For months, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said he plans to continue his long-shot challenge against President Biden in the Democratic primary rather than dropping out to launch a third-party bid.

But lately Mr. Kennedy’s message has seemed to shift, including publicly telling a voter who asked about his plans that he was keeping his “options open.”

If Mr. Kennedy does decide to leave the party of his famous father and uncles to run in the general election, one potential landing spot may be the Libertarian Party, which at the moment lacks a widely known candidate but has excelled at securing ballot access.

In July, Mr. Kennedy met privately with Angela McArdle, the chair of the Libertarian Party, at a conference they were both attending in Memphis — a meeting that has not previously been reported.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

RFK, Jr. wants to rebuild the middle class. How is he going to do that when those jobs have been sent to Mexico and China? ;)

There's no point. All you can do as a 3rd party candidate is play kingmaker to the guy who is the least like yourself and who wants to do that?

The pluralist election system is inherently flawed. With Approval voting, it could work but the country is stuck on the super archaic pluralist voting which is designed for when ballots were hand written names.

Remember that H. Ross Perot said about if NAFTA was passed, "You would hear that giant sucking sound of jobs going south." ;)

Ross Perot on NAFTA: "Mexico gets our factories and our jobs, and the only thing we get from Mexico is marijuana and Mexicans."
