RFK Jr Rejected by Libertarians After They Loudly Booed, Heckled Trump
(www.commondreams.org)
Kennedy was eliminated in the first round of voting after receiving support from 19 delegates, or just 2.07% of delegates.
Earlier, Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle had ruled that former president Donald J. Trump was not even qualified to be considered for nomination because he did not submit the proper nominating papers. Trump, however, received six write-in votes -- defeating Stormy Daniels, Denali the Cat, and Sean Ono Lennon.
I mean, if it was Stormy v Biden, we might have us a horse race . . . But it ain’t.
Good. He should be rejected by everyone. First libertarians boo Trump, then they reject Brainworm.
They were right twice in the same 24 hour period. The adage about broken clocks is true.
Nitpick: Stopped, not broken. A stopped clock is right twice a day. A broken clock may never be right at all.
It's really the end times when Libertarians seem like the more well-adjusted, rational crowd compared to Republicans.
I dunno, I think they booed because trump isn't insane enough, and they probably realize rfk Jr was an op to steal dem votes from biden.

... If they set up a hologram of John McAfee, with Ai voice mod, like a VTuber sort of, I am 100% certain it would win.
Eh, he lost the nomination every time he ran iirc

It's too bad the worm didn't have what it took to finish the job.
Yo know you fucked up when the people normally telling everyone to shhhhh are making noise by booing you.
I wish this was cause for hope, but polls are still showing Trump neck and neck usually with a 2% lead over Biden. It's really going to come down to at least two, probably three, swing states. Given that some of them allow the EC vote to be split, there is even a possibility of a Tie.
The last couple of elections have shown the polls to be unreliable with a distinct bias favoring Republicans in appearance. Last I heard the popular theory was boomers are more likely to answer random calls and have time for a bunch of questions.
No. The polls do swing about 4% but it’s in a random direction in every election no matter what.
Almost no polls use landline random digit dialing exclusively anymore. Some call cell phones, some do online surveys or in person surveys, and some do focus groups.

Whatever happens will happen. We don't have control over the outcome only our efforts. Do what you can now to fight for what you believe. Stressing over polls doesn't help.
