Celebrity conspiracy theorists and pseudoscience promoters with ties to Russian state-run media outlets. In case there weren’t already enough of those candidates.

    Any vote that does not prevent Trump from being president is a vote for a Trump/Putin collaborator.

      Don’t you think this would pull MAGA morons, not people voting D? He’s just splitting the idiots up and I’m ok with that.

    Why not Joe Rogan? Seems like a match made in heaven. They’ll pull Trump voters and set the stage for an actual third party.

    RFK JR/Deez Nuts 2024.

    But, on a more serious note, this is going to pull MAGAts more than Biden voters.

      Do you think so? I don’t really know much if we dive in that deep, but I have seem some polls side by side with Biden/Trump as the options and Biden/Trump/RFK and they seem to me like Biden loses more support than Trump when RFK is included.

      Edit for source, although I don’t know enough about stats to support any of my opinions, but I assume I see two different polls that I assume count the same respondents and both look to me like RFK pulled more from Biden than Trump

    I guess I had Mandela Effect about Jesse Ventura, I was sure he passed away in the mid 2010s

      You might be remembering Sonny Landham, who was a costar of Ventura in Predator, hosted many shit takes, and also tried to break into politics.

        It’s still sort of amazing that Ventura got as far as he did. I remember Al Franken in one of his books talking about how everyone in Minnesota went through a bout of temporary insanity.
