Yeah, I know it was a mistake but the responsible thing is to carry that campaign full term.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 24 points 10 months ago

The campaign will reject this naturally

Or some crazy shit i dunno

[-] TrippaSnippa@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago

If it's a legitimate discontinuation the campaign has a way of shutting the whole thing down.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

That so much better than mine haha

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 89 points 10 months ago

This is hilarious.

So. would it be improper to see how many votes he takes from Turnip anyway?

[-] ug01x@lemmy.world 62 points 10 months ago

This will be Trump's latest float in the I got cheated pity parade he is always throwing.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

So. Over/under at let’s say 1% in at least 1 swing state?

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Before the election actually occurs I’m sure he’ll start throwing a tantrum over how all RFK votes should be counted as Trump votes.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 85 points 10 months ago

Insists to be let on, can't get on some, sues to be.

Can't get removed from ballot.

It's just too much

RFK could not be reached for comment, but was reportedly seen in his backyard tying dozens of pigeons to a lawn chair to see if he could fly.

I watched a movie about that guy when I was a kid

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 49 points 10 months ago

I KNOW the Election Fraud people are going to 100% SUPPORT THIS since LEGALLY he CAN'T be Removed from the Ballot!

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago

Lololol. Does brain worm guy think that being on the ballot might draw more votes for the brain worms guy from Republicans than Democrats? Why would he think that, I wonder?

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

This is goddamn hilarious

[-] RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Does anyone think that RFK Jr would be any kind of spoiler? If he got as much as 0.5% of the vote in any state, I'd be floored. I mean, I guess it could be a super-close race, but I don't think it was a given that all of RFK's voters would turn Trump anyway.

[-] magiccupcake@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

. 5% in a swing state is not nothing, could very much make the election in a state like Pennsylvania.

You should make a ridiculous bet so we can all reference this later, just in case. Preferably with photos, please.

(I'm not hoping that would happen, but we'd have a silver lining if it did)

[-] RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I'll stand to it. See you in November.

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

This is what we've come to exp3ct from third party candidates. Some might have good intentions but if they any sort of momentum expect there is some sort of parasite infesting their head.
