Thursday News Round Up – RFK Jr. Calls Out Partisanship and Punches Back against Biden and Trump
“George Washington warned that this kind of cynicism would overrun partisan politics in his Farewell Address. He didn’t want political parties because he thought that they would devolve into these creatures of self-interest, where … the impulse of partisanship … would subsume the patriotic impulses that we have. I think that’s exactly what you see here.” – RFK Jr.

Adam Garrie calls out the attacks against independent presidential candidates: “Even for someone accustomed to a highly polarized political environment, this level of open vindictiveness against independent and third-party candidates is shocking. If Democrats in particular cared about strengthening democracy as much as they claim, they would welcome a plurality of opinions rather than use every means at their disposal to prevent these opinions from being presented to voters.” –Independents Plan to Scale a Mountain on Road to White House | RealClearPolitics.

Why is Biden running?
“But it isn’t a service to the country. The Obama whisperer David Axelrod has desisted from his mid-November suggestion that Joe and Jill rethink a second term run.

There is absolutely no reason why Kennedy could not be on the Libertarian ticket in some states. A political party has the right to nominate anyone, and if the candidate is an independent there is no conflict with any other party. Also, Libertarians should get off their high horse if Kennedy doesn't match up verbatim on each and every issue. A political party needs to be a large enough tent to accommodate reasonable nuances. Kennedy should also look seriously at the platform of the Green Party. He is weak on macroeconomic issues, while the Greens have a certain strength in their support of Dennis Kucinich's 2011 NEED Act that would replace the Federal Reserve with a system of true national currency. Bitcoin does not hack it for macroeconomic policy. The NEED Act does.

If there is no candidate with 270 electoral college votes, it falls to the Congress to decide, doesn't it? Are there enough independent votes to be had there?
