On September 9, the Michigan Supreme Court issued an opinion in Robert F. Kennedy, Jr v Secretary of State, 167545, putting him back on the ballot against his wishes. The midlevel court had allowed his to withdraw, but now he can’t withdraw. However, the opinion was a victory for the Natural Law Party of Michigan, which had nominated him and did not want him to withdraw.
Meanwhile the socialist Working Class Party didn’t nominate anyone again this year.
Seriously, though, how is it legal to force someone to win in an election against their will? Just let the poor man drop out already. They spent months trying to kick him off the ballot. Democrats need to stop wasting all of our time.
If RFK Jr. was elected President, what is the penalty for him refusing to take the oath of office? Compulsory candidacy is fascist idiocy.

Robert Kennedy’s name stays on the ballot, Michigan Supreme Court says
The Natural Law party thinks it’s a victory to hold a presidential candidate hostage despite his desire to get off the ballot? That’s wild.

Yes, the Natural Law Party is… weird…
Take a stroll down memory-lane back to that time when their then-candidate for president – an acclaimed string theorist – talked about four-thousand people into bouncing around Washington DC on their asses for almost two months, so as to reduce crime rates and inflation…
Yeah, I’m sure the Natural Law Party knows more about Natural Law than Thomas Aquinas /s

13th amendment seems applicable.
