      RFK is a far-right-wing nut job, I doubt the DNC is going to complain if he runs as libertarian and takes the nutjob vote from the republicans.

      They are running primaries.

      Edit: I should be clear they are cap primaries, but no ones trying to participate real hard. We want to both complain about the primaries and not participate in them

    I’m cautiously optimistic that he’ll pull more moderate Republican votes than Democratic ones. Say what you will about his conspiracies and vaccine denial, but he’s not even trying to market himself to the fascist “dictator on day one” crowd.

    I think he’s doing this since ballot access is very difficult to get as an independent in some states. On the other hand he’s not actually gonna be able to do this since the libertarian party has no interest in him.
