Interesting....
Go for it! Ralph Nader his senile, corrupt a@@.
The problem is: RFK is hardly a libertarian.
Gavin Newsom vetoed the California legislation about child custody and parents having to affirm a child’s gender identity.
Maybe Newsom is running for POTUS.

He is mostly very far from a Libertarian.
Unfortunately, Libertarian candidates have had a singular knack for taking just the right number of votes to deny a GOP victory in many races and giving the Demonrats a plurality.
He needs to do something. He went from regularly in the news to near blackout.
In a true 3-party race, with the 3rd party in the middle between the Democrats and Republicans, the party whose candidate more strongly holds their base wins.
In other words, if 3-party and Trump running, Trump wins. Any other Republican and you get a repeat of 1992.
I would have thought Green Party.
Are they still a thing anymore?
A key to dealing with corruption.
He has seen plenty of evidence over the years that the Democrats are not going to permit him to run on their ticket.
For RFK, Jr, it's either "independent" or nothing.
And frankly, he's just the kind of person to run as an independent. He's a tough, independent-minded cookie or he would not be where he is at present.
Uh, no. He’d take more votes from Trump than from Biden. (Not that I expect Biden to make it to the general election, but thw same Dem/Pubbie principle applies.
Always thought the majority of the Libertarian vote came from Republican leaning voters. Would rather he just run as an independent as Perot did.
Easter is where he will have to cut bait and ensure all 50 state ballots -- which LP has done, but only since 2016 -- because the Demoncrats will sue to keep them off the ballot in almost every blue state. I figure RFK jr pulls 3 Biden : 1.5 Trump. It's an endgame scenario for Biden, can't win with RFK jr on the LP ticket.
The BEST thing about this thread, is people are discussing from which party RFKjr would siphon the most votes.
TOTALLY MISSING from this thread, is the usual Eeyore chorus of “oh, it doesn’t matter, it’s all fixed and we are powerless to do anything about it.”
Interesting...RFK as a libertarian! That’s crazy ...

RFK Jr says Donald Trump has ‘discredited the American experiment’

RFK, Jr., switching to Lib would get ballot access, and get enough votes and new registered Libs to keep the Libs on the ballot in all 50 states. The Libs have always been a diverse group. Some Libs want to abolish stop signs, while others favor free trade. RFK, Jr., would bring in new party members who might agree on basic things like no vax mandates, and accountability for Big Pharma for bad vax side effects for the Covid vax scam. I don’t see a down side for the Libs if they nominate RFK, Jr. They could even win a governorship, House or Senate seat in 2024 in the right place with 34% of the vote.
