  1. Smacked down by Wisconsin and New York today. The fact that he wanted to be On New York’s and Off of Wisconsin’s shows just how scammy his whole “Candidacy” always was.

  2. justhavingfunMT on

    What a sham and big joke the schmucks are. One state he wants on, another state he wants off.

  3. Simple rule should be, miss the deadline then fuck off

    Other rule should be, if you request to be removed from the ballot in one state then it’s applied to all states.

  4. Knew this would happen if it made it up to the SC of WI.  That liberal majority bringing sanity back to WI.

  5. It’s absurd that this should happen given that A) he has formally withdrawn from the race and endorsed another candidate, B) he petitioned some states to remove himself, other states to keep himself on, all in a poll-selective way to boost the candidate he endorsed, which smacks of election interference. He should be removed nationally and barred from ever running for federal office again.

  6. KyloRenCadetStimpy on

    Someone should run some ads for him to win over some of the Trumpers who think Trump has gone soft.

  7. He likes to claim to be an environmentalist. But now he is working overtime to get a man elected who will gut environmental protections.

  8. I was walking the dog yesterday afternoon and took a different route. Walked by a house with a Kennedy flag. I live in Washington so there’s zero chance that person’s vote is going to make a difference but it’s still a mindfuck seeing people unironically supporting him.

    I’ll never understand what people see in him or how anyone can stand to listen to his voice. He sounds like he’s being strangled and it makes me want to pull out what’s left of my hair. But that’s a superficial reason so let’s look at his policies.

    Here are the policy positions from his website (https://www.mahanow.org/faq):

    First off when you navigate to the website there’s a banner at the top that reads, “A VOTE FOR TRUMP IS A VOTE FOR KENNEDY”. So immediately fuck you. But let’s keep reading –

    Here is the **”What are Kennedy’s policy priorities?” Section:**

    1. To free government from the corrupt influence of mega-corporations and Wall Street. (How? by voting for a conman?)

    2. To end the “forever wars” and restore the military to its proper role of defending the homeland. (i.e., abandon allies)

    3. To redirect the trillions we spend on global military dominance to the rebuilding of America’s infrastructure, economy, and middle class. (Cutting defense spending will have devastating downstream effects it will not be positive)

    4. To repair the economic devastation that has spread across Black, rural, small-town, Rust Belt, minority, and Farm Belt communities. (How? Sounds great and it is in a “priorities” section, but he could have added a blurb saying “…by doing X)

    5. To secure the border. (How? Mass Deportation? That’s not a solution)

    6. To restore and protect our Constitutional freedoms. (What does this mean? So vague that it’s useless)

    7. To end government censorship, surveillance, and secrecy, and bring transparency to the government. (How? By supporting Elon Musk? THAT kind of “fReE sPeEcH”?)

    8. To address the chronic disease epidemic in America. (What does this mean? It’s just a priority but without even the barest proposal)

    9. To clean up the toxic pollution in our soil, air, and water, and protect our wilderness areas. (OK, I agree with this)

    10. To cut inflation and housing costs, shrink the deficit, and reduce the debt burden on American families (How?)

    Here’s the “How exactly is Mr. Kennedy going to cut inflation” section

    1. Keep the dollar strong by restoring industry and stopping the weaponization of the US dollar that is eroding its reserve currency status. (This is nonsense)

    2. Cut housing costs with a Federally-backed 3% mortgage program.  (That’s not a panacea)

    3. Cut healthcare costs by getting pharmaceutical industry corruption out of our regulatory agencies and health policy (the US spends DOUBLE other advanced countries on healthcare, with worse outcomes.) (OK, I agree with this)

    4. Reduce government deficits that inflate the money supply, by cutting defense spending and corporate giveaways, and making big corporations pay their fair share of taxes. (cut programs that help people in the name of “cutting deficits”)

    Here’s the “What is Mr. Kennedy’s Position on Ukraine” Section”

    Mr. Kennedy will stop using Ukraine as a geopolitical pawn in a game of world domination, which has cost Ukraine hundreds of thousands of casualties and the US hundreds of billions of dollars, all to no avail. Kennedy will negotiate the best possible diplomatic settlement, which will likely include withdrawing US missile batteries from Russia’s borders, no more NATO expansion, Russian withdrawal from occupied territory, UN peacekeepers in Eastern Ukraine, and an end of sanctions in order to improve the global economy. (Abandon Ukraine and do exactly what Putin wants)

  9. I would agree he should be left off the ballot if he actually genuinely was just not running for president everywhere.

    But given that he’s trying to get on the ballot in places where he’ll hurt Harris and off the ballot in places where he’ll hurt Trump, fuck this guy.

  10. Anyone with half a brain can see the election interference he’s trying to cause here.

    Fuck this brain-rotted ass.

  11. I already early voted and Wisconsin hasn’t even decided who’s going to be on the fucking ballot? They still have to print them!
