I am astounded again at the caliber of character that Bobby Kennedy has. I so appreciate his willingness to stand for those who have suffered injustice, many times outside his own trajectory as candidate but because he will not stand by and watch injustice handed down when he knows he can do something about it. God Bless you and Keep you and all your family safe, Bobby Kennedy.

I certainly do not look forward to ANOTHER round of Biden/Trump being forced upon us as our only choice. As I said when presented with that choice THE FIRST TIME.

When the two national party leaderships (who have been legally determined to be PRIVATE CORPORATIONS with NO legal obligations to look after the interests of the (mere!) American people) conned, chicaned and generally hornswoggled the REST OF US into having ONLY a choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, my spontaneous reaction was to yell, "YOU £U€KER$ AREN'T EVEN PRETENDING ANYMORE, ARE YOU?!!"

And yes, I understood that voter frustration and the desire to (metaphorically) throw a BRICK through the Oval Office's picture window WAS going to put Trump in, because I'm not a utterly disconnected DNC tool.

All that being said, and being grateful for any semblance of a POSSIBLE third party emerging in USA national politics???

I will need to see the data and methodology of generating that lovely multi axis infographic. Because by my age, I know figures may not lie, but liars will always figure- And that things which look too good to be true AREN'T.

Speaking of being on the ballot, here's The Unpopulist's viewpoint :

"Allowing Trump on the Ballot Is What Is Truly Anti-Democratic"

"Insisting he be treated as a normal candidate ignores the reality that he isn’t one."

Nobody "normal" and capable of the required leadership is stupid enough to want the US presidency these coming 4 years. Yes, Donald Trump is a fictional character. Joe Biden is a senile and utterly compromised tool. Either will be required to go along with our long running MIC/oligarch centric foreign policy programs.

RFK Jr. is either a dead man walking or has already/will have to make a deal with that same Devil, the contract will grant said Devil choice of timing re: taking possession of collateral.

Right about now, some oligarchy facilitators over at the Agency are muttering "3rd time is the charm" while drafting those contingency plans.

DO take a careful look at RFK Jr.'s choice of VP., it will tell you some things you need to know- As much as we need to understand why LBJ and Harry Truman were selected as the backups to two presidents who enraged our oligarchy by actually trying to MAKE THEIR OWN FOREIGN POLICY, we need to consider who is going to be a heart beat away from some number of years in the presidency if RFK Jr. is allowed to be elected.

I'm serious; one of the easiest ways to impress voters is to write in complete sentences, rather than brain dead nonsense.

How much was spent on paid signature gatherers in Utah?

"“We were litigating this case at the same we were getting signatures.” "

Same WHAT? Quit being so amateurish, read this over for errors, and include the missing word.

As a Utah native by birth, one great feature there is that they make it easier for Independents to achieve ballot status.

@Jayeson Vance

Nice feature, we should all have that. How often have Independents won after getting on the UT ballot? (I am asking about Federal elections- US Senate, Congress, presidency)
