  • I didn’t see a post on this but wondered what y’all’s thoughts on Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy deux running as an independent?

    I saw his Superbowl ad and took a peek at his website. Link below.

    https://www.kennedy24.com

    I figure he’s dead in the water as both parties will team up to squash his candidacy. Still, interesting move with the guy being a Kennedy and all, and his ideas aren’t too half baked from the bit l read.

    Why would the Republicans want to squash his candidacy?

    Well, now that the Rs decided Trump is their answer instead of Ramaswany, it's 3rd party all the way.

  • Too bad he has braindead conspiracy theory takes on vaccines

    Would love a viable third party

  • I still say he’s going to pull votes from Dementia Joe.

    seriously?

    wait, it can't be serious.

    I spent a few minutes on his site and it looks like he’s trying to champion a few things Republicans care about. Shoring up the border, not taking guns away. This is solely based on a few minutes of poking around his site so just a snap guess. I could be wrong there.

    Yes. I'm serious.

    A vote for Biden or Trump endorses the BS in Washington, which must stop. They ( the 2 major parties) aren't representing us, the voters whatsoever. 

    The "lesser of 2 evils" that perhaps many of us have used as a voting tool hasn't worked out either. Please don't try to convince me otherwise.

    I suspect you are. I think he would siphon off more Dems than Reps....

    There is a threat of a 3rd party cross party ticket if the Trump/Biden race becomes a reality but I don't think RFK jr is a serious consideration for that ticket.

    He's a man in the wilderness imo..

    Oh, baloney, sonny. lol. A vote for Trump is the ONLY way we can END the bs corruption in our gov.

    Want me to post articles/links - about the fbi, cia, irs, doj, etc etc participating in undermining our elections, at least recently?

       Go read up on whoreta's fani and her crooked boyfriend (did you watch the hearing grilling them today?) Lies, etc. They will be relieved of their controlling the fake prosecution of Pres Trump.

       You think Trump puts fed "assets" in democrat events? NO. They are all determined to keep their power, Bob. They will destroy anyone who tries to be president and will undermine the power they crave to keep permanently.

      A third party vote is bs - democrats want a third party vote (by REPUBLICATION VOTERS) "haha" while they will vote for biden and the dems.

      It's been proven that a lot of activist dems register as reps to vote against strong candidates to screw up the rep primaries.

    After watching the fake prosecutions, the completely asinine storming of Mar-A-Largo (remember the folder with fbi/intel malfeasance in it? yeah, they frantically wanted it back.)

    the only hope for a free America is re-electing Pres Trump or someone who will also fight the corrupt deep state bureaucrats who are determined to run all of us into submission to a permanent shadow dicktatership.

    Come on, Bob. Let yourself go - think on it.

    yep. the democrats love their free stuff, free ride, free hate, free dishonest fake prosecutions, free social media fame.....

    but you oppose them, and the lefties in our gov will prosecution any opposition on the same grounds.

    I have, quite a bit. 

    I don't have the confidence that some do about Trump. While many point out about how he's an "outsider" that's going to "drain the swamp," etc., he's not an outsider anymore. 

    Trump once again has hurt himself by saying some silly things- regarding Russia & NATO this week. That's his downfall....he doesn't listen to advisors.  He fires people on his "team" more often than Jimmy Haslam did.

    He isn't without value. His economic policies seemed great. That's where he belongs, somewhere in the dept of Commerce, maybe the cabinet post. 

    Insanity is doing the same thing, over & over and expecting a new result. That's why I'm NOT voting D or R for President.

    No Doubt but I don't think it would be the moderate one that would hold your attention. And let's face it Republicans loved Ralph Nader because he drew votes away from the Democrat party. Democrats would probably love to see Nikki Haley as a third party to draw votes away from the Trump camp.

    Ok? Besides the fact we probably have different definitions of moderate I'm not sure why that matters or why you've repeated it twice now. 

    Sure, there are certain potential third parties that would resonate with my beliefs more, but in general just adding any third party would be a good move. Everything would naturally adjust to a Left, Middle, and Right party anyway.

    MAGA breaks away? They're the new right. Traditional Reps join more conservative Dems. Progressive Dems become the new left.

    Same thing probably ultimately happens if the progressive left breaks off first. 

    Or maybe we can get 4 parties? Even better

    And ranked choice voting would be the first step in that happening
