RFK's campaign was never about any kind of message or policy issue or even actually trying to win.

His goal in all of this was to exploit his family name to try to bleed off some of the votes from Biden to help Trump win. Now that Biden has dropped out and Harris has taken his place, Trump is getting worried that RFK might actually get more Trump votes than Harris votes. That's okay, I was never going to vote for either RFK or Trump.
- Well, RFK Jr. was running as a Democrat until the DNC did what they do best; they are still doing this to the Green Party and other non-duopoly parties.
  
  I was never going to vote for either RFK or Trump.
  
  Don't forget to include Kamala.
  
  The duopoly is proudly for genocide.
  
  Your username is a straight-up lie and you've somehow managed to do something so awful that I have you tagged as "Evil". That's not part of my normal tags, so congrats on that. Just wanted people to know that they shouldn't listen or try to argue with you.
  
  Everyone: downvote and move on.
Now if only all the third party progressive candidates were as smart as a dude with brain worms.
- For some, genocide is a deal-breaker.
  
  Jill Stein and others will continue to fight for long terms goals of breaking the duopoly.
  
  Are you suggesting Trump would support the genocide any less?
  
  Whatever happened to the millions of dollars Jill Stein collected in 2016 to investigate and challenge the election?
  
  What is Harris' stance on Palestine, anyway? Has she said much about it?
Weirdo to join Weird party. News at 11.
Now it's just Oliver, Stein, and West.

(and what will RFK Jr do when Harris wins?)
- RFK Jr. will continue to support the genocide of the Palestinian people, like Trump and Kamala.
  
  For some, genocide is a deal-breaker.
  
  For some, not voting Harris is accelerationism.
  
  There is not much the US can do. If they ever stop protecting Israel, it will be the next target of all their neigbors. And that means Shoa 2.0.
  
  Its up to the Israeli people to stop the war.
  
  agreed.
