    But why JRFK Jr and not Jill Stein or Cornell West?

      Because more than three people will vote for RFK Jr.

      Also, JFK Jr. is dead.

        The mainstream media only wants you to think JFK Jr. is dead.

          For Trump, you mean. You’re voting to get Trump elected. So lie to yourself if you like, but you’re voting for Trump.

            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!

                Yes, but as a counterpoint, they didn’t get the pony they expected.

      For probably 2 or 3 reasons:

      • To bring attention to RFK Jr to help remove votes from Trump

      • RFK Jr is much more known to right wingers, who are also more violent. They don’t even really know of Cornell West or Jill Stein enough to care. RFK Jr is running opposite of Trump on the Right wingers side, whereas the other two will only strip votes from leftwing/Biden side

      • Kennedy Curse, they shouldn’t have lobotomized Rosemary Kennedy. So anything could happen to ol brain worms

      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.

      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

          Good to know. According to the logic of some of the people (not me) around here, that must mean you support Biden.
