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

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

The campaign will reject this naturally

Or some crazy shit i dunno

[-] TrippaSnippa@lemm.ee 15 points 2 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 2 months ago

That so much better than mine haha

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 89 points 2 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 2 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 2 months ago

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

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 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 2 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

[-] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 54 points 2 months ago

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 2 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 2 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?

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 37 points 2 months ago

Sorry, you raspy-voiced, whithered testicle.

You get to be a spoiler to Trump. 🤣

[-] Furball@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 months ago

By the way, the voice he has is from a medical condition and isnt one of the many things we should make fun of the carcass collector for

[-] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

I'm sorry that karma gave this cunt a gravely voice. Deeply sorry. Hopefully whatever it was is fatal next time.

[-] Furball@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 months ago

I’m not saying this because I feel sorry for him but other people also have this condition and making fun of one bad person who has it hurts good people who have it.

[-] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

It's even worse for regular people with the condition, because the next most famous guy with it is Scott Adams, the Dilbert guy.

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Who also just happens to be a MAGA shithead. Filbert was funny in the beginning, tapered off a bit as he ran thinner on material (as most all comic strips do) but I don’t bother to read it after finding out more about Adams.

[-] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I was just sad to find out (after falling away from the funnies pages for a decade or so) that he had sided with the pointiest haired boss he could find.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

This is goddamn hilarious

[-] RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 11 points 2 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 2 months ago

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

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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 2 months ago

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

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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.
