Like if you support third parties in general aiming for the center(which RFK is given that both sides have accused him of being a spoiler) is the best bet, and getting the other 3rd parties in line helps. Interested to see if he can break the 5 percent funding margin to get on debates and get national funding. 2000 was the last election that was at play for anyone.
I’d much rather we had some more extreme third parties and a voting system that allowed them to exist.
The last fucking thing I want is someone trying to be “centrist” in the modern US political spectrum. I’m pretty sure if you looked at historical candidates you’d find Ronald Reagan would be defined as a centrist in the modern world.
We need to shift this broken ass Overton window back to the left.
Not if we managed to drop FPTP - but until then I agree that third parties are unfortunately spoilers. It gave us Woodrow Wilson a man generally considered our worst president before fucking Trump showed up.

Problem is that weakens the dems, see Ralph Nader
