In a race certain to be close, third-party candidates are not only a problem for President Joe Biden, they may pose his biggest hurdle to reelection.

        RFK is way more appealing to the maga crowd than mainstream or progressive Dems.

            Who? I’ve literally never heard of this person prior to now. And I’d like to think I stay fairly up-to-date on US politics.

            So yeah, I’m going to go with probably not.

              He’s pretty well known among the folks that are big on social justice and environmental issues. I would argue that he’s the biggest name to be on the Green ticket since Nader.

              And he doesn’t have to be know by everyone to fuck over Biden. This is going to be a close race. Spoiling a race means that it could come down to a few more votes than normal for the Greens.

              Edit: he’s running as an independent now.

                The best way to discredit him is with his stance on Ukraine.

                https://www.newsweek.com/cornel-west-blames-nato-russias-war-ukraine-1812320

                He’s going the with “NATO forced them to” talking point, and he’s against additional funding for Ukraine. I don’t think many people truly on the left will pick him over Biden. Let’s hope not, at least.

                  To be fair, he’s against the US providing international military aid and funding across the board, not just Ukraine.
