It’s actually really debatable which side RFK is drawing more from, it’s gone back and forth.
Same with the Libertarians this year, there’s been an internal shakeup and Chase Oliver is a democrat, but most of the base leans right, but not all of them especially the quieter ones.
The Constitution Party is still firm right and the Greens and PSL are still firm left, albeit even then outside of the PSL there’s *'s on that(The Greens are pro-Russia and the Constitution Party guy was a democrat for one year after a decade as a Republican).
I wonder how possible it would be to sway a genuine Green by pointing out how much Russian oil refinery production has been taken offline by Ukrainian strikes. Every refinery they hit is a blow against global warming.
edit: Oh yeah, and Ukraine just recently shut down a major oil pipeline going into Hungary. That will put pressure to find alternative energy sources.
Russia is a major global producer of fossil fuels in general, though. That’s a very unnatural alliance with the Greens.
Honestly the death of the Republican Party (assuming they don’t manage to take democracy down with them, which still isn’t proven) might be the best thing for real, for real, for America – if the only way they can hold on to any power at all is to switch us to a parliamentary system, that might be the US catapulting into the 1900s in terms of how to do voting right.
RCV I think will destroy them, though. Pretty much all they have left is trying to unify all the crazy people under one tent and voter suppression, at this point. If you knock out one of those pillars then it’s not much left other than “the state legislature can declare whoever it wants the winner, and the secretary of state says who wins the election for state legislature.”
Speaking of voter suppression, if we can deliver a powerful mandate this time, we absolutely need campaign finance reform to reduce the power of money in politics and legislation to protect the right to vote. Biden helped steer the economy back towards stability and made some investments in the future, now electoral reform desperately needs to be the very top priority moving forward. We can’t do shit about shit if the repubs can just walk away with every other election due to their business support and voter suppression.
I hope we don’t get distracted from this, it’s the most critical priority. We also have nothing to lose by playing the hardest hardball possible, since they’re accusing us of great replacement crap in the mainstream now anyway.
Awesome, split that vote and make the GOP amenable to RCV for the executive!
