I don't think enough people realize that if they WASTE their vote on RFK Jr, who has ZERO chance of winning, you risk NEITHER candidate getting 270 electoral votes, and then Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and Lauren Boebert get to pick FOR you.
And those MAGA clowns will 100% pick trump.
So I'll say it AGAIN:
A vote for RFK Jr is a vote for trump.

1. That pic of TSF/RFK on Threads is Dead on!

TY & Brookyn Dad Defiant.

OT.. what happened to Mastodon?

4. Mastodon i get onto in the evening.

[Cha]

5. Thanks.

[Initech]

2. Yup, it's gaslighting 101.

Fuck RFK and his enablers and anyone who votes for him.

3. Think most people realize what a vote for 3rd party candidate would do. They are just fed up with situation, and don't

want to prolong the gridlock we have now with our two party system.

I'm solid Biden and Dem, but I am tired of no real progress on healthcare, bolstering SS, climate, and similar major issues.

Pointing fingers at the other side is getting old (no matter how at fault they are), but now is clearly not time for a protest vote. If this junk keeps up, I forsee a chance for a 3rd party candidate in 2028.

6. You don't honestly think anyone but Republicans are to blame for lack of

healthcare, bolstering SS, climate, and similar major issue legislation?

[Biophilic]

8. You do realize that until we have a majority in both house and senate things will move slowly.

If Democrats had the senate and the house with Joe as president we could probably accomplish a lot. Until then it’s politics and more politics.

[Silent Type]

10. If that happens great. Until it does, we are languishing with healthcare, climate, etc.

We are doing an excellent job of fighting GOPer BS, but something has to change (but not this year unless we actually capture Presidency and both chambers of Congress).

[Biophilic]

11. That's what I'm hoping and working towards.

14. Serious question: How would a third party President work?

If the Republicans won't work with a Democratic President, why would they work with a third party one. Conversely, if they would work with one, meaning he or she was sufficiently RW enough for them, do you assume Democrats would be willing to work with such a person? We do not have a coalition system in this country, maybe someday we will, but for now it's a two party system and there is no viable third party with sufficient infrastructure to challenge either two.

[Silent Type]

15. Because presumably a successful 3rd Party would include former Democrats and GOPers

who are willing to compromise to get something done. For example I’m fine holding out for a 24 week to viability threshold on abortions, but that means that a bunch of people will still live in states where abortion is banned or strictly limited.

Pipe dream maybe, but I bet a bunch of folks see no end to gridlock.

Again, this is not the year.

9. Yeah well those who vote for RF K are Stupid.. and there's "NO Real Progress"

Because the Traitors have the House.

There's No GD Excuse for 3rd party Assholes... That will set PROGRESS BACK into the Abyss if TSF gets in Again.

Dems Need All Hands On Deck.. The other "party" is the party of Fascist and Putin.. it doesn't take a genius to Know Which Party is Living in Reality!!

7. I can't see anyone voting for RFK Jr other than someone crazy enough to

vote for Trump. It may hurt Trump more.

[Elessar Zappa]

12. He's not going to get any electoral votes.

So reaching 270 will happen for either Trump or Biden. I’m confident it will be Biden.

[MadameButterfly]

13. It only hinders 270 electoral votes if RFK Jr. gets enough votes to win a state

Is there really polling that says that is possible? RFK could skew the vote toward Trump or Biden but I don't see him winning a single state.

[TheKentuckian]

16. There is no serious intent to win even a single state.

The play is to thousand paper cut Democrats to defeat to advance Chump and Putin.

[MadameButterfly]

17. So at least let's drop the worry that he'll cause no one to get to 270

and throw the vote to the House.

The question is will he take from Trump who he is clearly more aligned with, or are there enough people out there clueless enough to vote just for his name? and we are presuming those people would be Democrats.

in this case, I think 6 more months of campaigning favors Biden. Many voters now just know the Kennedy name.

[elocs]

18. Too many Democratic voters and ones on the Left consider themselves to be too noble & principled

to vote for who they perceive is the lesser of 2 evils when in this election it will be either Biden or Trump who will be the next president. That's it. It's sad that they seem unable to grasp the simple concept that our presidential elections are binary even after what happened with Al Gore and Hillary Clinton.

[usonian]

19. A third party vote is an abstain, and recall Hillary.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=18851289

I'm reminding everyone what we got when people stayed home because Hillary wasn't PERFECT.

That crap agenda is what they are voting for.
