          I’m aware. They’re funded by GOP PACs, but running on moderate platforms, for one reason only.

          To get Trump elected.

          They know anyone educated enough to seek out a moderate candidate wouldn’t have voted for Trump in the first place.

            Really? The 3rd party candidates are all receiving funds from the GOP? You super sure about that or did you blatantly lie knowing only Kennedy received any funding from the GOP.

            I feel like this is fruitless to explain if you could draw this conclusion for yourself. None of the 3rd party candidates are running to get anyone but themselves elected. Noone is going to risk the cost and exposure for ANY campaign unless they think they can win. If there is doubt, political strategy 101 is to just lay low and move focus to the next election.

            All the GOP is following is another 101 tiered strategy: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. There wouldn’t be a single suit in DC who would support anyone in either the GOP or DNC if they morally chose not to give donations to parties drawing voters away from the competition.

            “They know anyone educated enough to seek out a moderate candidate wouldn’t have voted for Trump in the first place.”

            Whew, that’s got to be the hottest take I’ve ever heard. Hahaha. So by this logic, all the intelligent undecides will be too smart to vote for Trump so they are going to support… someone who thinks chemicals in the water make you feel like a woman but grow a dick at the same time? Isn’t that Kennedy’s thing? Chemicals in the water are creating more transgenders?

            You do realize Trump left office with 39% polling that they thought life would improve under another 4 years of Trump. As of this article, the same question polled with 42% supporting Trump now. Those additional 3% of support, sure as shit didnt come from devout liberals, right? They prolly more than likely had a chance of coming from the undecideds.

            Either way, I’m not picking on you. You do you boo. I would just recommend not making arguments with 2 out of 3 paragraphs containing wildly incorrect information. People might think you’re an idiot.🍻

          The link in the comment you responded to quotes Trump suggesting that Israel should take out everyone in Gaza, just don’t record it. Netanyahu named a village after Trump. Don’t be blind to Trump’s agenda.

        aaaand we both get downvoted for implying this is gonna hurt his reelection. People are in fucking denial about the damage this is doing to him. He’s gonna drive a bunch of people to third party but, of course, never enough for this to become a 3 party country and what does that do? Put trump back in the fucking white house.

          Therein lies the problem with trying to help both sides. Pro Israel people say Biden isn’t doing enough for Israel. Pro Palestine folks say Biden isn’t doing enough for Gaza. Netanyahu has a violent mind that Biden can’t control. Hamas is beyond Biden’s control. People on both side want to punish Biden for not being on their side. So do we elect a dictator who will maintain favorability by pushing dissenters out of helicopters at 30,000 feet?

            These people are trash and, at the end of the day, would probably not be voting for Biden in the first place.

            He’s literally suppling the weapons to power this genocide.

            Netanyahu has a violent mind that Biden can’t control.

            Remember recently those parents that faced charges after a school shooting because they knew he was fucked in the head and bought him a gun anyways? Thats like defending the parents. He cant control him but STOP GIVING HIM FUCKING GUNS

            So do we elect a dictator who will maintain favorability by pushing dissenters out of helicopters at 30,000 feet?

            Your weird ass extreme at the end is pointless. Nobody was talking about this. I am just pointing out he is really fucking hurting himself with his whole ‘pro genocide’ act with this shit and at the end of the day it might be the shit that splits the vote badly enough that we end up with Trump again.

              You live in a bubble. These are absolutely people voting for Biden
