No Labels Will Abandon 2024 Presidential Campaign Effort
So-called parties that can’t win at the state level or don’t even exist there…shouldn’t exist.
This guy is one of the dumbest M***EFing morons I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. After listening to him 2 or 3 times, I just crossed him off the list of people who could string a sentence together. I could be wrong, but I think he's going to be completely irrelevant, or even a help to the Dems, in the general election once people hear some of the BS that excretes from his pie hole.....and I'm quite sure they will....'F**king Idiot': Critics Rip Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Over Bonkers Mass Shooting Remarks
The independent presidential candidate called on the National Institutes of Health to study whether gun violence is connected to two unexpected factors.www.huffpost.com
He blames mass shootings on video games and antidepressants (because he hates the pharmaceutical industry that makes vaccines).
I think that's fair: liberals stop protesting injustices when they're committed by a Democratic president, so there's no domestic opposition on progressive issues.
When Obama was elected, people largely stopped protesting the Iraq war and federal torture facilities.
When Biden was elected, people largely stopped protesting Black Lives Matter, MeToo, and largely stopped worrying about COVID.
It's really too bad but it does seem like partisanship rules almost everything.

But Kennedy could become a much better candidate by coming out against the Gaza conflict. I suspect that he too wants to please his donors.
He's completely off his rocker.This guy is one of the dumbest M***EFing morons I've ever had the displeasure of listening to.

They also probably thought his last name was enough to cover the fact that he's a moron.He was picked because they thought he would be a Bernie like polarizing figure. Not really noticing that he talks more like a republican than a democrat.
People who are extremists don't normally think they are extreme. They also think there are a lot more people like them than there really are.They also probably thought his last name was enough to cover the fact that he's a moron.
Just as long as he doesn't take too many votes away from Biden. That's what I'm most worried about.They're not even close to leading in a single state.
This looks like a good article, it shows that RFK's impact right now is largely neutral:Just as long as he doesn't take too many votes away from Biden. That's what I'm most worried about.
It seems so unlikely. A third party would need to get a seat at the table in the Congress and Senate. Theoretically it could happen if blue dog (Manchin, Sinema, Rahm Emmanuel, etc) democrats formed a new party jointly with the Bush/Romney/Haley Republicans ... but I doubt they will. That would have a base among the political class and among billionaire donors, they would have a homogeneous political ideology, but voters don't actually like those people.It'd be nice if we had a viable 3rd party here in the US. I'm left leaning, but think the Dems are way too centrist as of late.
Totally agree. The entire point of RFK Jr running really IS to take votes from Biden. Anyone who thinks the POINT of his running is to win is an absolute idiot. I happen to think that this attempt can be turned on its head by simply pointing out the positions of the candidates.It'd be nice if we had a viable 3rd party here in the US. I'm left leaning, but think the Dems are way too centrist as of late.

RFK Jr. says he can ‘make an argument’ that Biden is ‘greater threat’ to democracy than Trump
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said Monday that President Biden may be a “greater threat to democracy” than former President Trump, citing his own legal batt…thehill.com
