The third-party candidates will serve Trump well, so he’ll support them (but look at his behavior and the reception he got at the Libertarian convention). But if he gets back in, part of his and the Project 2025 agenda is to restrict voting to favor Republicans and the third parties may well get tossed in the trash heap.
Haha, very funny, but the reality is President Biden is too busy running the country and campaigning to worry about 3rd partiers or the antics of a convicted felon. National Enquirer-like media outlets obviously want to keep that circus atmosphere going, but all the 81 million+ Biden voters plus GEN-Z newcomers will make sure that circus tent comes down in November.
Now for the real deal: on their podcast Stanti and Rall went on record to state that this case was a nuthing burger and that trumpster fire would get off. While I do think that the result of this matter will only be a fine, I do believe the case was still important, and we have seen people of this nation stand up to the orange idiot and hold him accountable. It’s a good day. Right-wing populists, your candidate is a convicted felon. Ted, there is a Santa Claus.
The only third-party or non-party candidate who might make any difference is Kennedy. And that’s only because his name’s Kennedy, not because of anything he’s done or said.
I’d like to live in a world where the electorate is informed and alert and concerned about the most important issues, but that is not this world.
I agree with Rall about half the time. I share a lot of his critique of the US political situation and of US foreign policy. A lot, but not all. I am always interested to see what he has to say, even when I don’t agree. I try to test my own thoughts against his, to see if they stand up. For instance, under ordinary circumstances I would not imagine voting for Biden. I would vote third party. Up here in Canada I almost always vote for the NDP. (I’m a dual citizen so I can vote in US federal elections.) In these circumstances I think it’s really important to defeat Trump. I wish Rall would present more of a positive program, so we could see what he’s in favor of. It’s too easy just to be negative all of the time.
And while you’re at it, Biden staff, make sure that RFK Jr. doesn’t get Secret Service protection. What do you think he is, a Presidential candidate or something?
Ultimately, ANY vote other than a vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. The choice IS binary – and there should be no doubt that a Trump “win” means the unhappy end of the American “Experiment”. As for “hypocrisy” look no further than “Little Marco”, groveling furiously, or Nikki Haley, saying she’ll vote for the “unhinged “ candidate.
Listen to me very closely here: The next president of the United States will be one of the following two men: Joe Biden, or Donald Trump. It will not be anyone else. This is ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. You may see others on the ballot, but choosing one of these two men is the only realistic choice. If one does not win, the other certainly will.
So, if you do not want Donald Trump back in the White House for the next four years, your only choice is to vote for Joe Biden despite his shortcomings or the things about him or about your life that fall short of your wishes.
And if you vote for a third-party candidate or fail to vote because you want to “send a message,” the only message that will be received is, “I am a very stupid person.”

The idea is good, Mr. Rall, but I doubt President Biden is responsible for this. The Dem and Repub parties, though, are complicit.

Joe Biden said none of those things, ever. Some of the extreme partizan Democrat elite have probably said those things, but not Joe.

Given the state of the Electoral College and our two party system, such statements aren’t hypocritical.

Sad that the usual suspects who love what Mr. Rall says, USUALLY, loss their minds when he writes about their sacred cow.
