Robert F. Kennedy Jr enters in White House race as an independent
2023-10-10
[GEO.TV] Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced Monday that he is running for the White House as an independent candidate, opting out of the Democratic party nomination as the struggle for the victory in 2024 intensified.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr — who is also regarded as an anti-vaccine conspirator — is likely to cut former President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
's votes, according to analysts, posing more threat to the billionaire than Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....
.

It is stated that the main competitors of the 2024 presidential polls will be Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

But in a tight race, a third-party candidate siphoning even a few votes from the 80-year-old Biden in battleground states could be bad news for the Democrat.

Analysts also state that a long-time spreader of misinformation about public health and a darling of the right-wing US media would take more votes away from the Republican forerunner.
"Analysts say" = Democrats whistling past the graveyard
"I've come here today to declare our independence from the tyranny of corruption which robs us of affordable lives, our belief in the future and our respect for each other," the son of Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy told supporters in Philadelphia.

"But to do that, I must first declare my own independence: Independence from the Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
, from all other political parties."

The 69-year-old former environmental lawyer has long identified as a Democrat and invoked his assassinated father in an anecdote about the 1968 campaign trail.

#4  Cornel West is also going independent by abandoning the Green Party.

Because of the rules for getting on the ballot, neither West nor Kennedy is likely to be on more than about 30 State ballots.
