JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, told NBC News in an interview that “there’s been a lot of communication back and forth” between the two campaigns.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intends to end his independent presidential campaign and endorse former President Donald Trump, according to two sources familiar with the plans.

RFK’s campaign was never about any kind of message or policy issue or even actually trying to win.

His goal in all of this was to exploit his family name to try to bleed off some of the votes from Biden to help Trump win. Now that Biden has dropped out and Harris has taken his place, Trump is getting worried that RFK might actually get more Trump votes than Harris votes. That’s okay, I was never going to vote for either RFK or Trump.

Well, RFK Jr. was running as a Democrat until the DNC did what they do best; they are still doing this to the Green Party and other non-duopoly parties.

I was never going to vote for either RFK or Trump.

Don’t forget to include Kamala.

The duopoly is proudly for genocide.

Your username is a straight-up lie and you’ve somehow managed to do something so awful that I have you tagged as “Evil”. That’s not part of my normal tags, so congrats on that. Just wanted people to know that they shouldn’t listen or try to argue with you.

Everyone: downvote and move on.

Honey s’mores! Every other comment in this thread is by him… The timeline is spaced so it’s conceivable it’s a human, however that is somehow more troubling. Dude needs to go outside!

For some, genocide is a deal-breaker.

Jill Stein and others will continue to fight for long terms goals of breaking the duopoly.

Are you suggesting Trump would support the genocide any less?

The duopoly supports genocide; Trump is a part of the duopoly.

Jill Stein does not support the genocide; she is openly anti-genocide.

Whatever happened to the millions of dollars Jill Stein collected in 2016 to investigate and challenge the election?

What is Harris’ stance on Palestine, anyway? Has she said much about it?

“Don’t.”

In reality, it is similar to Biden’s stance; she is the current VP but keeps to establishment talking points.

‘No think’, “Donate.” I did not find the platform button:

For these reasons, it’s unlikely that Harris will deviate substantially from Biden on Israel — and if there is any change in her policy, it would be only slight. The question will be whether any changes can win back voters that the president has alienated without losing the voters who embraced his stance.[1]

RFK Jr. will continue to support the genocide of the Palestinian people, like Trump and Kamala.

For some, not voting Harris is accelerationism.

The current genocide is happening under Blue MAGA.

I can see the fearmongering continuing to work for duopoly voters, though.

There is not much the US can do. If they ever stop protecting Israel, it will be the next target of all their neigbors. And that means Shoa 2.0.

Its up to the Israeli people to stop the war.

I do not agree.

The US can stop most of the wars and proxy wars we are funding.

The problem is that our politicians are puppets of the owner-class; none are brave enough to go against them, especially those in the duopoly.

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor”[1]
