Hahahaha. No one takes this guy seriously. This is only done because it looks good. There’s no threat to the guy who can’t possibly win because there’s no point in taking him out.
But also, there go my tax dollars when I’d like them to pay for roads, teachers, etc. Fuck you for running Bobby, you lying sack of shit (see takedown by Maintenance Phase podcast; the dude’s a lying liar).
All your taxes do is take money out of circulation.
You know what?
Good on RFK Jr. 50 years ago just the thought of him being able to escape the political shadow of the previous generation of Kennedys would have been laughable.
But when I saw this headline I legitimately forgot about his dad and uncle both being assassinated. My brain went straight to the brain worms.
It's honestly kind of crazy he's not just a Jeb! type guy whose only notable feature is his last name.
What a completely random thing to do.
It makes sense to me. Biden and Trump have Secret Service detail already. RFK does not. Biden wants to make sure that it at least looks like all 3 candidates are being protected from more violence.
But why ~~J~~RFK Jr and not Jill Stein or Cornell West?
While I don't endorse the guy, I think you forgot (L) Chase Oliver. I bring this up only because the Libertarian candidates usually get more votes than the leftist candidates and I'm pretty sure they're listed on more state's ballots.
-Personally speaking, I'll be one of the "three people" voting for one of the other two candidates mentioned
Yep. I vote Libertarian every Presidential election.
Because neither of them have polled high enough to qualify for it, neither has the libertarian candidate, even RFK Jr. wasn't polling well enough for it, which is why Biden had to order this, and it wasn't done automatically.
He's also a Kennedy, so his chance of being assassinated is probably higher than your average candidate.
Assassination is hereditary!?
For the Kennedys it certainly seems so
Because more than three people will vote for RFK Jr.
Also, JFK Jr. is dead.
Dozens of us will be voting 3rd party.
For Trump, you mean. You're voting to get Trump elected. So lie to yourself if you like, but you're voting for Trump.
that's not how the transitive property works
Nice try!
You are trying to get us to vote for the duopoly, but I am most likely voting for a third party.
Green Party for the long-term goal of breaking the two-party system.
Do not forget my mantra:
We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!
Should've had secret service protection long before now. The guys had to relatives assassinated.
