      We have to wait to find out exactly what happened before passing judgement. His ideas are certainly serious weighty and serious, but even he knows he's a severe long shot no matter what banner he runs under. It could be more about influencing Dems to move left than actually taking votes from Biden. Maybe the threat was the point?

      Don't be surprised if off chance RFK Jr tries or gets the green party nomination. Despite the love from the right for his anti vax shit he a big government environmentalist. He literally said he believes their should be a law to put climate deniers in jail and is for literally getting rid of any big business that denies climate change. People only see his as an anti-vaxxer while his entire life he has been pro extreme left environmentalist. He is an environmentalist lawyer and spend his entire career trying to protect the environment for fucks sake.

    Watch Stein and West's interview on Sabby Sabs. They're both basically saying that Dr. West didn't like all the party politics he had to go through to get the Green nomination. All the compromises and luncheons and handshakes to get certain committes on board, people giving advice on how to speak about a topic, and which topics to stress, etc. He wanted to be free and just deal with the people directly. I think this is a bad sign for how he would act if he ever made it to the White House, where he would have to do 100x the amount of all this if he were president.

    There are way too many of y'all in the comments serious about voting third party.
    Look, I'm from Slovenia and here in Europe we enjoy a literal dozen parties every time we vote, and I want the same for you Americans, but AS THE SYSTEM IS a third party is not viable and will only serve to reduce the chances of winning for one of the two major parties. If you want more parties, *you need reform first.* AS IS, West will take votes from dems and RFKjr from cons.
    _"Oh but I can't in good conscience vote for Joe Biden"_ you say. Friend, politics is not about you. It's not about you having bragging rights about how principled you are, it's about making life better for people. There are voters right now feeling proud of themselves for not voting Biden in 2020 when in practice all they've done is risked hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans having much worse lives under Trump. Your country gains nothing from you feeling better about your voting record, but it does by ensuring a Republican is not in office, any office. I don't like it either, but AS THE SYSTEM IS you're gonna have to choose between one of the two major parties. And if you're progressive at all, or left of center even a bit, or want better working conditions, or a more stable economy, or less far right nonsense, it's gonna have to be a democrat.
    LEARN FROM YOUR ENEMIES: if Trump ran as an independent or third party candidate and took just 2-5% percent from the GOP voting block, democrats have a sure victory.
