I feel like if most Americans knew just how nearly impossible it is for an independent candidate to get on the ballot, they would be outraged.

This is one of the best results of Kennedy's run for President: paving the way for future independent candidates to overcome ridiculous challenges to their candidacy.

way too early to assume anything, as one or two states determine a close election

and it is by no means close

And impressed at Kennedy’s accomplishment. Making it worth a serious look.

and if the bar is set too low, then who about 200 contestants?

Clearly it is not impossible as RFK has demonstrated.

There is plenty to be "outraged" about like election theft of 2020 and the endless lawfare cases...

typed what about and auto correct to the rescue makes people look illiterate

This is momentous for several reasons. Mr Kennedy’s campaign has validated the suspicion of millions of Americans ‘and to citizens of other nations’ - that the entire United States election system is rigged against real democracy. Despite going against walls of money and dozens of bogus legal actions from corrupt anti democracy organizations he/WE are prevailing. RFK Jr has proved ‘all is not lost’ and our great experiment in self governance is not beyond redemption. Robert Kennedy is presenting in concise detail the insidious nature of greed derived industry, and its subversive influence throughout our federal system and its ultimate toxicity in every dimension of our lives. Yes, the concerns, fears, we all share have merit and quite frankly ‘are far worse than suspected.’ This rare leader is providing voice and documentation to the darkness of unbridled American capitalism. Through the intelligence and moral courage of Robert F Kennedy Jr we have the ‘uniparty’ backpedaling. The secret cult is losing sleep as well as their influence over us. The teeth of the hideous kleptocracy gnash and the hands are wringing, as the sunlight of truth succinctly, expertly exposes their inhumanity toward us. From the heart and mind of his leadership, Robert F Kennedy Jr, and each of us, is “sending out a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” To all my fellow Americans this is the time to go to the mirror and ask yourself ‘what can I do for my country’. The time has come, the moment is upon us to reclaim our nation. Let’s bring this thing over the finish line, who’s with me?!

I talked to a group of Zoomers that were over 18 and asked who they were voting for President. Two didn't know (not gonna vote), one was "was gonna vote for Kennedy but now Harris... probably" and the other was "Harris" cause "colored woman." OK.

Kennedy has def lost some numbers among his stronghold in the youth. However, Harris is gonna get hit hard now. Undisclosed shadows are gonna emerge. This is probably her highpoint, but lets see. Trump may need to get Kennedy into the debate if Harris has another bump from the DNC, so there are a number of wildcards left to play out.

Harris is currently benefitting in the polls from "response bias" - excitement among the Democratic Party base who feel for the first time in awhile that they can actually win. This, combined with 24/7 pro-Harris propaganda from the media, is also temporarily swaying some undecided voters.

Both will pass, and in the coming month or two, reality will set in.

and that reality will be?? DJT by the largest landslide in the history of this Republic.

The Fake News, the Fake Polls, and the oligarchs are trembling

WW3 is a great excuse to stall the election

Expand full comment

there really are stupid people, why would you say that DJT needs to get RFK into debate?

He is so far ahead and Harris is so well hated that the fair results are in.

Expand full comment

Now, it is important if he qualifies for the debates, I.e. if enough states will be validated to bring him to 270 possible electoral votes. Otherwise the corporate machine will keep him out again

BRAVO -- and why Trump will likely lose in 2024 election:

The US bipartisan criminal War party is financed by same Big Business donors. DNC is led by intelligence agencies and organized crime.

GOP is led by religious lunatics and evangelical Zionists – the reason why Trump will likely lose 2024 election.

The genocide in Gaza is a USA genocide (Israeli Nazis are “just” the executioners) – the whole horrified world knows it. And – that each and all paid and bought member of Congress/Senate has an AIPAC babysitter.

Whatever one thinks of Alex Jones – he has prophetic grasp and vision, a la William Blake – here is the latest: “Evangelical Zionists Pushing the World Into Armageddon -- For many American Christians, it will always be Israel First.”

It was not an election in 2020 it was a selection

Highly doubtful they can cheat this time around.

The DNC has been outed by RFK, The RINOS outed by DJT who

just happens to be so far ahead that he is the most popular candidate in American History.

Alex Jones has been attacked and wrongfully bankrupted. They have tried to do the same to

DJT and he has consistently been 3 steps ahead. So the assassination attempt. That also failed and he has turned it into gold. So he will not loose, he will win "bigly"

unless the Deep State operatives can cheat again.

Submitted is not the same as approved, and the 8 remaining states need ID.

It is a monumental accomplishment, and took concerted efforts.

The DNC is in full panic mode. DJT is not concerned.

I did not know that Ross Perot received nearly 19% of the vote in 1992, despite constant statements in mainstream media that he could not win, and anyone voting for him was ‘wasting’ their vote. If people thought he could gain this many votes with all of the negative hype, he actually might have won, as no one was in love with the other two.

Clinton received about 43%, and George HW Bush 37%. Despite the 19%, Perot received zero electoral votes due to many states having ‘winner take all’ rules. This is wrong; electoral votes should be distributed based on popular vote percentages in a state.

I think alternate parties should be able to run in all 50 states, perhaps with some small number of signatures like 1,000. Also, anyone polling at 5% or more should be allowed in the Presidential debates.
