Anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce Monday that he will drop his Democratic bid for president and run as an independent or third-party candidate, adding a new wrinkle to a 2024 race currently heading toward a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. --- Putin delenda est ...

Could we actually see a 3rd-party candidate that sucks up votes from both sides? IMO, Cornel West will draw more left votes. The interesting thing is, apparently some (most?) states only allow a person to sign a petition for one person per cycle to get on the ballot. RFK Jr running independent and West running independent puts them in direct competition for ballot access in some states. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!

Joe Biden has finally caught a break. Since the messy end of the American occupation of Afghanistan in 2021, both his presidency and his reelection chances have seemed dangerously fragile. Although the American public long ago lost its appetite for continued intervention in Afghanistan, the ugly images of the triumphant Taliban and fleeing refugees undermined faith in Bidens competence. --- Miss the old GameFAQs politics board?

Blake notes that Republicans like Kennedy a heck of a lot more than Democrats do. That was true pretty shortly after he launched his campaign in April, and the gap has now grown into a chasm. The latest polling from Quinnipiac University shows that Republicans like Kennedy by a 30-point margin, 48 percent favorable to 18 percent unfavorable. --- Miss the old GameFAQs politics board?

Could we actually see a 3rd-party candidate that sucks up votes from both sides? Dem support for RFK is like 14%, so some, sure, however he was only polling so well because of Repub voters and right-wing media boosting him. Very likely he takes far more from Trump. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...

Perot sucked votes from GHWB way more than Clinton. He kind of energized some people that were just "out there" too. I don't know what they could be called. Populism, but nothing like the MAGA thing. More like "just run everything like a corporation". That was a weird movement. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!

Questionmarktarius posted... Perot sucked votes from GHWB way more than Clinton.Which votes? The economic conservatives that were furious at Bush for raising taxes and were never going to vote for him in a million years? Perot also was to the left of Bush on most social issues; this was the nineties, democratic voters were "economic conservative/socially liberal" which is where Perot was. If Perot didn't run those votes weren't going to Bush, Clinton would have just beat Bush even harder ... Copied to Clipboard!

RFK Jr is a failson of an awful political dynasty that has most of its worshippers already dead of old age. But the media is giving him far too much oxygen. Yeah, not sure what happened with Cornel. There was a period between like 1995-2000 where he was a major academic whose opinion was sought on almost everything related to domestic politics. Had some very forward thinking and very progressive ideas. IMO, he changed after Obama was elected. I hear he wanted some kind of "upper middle" position in the Obama Administration, and when that wasn't going to happen, he started down this current path. Also heard he was disappointed about his seating at the Inauguration. He had some personal scandals with at least one grad student getting pregnant (which wrecked his marriage) and other shit around that time too. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!
