    Intuition says RFK Jr would be a hindrance to Trump and a net positive for Biden, but that's not the case so far in battleground state polls. I'll give him credit for leaning progressive with his VP choice instead of falling into whatever the hell the Libertarian party is today. It's always possible he cools off completely when the election draws closer, but it's looking like whoever loses is going to despise him.

    Kennedy is hastily trying to walk back his claim that convicted January 6 insurrections are "political prisoners" deprived of constitutional rights.

    Echoing Putin, Kennedy said Russia is trying to "de-nazify" Ukraine.

    He's probably on Trump's payroll.

    She wasn’t suggesting that’s the purpose of their campaign, she was expounding on one of the few hypothetical scenarios. I’m sure they are running to win regardless of how slim the chances are. Third party candidates are allowed to run, despite how hard the DNC tries to obstruct them.

    ‘Republicans against Trump’ suggests their purpose is to get Biden, a Democrat, elected.

    Print it.

    Republicans against Trump is who posted that clip, not the person in the clip.
    Like if you quote me, that doesn't necessarily imply you agree with me.
    Of course, you do, secretly, I'm sure.

    I like to think that most of the younger people that are "undecided" or are "now" not voting for Biden, were never going ot in the first place.

    There is more than one issue I disagree with Biden on.

    To be fair “gives weapons to a militaristic regime performing a genocide of innocent civilians in a collective punishment action that is literally a war crime” is a big issue to a lot of people who haven’t yet been ground down to nothing by having to work exploitative hours for pay that isn’t even half of a living wage.
