Michigan, Wisconsin, and Colorado denied Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s requests to be removed from the ballot. His status in North Carolina is still unclear.

    Honestly, he should either have to drop out completely or be forced to remain on the ballot everywhere he’s already been authorized to be on the ballot. What he’s trying to do is deeply unserious. I mean uts a blatant attempt to interfere in the election for a different party while pretending to be a candidate. Not that i think what he’s doing would matter for the election, but if he wants to do that, just drop out altogether and go falconing

      This is the serious part of the US that we need to protect by voting for Kamala

    It would so funny if the GOP is so incompetent that they pull a Hillary and Trump loses the nomination and it becomes RFK vs Kamala in November

    Meanwhile Georgia is kicking every 3rd party candidate off the ballot. Federalism is working great.

    it’s incredible how normalized it is in this country for the logistics of our “elections” are so shitty.

    the election is multiple months away, and “we can’t make changes to ballots, are you insane!! who could even do democracy at that speed!?”

    every individual asshole in America can send $100 from a wide selection of financial accounts to any or all candidates at 2am while sitting on a toilet in another state and ordering PPV porno, but changing a checkbox on a decision 60+ days from now is unprecedented.

    the justification that states determine how they do their own elections for federal elections is so antiquated and wack. not to mention, the basis for gerrymandering. even the article of the constitution prescribing it is misspelled in that “it’s the 18th century and the scribe has syphilis” way that we should be far too embarrassed to accept.

      It’s fucking ridiculous. The UK is able to set up an election in what, a couple weeks after it’s announced? The election date doesn’t even change here, you should be able to change everything else about it until like 3 days before.
