I suppose, but every time there's been a third party candidate that has gained any traction, he's been terrible. Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader... even Donald Trump himself made a third party attempt in 2000 and got a lot further than he should have.
It’s because the two-party system is a systemic problem. Our winner-take-all voting system always punishes similar candidates, so if similar groups don’t form a coalition and choose a single candidate to run for them, they will cannibalize each other and surely lose. So, you inevitably end up with two parties each representing all the factions on one side of the spectrum.
As a result, anybody on the national level who decides to run as a third party candidate (a) doesn’t understand our voting system, (b) is just doing it for the publicity, or (c) is out of their mind.
If we had a different voting system that did not punish similar candidates (like ranked choice), not only would quality third parties be possible, they would be inevitable.
after reading this article, it makes a lot of sense that joe rogan said RFK jr was the "only candidate that makes sense"
“Somebody will send me something and I’ll go ‘Holy cow, did you see this?’,” he said, describing how he credulously forwards fake content to his children, only for them to have to correct him. (Kennedy said that, unlike him, his children can identify fake images “immediately.”)
this reads exactly like something joe rogan would do
That just screams boomer to me. It reminds me that growing up, my parents told me to not believe everything I read on the internet. If only they would take their own advice...
Joe Rogan just wants funny shit to happen. He doesn't give a shit about how the country is run. The only reason he's not picking Trump now is because it's less funny now than it was when he beat Hillary.
It's 2011. The brain worms have gained control. RFKJR is a mere puppet. The worms try to navigate human interactions but are easily confused by the complexities of human life. They don't understand lying so sometimes they make errors like this one. Brain worms, you're not supposed to admit you're a gullible fool! You're supposed to play it cool and say you'd never fall for misinformation even though it's a lie. Take notes.
to be fair, he's from new york so he knows a lot of people... he knows Harvey Weinstein, he knew Roger Ailes... OJ Simpson came to his house... He knows Bill Cosby.
(paraphrased from his actual defense against questions regarding Epstein)
I could have missed some recent info drops but last I heard (and I know this is very weird but that seems on brand for RFK) he brought his wife and kids to meet Epstein somewhere to dig for fossils or some shit lol. So not nearly as bad as hanging out at the mansion of horrors on Epstein Island but he did bring his family and kids around that freak so idk if it's that much better and who knows what actually went down too they still could have gotten into some terrible stuff wherever they were.
Big problem of the two party system: the votes of the crazy constituents get spread to the mainstream parties instead of getting diluted to some crazy parties. RFK Jr. might work to help with that.
If someone sends you something that says we landed on Mars and made contact with other life forms, a respectable person researches it before passing that information along as possibly real.. Not send it to people and say "holy cow have you seen this" and then have them respond telling you youve fallen for crazy junk again.
It shows that he incapable of taking care of himself and requires a caretaker.
It's fine to make a mistake, or fall for something, it happens. It should be rare though, especially if you are running to be responsible for the lives of hundreds of millions of people directly, and billions indirectly.
