Joe Rogan told his millions of viewers he’ll vote for Kennedy. I wonder if he’ll break tradition and actively campaign for him.
Hopefully not a Dead Kennedy. Give him some SS guards. I would bet he has personal protection, just like Trump.
Get ready to be called up for Jury Duty often, thats how they get you, voter records.
At his age he should know its a waste of time and money, he can't win.
Is anyone who is actually paying attention surprised by this potential move by Jr?EXCLUSIVE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Planning to Announce Independent Run

Can you yet define want communism is? lol
Thanks for the quote but the quote is wrong and misleading (as is the whole article). Just because you read it on PragerU doesn't mean it is automatically true. You do know this, correct?"Today, if a Democrat advocated the positions on race, taxes, foreign policy, guns and abortion that our 35th president once did, he wouldn’t be a Democrat. He’d belong to that other party."
If John F. Kennedy was alive today, he would be a Republican | PragerU

Someone told me you can get out of it when you’re over 75. I hope they’re right!
Yeah, I was objecting to your comparing him to Teddy. I’m sure he knows he won’t win but feels an obligation to remind people that liberal values differ drastically from what the Democrats have become. He’s doing what he can to preserve those old-fashioned liberal values.
That Republican websites are worrying about his impact on Trump’s vote totals are as loud as the worry from the Democrats suggests to me it may be a wash. I think mainly both sides recognize which ever side “wins” it will be by plurality, not majority. That will make it harder for them to declare they have a mandate to ram their policies down our throats, regardless of who the winner would be. That would be untenable, they may have to compromise with each other. The best option, of course, would be if Kennedy actually won or at least got enough votes to give him leverage to force the winner to put the NeoCon war hawks on the back burner.
I understand you are confused right now, but perhaps with your next post on this thread, could you try to make some actual sense? Or maybe even a valid legitimate point?
No doubt Jr. is being funded by and is listening to Republican sources. Republican chiselers who think they can fool enough Democrats/liberals/left-leaning moderates into voting for the pawn just because his last name is Kennedy.
Interesting you didn't disagree with who is funding Jr.
Do you believe Putin has a lot in common with the American "neocon war hawks" you love to decry on this board?
Seriously, got a definition for communism yet or no?🤣🤣
