      It makes sense to me. Biden and Trump have Secret Service detail already. RFK does not. Biden wants to make sure that it at least looks like all 3 candidates are being protected from more violence.

          For probably 2 or 3 reasons:

          • To bring attention to RFK Jr to help remove votes from Trump

          • RFK Jr is much more known to right wingers, who are also more violent. They don’t even really know of Cornell West or Jill Stein enough to care. RFK Jr is running opposite of Trump on the Right wingers side, whereas the other two will only strip votes from leftwing/Biden side

          • Kennedy Curse, they shouldn’t have lobotomized Rosemary Kennedy. So anything could happen to ol brain worms

                Nice try!

                You are trying to get us to vote for the duopoly, but I am most likely voting for a third party.

                Green Party for the long-term goal of breaking the two-party system.

                Do not forget my mantra:

                We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!

          While I don’t endorse the guy, I think you forgot (L) Chase Oliver. I bring this up only because the Libertarian candidates usually get more votes than the leftist candidates and I’m pretty sure they’re listed on more state’s ballots.

          -Personally speaking, I’ll be one of the “three people” voting for one of the other two candidates mentioned

      But imagine the consequences of not doing it, and him getting assassinated! Not worth the risk. Also, i assume this is the future standard Trump is looking into. Competition being legal targets for the sitting president
