I have been around a very long time. I have been a staunch Democrat, got disgusted, became a Republican -- not much there either. But for the first time in my life, I think many, many of us from BOTH sides are looking for something that is different from the current morass in which the country and we voters find ourselves. I am ready, willing and able to promote and vote third party. And I feel good saying that (much to my surprise...lol). The Republicans were once a third party and rose to be one of the top two. The time has come to do it again -- marking the emergence of the still-larger-than-all-the-other-groups REAL middle class as a political force once again. Count me in.

I have never voted Democrat in all my years of voting. I am 67. But my home state of Texas had open primaries, and I am planning, this year, to vote in the Democrat primary for Bobby Kennedy Jr. if voting for him means voting third party, I will definitely do that. It is certainly time for another Kennedy to be in the White House.

Similar Texan here, although I have always been a bi-partisan voter. Love our open primaries. Voted for Tulsi last time around. My dream ticket has her as VP.

It is the same in my country - the main parties we call the uni party- I always got for other options.

RFK, Jr., It is time to start a new party ticket, independent of the others; one which other future candidates will be grateful and proud to run on; one which is lawfully founded on the ethics and values of all humanity, no corporate bribes, and instead completely supported by the People. I pray I am not alone in this critical request--it is time, and you are the one to initiate the christening!

THIS situation has to be the most BLATANT EVIDENCE OF ELECTION TAMPERING AND FRAUD. The Treasonous, dementia-ridden Pedophile's Master out of The City of London is certain of winning regardless of MURDERING THE CONSTITUTION AND OBVIOUS TREASON.

It's clear the DNC prefers RFK, Jr. dead. They want him eliminated from this election, and they don't care how it happens.

I've been posting for months that he must run as an independent if he wants to be on the ballot in the general election. The DNC simply won't allow him to win the nomination, no matter how many votes he gets in the primaries.

I believe RFK, Jr. would draw equally from Trump and Biden. Both have an equal number of detractors. Even many Democrats are concerned about Biden's sanity (he's demented and a puppet, and we all know it).

RFK, Jr. has a genuine shot at winning the presidency as an independent. The US is ripe for an independent. Tens of millions of Americans are sick and tired of Biden and Trump, Democrats and Republicans. RFK, Jr fills an enormous centrist niche.

I am for Bobby Kennedy, Jr., in whatever way that works. I have found, in my individual life, that labels fall away when something new and more beautiful arises. Just because we have been doing things one way, does not make it wrong to try something else, especially when what we are doing isn't working on the side of 'everyone gets their needs met'.

I’m not a Republican apologist, but the left (globally) certainly does not want to “heal the divide”. Their goal is Divide and Conquer and the chaos everywhere is evidence that they’re succeeding.

Forget the DNC. Start your own

Party or run as a independent. Praying for safety. What a wicked regime the Biden mafia run.

Reader and fan weighs in: Do an article on pros/ cons of Independent vs Write In vs Libertarian and how does it relate to r DSA

Kennedy would so fit in the Libertarian Party. Be careful if the object is to get more votes than Trump. The Democratic opponent could be Michelle Obama. Barry wants his 4th & 5th Terms.

Please do it and consider sending out less marketing/email --- not enough time in the day to give serious consideration to 3 or 4 messages a day. Almost missed this message asking for a reply...

Without Bobby in the White House, America is burnt toast. He must be on the ballot and it appears that the only way that can happen is through a third party. He's our only hope.

So shameful of the DNC….RFK Jr has my vote!

I am really excited about almost everything RFK, Jr says. And I would much rather see him win, instead of Brandon or the orange man. So I'm not sure whether maybe I should just be happy for him and his supporters. But:

(1) Why is he taking such an aggressively anti-Palestinian position with respect to Israel? And why did he cheerily accept a challenge to debate Max Blumenthal about this topic, and then renege on the deal?

(2) Why was the domain name "kennedy2024.com" registered way back in 2016? How long has this candidacy been planned, and who has been doing the planning?

It's easy to forget now, that a lot of people were really excited about Barack Obama when he first appeared on the national scene as a presidential candidate. He turned out to be quite a scoundrel, and all of that effort could have gone into a better candidate.

With a tiny amount of retuning of RFK's basic platform, he could become a very good candidate for the Libertarian Party, the largest of the third parties, FWIW. Have him take the World's Smallest Political Quiz for confirmation.
