    Then the Dems would have nothing to fear by letting him run in the primary, right? Oh wait…if he got even 1 delegate, they couldn’t have just handed the nomination to Harris. There might have been a debate or a vote? The party that’s “defending democracy” can’t have that, I guess.

    And in some instances, both sides actually do the same shit. Can you really not see that since at least Perot, if not McGovern, they’ve both been doing whatever possible to exclude third parties when they’re a threat, or support them when it’s convenient?

    I bet you think professional wrestling is real too…

      If you think rfk was ever a real candidate and not a prop from the right wing to disrupt the democrat turnout then I mostly just feel sorry for you.

      I’m guessing you’re the kind of person that would wanna hear “both sides” on topics like was the holocaust actually a good thing or not.

        Who cares who got RFK to run? Let the candidates debate, and let the citizens vote. Why are so many people scared of that concept that no one is talking about the fact that the DNC rigged three consecutive primaries?

        I do believe that just about every major issue that this country/world is facing deserves a more nuanced discussion than just the ® and (D) party platforms. Life is rarely that simple. Wouldn’t you like to have had a better idea of where Harris stands on everything and maybe have been questioned and challenged a bit before the convention? Or are you just happy to have a not-Trump candidate that isn’t senile?

          It would be nice to have a nuanced discussion, but before that can happen going to have to convince the opposition to stop sending some crazy guy that screams lies about people eating dogs and cats to debate with.

          That’ll only happen if the crazy guy loses.
