RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina's election board voted Tuesday to certify a political party that wants to put Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the state's presidential ballot this fall.
Except NC uses plurality voting. If you put two or more progressive candidates on the ballot that actually makes it harder for a progressive to win which is pretty backwards. They do this kind of stuff in primaries all the time: digging up another candidate that is very similar to an existing one, sometimes with the same name, to siphon off votes. The only silver lining here is that “Mr Vaccines Cause Autism” is more likely to take votes away from “Mr China Virus”.
No matter your beliefs (I think we’re all in agreement that RFK Jr. is not the guy), this is a good thing

In what world would that worm brain qualify as progressive?? RFK is pulling conservative votes.
Didn’t say he was. I picked one ideology to say adding more of them into a race hurts their chances. I don’t know what the fuck RFK is.
You don’t know who RFK is yet you commented on an article about him? What the fuck?
I hope so. But my brother in law is very gung-ho about RFK, and he would never vote R, so I’m worried personally.
