A disappointment to his family.

Too bad. Would have loved to have him steal votes from Trump.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Still might. I'm curious how many apathetic voters just won't vote if he's out rather than crawl back to team Trump. I assume most Kennedy supporters probably knew this was going to happen eventually.

And 4 of them are in RFK Jr's head.

Didn't know worms could vote!

[-] Breezy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Only republican worms get that honor

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

One of them is Joe Rogan who also seems to suffer from brain worms.

[-] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

He's still polling just under 5%, yeah he's not gonna win but that's still better then any other third party candidate in the last couple cycles and represents millions of (braindead) Americans. Even if you don't support him you should care he's endorsing trump as the race is still very tight and if a majority of his supporters follow him into the trump camp that could be it for Harris.

[-] kikutwo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah it's unfortunate. His family will probably be campaigning against him but you can't fix stupid.

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Why the fuck did he run? Did he think he would win? I mean if you're going to be a spoiler candidate be a spoiler. Wtf?

[-] Wrench@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago

He realized he was spoiling the wrong side

RFK write-in campaign, it's your time to shine!

Don't let the Deep State™ force RFK off the ballot! Start fightin' with your write-in!

Money laundering, and leverage against other candidates.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

I'm getting Stargate flashbacks and hoping we get to talk to his goa'uld

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

Endorsing Trump is embarrassing. I don't get any of his appeal at all even for an outsider.

Did he ever get that meeting he wanted with Kamala? Lol sounds like he’s mad he got ignored, trump probably offered him a job if he wins too.

[-] Corigan@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago

Hope so! He's so two faced.

The worm probably wants a break from piloting for a bit.

But what will the idiots who think contrarianism is a sign is wisdom do now? He was all they had.
