RFK Jr, like the other third party candidates, is running as a spoiler to help Trump — his staff have even said so:

The only way that Trump can even, remote possibility of taking New York is if Bobby is on the ballot. If it’s Trump vs. Biden, Biden wins. Biden wins six days, seven days a week. With Bobby in the mix, anything can happen

    Seriously, who the fuck cares about this guy? Who sees him and says, “there’s the guy that’ll get enough votes for president that I’m willing to throw mine away.”

      Look around lemmy. You have tons of people saying they don’t like either candidate or their vote doesn’t matter so they won’t vote. Imagine how many people out there are willing to vote for a candidate from a dynasty.

          Oftentimes they’re just useful idiots who troll for free or just naive young people who would rather take an ineffective moral stance than compromise and accomplish real positive change.

          There is a widespread sentiment of “I’m not voting for Genocide Joe” while refusing to be mature enough to realize the next president will either be Trump or Biden and Biden is clearly the better chance.

          As a long time Sanders supporter I’d love someone better on the ballot, but I voted for Hillary and I’ll vote for Biden because our current system doesn’t allow any other options.

          In the adult world our choices are often a turd sandwich or a shit taco - I currently work at a PE controlled company with fantastic coworkers, I could jump ship but my work satisfaction is almost certainly higher where I am… even with the constant cuts and exploitation.
