    Trump has attempted to muddy the waters by characterizing RFK Jr. as a “Democrat plant” and “a radical left liberal.” No one should be fooled by this desperate attempt to define RFK Jr. as a liberal, or even a Democrat. His policy stances read more like a resume to be Trump’s running mate. He and third-party candidate, Jill Stein, are parroting views right out of the MAGA/Vladimir Putin playbook and yet, perhaps counterintuitively, they risk dividing the anti-Trump coalition and putting a convicted felon back in power.

    Neither third-party candidate has any chance of winning the presidency. But, for a moment, let’s put aside their lack of a path to 270 electoral votes and talk about their agendas.


    Jason Call, Green Party Campaign Manager for JillStein2024, pushes back on this article:

    @CallForCongress

    Corporate media just lies and lies and lies…

    @DrJillStein currently is on enough ballots to potentially win 279 electoral college votes

    Yet Salon says neither she nor Kennedy have a pathway to 270

    Lies and lies and lies
