RFK accepts Libertarian nomination...but...

[Missourian]

...he was eliminated in the first round with only 2% of the vote.

Comment: Not exactly what he suspected when he accepted the nomination I suspect. Guess the Libertarians are too into him.

Story...

"Finally, party chair Angela McArdle, standing at the podium, called Kennedy to ask him.

She stepped away from the microphone to speak with him but could be heard saying to him: 'I'm at the podium and need to ask you if you accept the nomination.'

She then came back the microphone to inform the delegates: 'He's going to get back to us.'

Kennedy ultimately accepted the nomination."

<Snip>

"His candidacy was short-lived, however. He was eliminated from contention several hours later, after the first round of voting, having receiving support from 19 delegates, just 2.07% of the vote."

RFK Jr. loses bid for Libertarian presidential nomination

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became a candidate for the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination, a shocking move that could give him enough votes to defeat Donald Trump or Joe Biden in November.

LOL so who did the fence-sitters pick?

 

[Oddball]

Trump got 3%.

That any of the LP delegation would go for either of them is indicative of what a total mess the party has become.

Sarwark’s GOP lite lot still has a case of red ass over being voted out and is not happy that any of the current candidates did not come to get the ring kissed.

I have no idea.

They're like the Democratic Socialist Convention.

A lot of bickering.

GOPers had their chance at being goats and chose to be fucktards for life instead.

At this point, Libertarians help to keep an anti-American Regime in power because the GOP is flawed.

The only guy worth a fuck in that lot of mutts is Bumper Hornberger @ 5:00:00.

After watching for about an hour, I see why the Libertarians never get anywhere.

It's like herding cats.

It really is.....Not necessarily a bad thing if they had a coherent message around which to organize themselves...Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case since Harry Browne passed.

Most Ds and Rs are culture warriors who yearn for a government that runs your life. They just have a different list of demands.

I think their about to nominate None of the Above.

I've believed that binding NOTA should be an option on every ballot, since the late 1990s.

That's effectively what a write-in vote is. People just don't have the backbone, nor the integrity, to actually do it. Instead they vote for weevils.

 

[Oddball]

No, it's not.

Binding NOTA means that you reject all the candidates and try again, which would very likely attract more participants than doing a write-in.

The point is that either choice requires voters to have some integrity and reject lesser-of-two-evils fear mongering.

Chase Oliver beat None of the above.

That wasn't quite as bad as the Democratic Socialist Convention...but it was close.
