RFK, Jr. to Announced Independent Presidential Campaign on Mon, Oct 9 — 28 Comments

  1. He would save lots of $ and time to run under an existing minor party that already has some ballot-status and access to some dedicated petitioners. He and his backers could then try to increase the number of states.

  2. I will vote for him because his decision proves he has BALLS. Trump and Biden have been neutered.

  3. You get what you pay for. Lots of potential pitfalls out there for the nonprofessional. I could name at least half a dozen just here in WV. Rotsa ruck.

  4. Getting ballot access in a sufficient number of states to be a viable candidate will take a knowledgeable and competent project team to manage it, a large number of volunteers to gather the signatures and a whole lot of money to accomplish.

  5. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is capable of raising enough money to have a realistic shot at getting 50 state plus DC ballot access as am independent. If he has to spend $30 million or more on ballot access he can do it.

  6. Chances are, he will do what Rocky dela Fuente has done, and get on the ballot thru single state third parties.

    Either the American Independent or Peace and Freedom parties could get him on in California, which would be a big savings for him, and might actually make things interesting there in 2024

  7. In any event, RFK-2 running as an independent candidate could be good for ballot access. Maybe he will file some ballot access suits that create new precedents.

  8. Not to mention the fact that, if he gets on the ballot in all the key swing states – which he should make as a priority – chances are good that no one will carry any swing state with a 50%+ majority, thus improving the case for alternative voting methods – at least for President -in those states.

  9. Why would I vote for a Kennedy when I’m right-wing? When you are six years old standing by the railroad tracks watching a train go by with a dead Presidents coffin with people around you hysterically crying and remember seeing Jackie standing by herself on the rear car dressed in widows black attire looking sad. That dramatic childhood memory sticks in your mind forever because you and others were helpless at that time to fix it……….until now.

  10. People will not vote for this Kennedy out of nostalgia. His message is different that the usual liberal pablum that Kennedy’s serve up.

  11. HAS RFK2 BEEB DISOWNED BY MASS KENNEDY CLAN/GANG ???

    FOR HIS ANY NON-COMMIE ACTIONS ???

    1968- COMMIE TET OFFENSIVE IN VIETNAM WAR – REGARDLESS OF 5 YEARS OF JOHNSON LIES
    JOHNSON NOT RUNNING FOR PREZ IN 1968
    ML KING KILLED
    RFK KILLED
    COP RIOT AT DEM NATL CONVENTION
    NIXON IS BAACK AND WINS IN NOV

    EVEN MORE CHAOS NOW TO JAN 20, 2025 ???

  12. Robert Facts Kennedy is the only one that will stand against Big Pharma , stand for medical Freedom ,only man that truly cares for the welfare of the American people.

  13. 7 months to LNC convention. Makes sense for RFK to organize an Independent effort first then consider the LP nomination after proving his level of support and libertarian bona fides.

  14. How does a guy who has never been part of the Libertarian Party or the libertarian movement have any libertarian bona fides?

    This is ridiculous. I have been involved with the Libertarian Party and movement since 1996 and I have NEVER heard anyone, including RFK Jr. himself, refer to RFK Jr. as a libertarian.

    RFK Jr. is good for a Democrat. He is the only current Democrat of whom I am aware who says anything sensible. He sounds better than the typical mainstream politician.

    None of this makes him a libertarian.

    The name of the political party is the Libertarian Party. It is not and should not be the Ballot Access Party for anyone with fancy credentials or a big name or a lot or money.

    The purpose of the Libertarian Party is to run Libertarian candidates who espouse libertarian views and who seek to use the political process to steer the country in a libertarian direction.

    One can’t do this unless they are actually a libertarian.

  15. ANDY-

    LP IS A DEFAULT MACHINATION FOR THE CULT WANNABEE MONARCHS WHO FAIL TO GET DD/RR NOMINATIONS — ESP FOR USA PREZ.

    MAJOR FACTOR — THE ANTI-DEMOCRACY NATL/STATE LP BYLAWS — OFTEN VARIANT COPIES OF GOP BYLAWS FROM EARLY 1970S

    —- HAVING OLIGARCH STATE/NATL CONVENTIONS.

    WILL ANY RFK2-LP MACHINATION INCREASE DD/RR CONSPIRACY PRESSURE TO DE FACTO WIPE ALL 3RD PARTIES AND INDEES OFF OF ALL BALLOTS ???
    —-
    P-A-T

    INTO ALL PARTY BYLAWS

  16. All this ballot access censorship is designed to, and effectively does, suppress dissenting candidates and votes from breaking free of the fascist duopoly grip on power. Still people vote as if that ballot could accomplish anything beyond trivial team sport rooting.
    A real ballot does not prevent the voter from choosing whomever they want for any office.
    Maybe RFK Jr. will acknowledge ballot censorship make an issue of it. Maybe.

  17. Gato–it’s a medical problem. Walter–there is zero chance of RFK, Jr. getting AIP nomination.

  18. My name is Edward TJ Brown. I am not an actual whale, but a Nazi who wants to drive whales to extinction with wind farms because I hate them due to penis envy. Heil Hitler!

  19. RFK’s pending announcement in Philadelphia will be a welcome response to the rigging by the DNC, which
    has so underhandedly stacked the deck that Kennedy cannot possibly win even if he wins. No way would
    I vote for a party so insecure and so corrupt and so contemptuous of its voters that it cannot see the forest
    for the trees and takes fair-minded voters for granted. Not this one! I’m all in on RFK, no matter what
    party banner he runs under, simply because he tells the truth – a rare trait for so many politicians of both
    parties these days that are so shamelessly on the take. RFK is the only candidate that is capable of halting
    our country’s fast track to the bottom by putting an end to the revolving door corruption that fuels it.
