idk how anyone can take seriously a presidential campaign from a 'party' that doesn't have a single elected seat at any level of government.
- $$$$$$$$
- I mean, Ross Perot?
  
  He ran as an independent. Still didn't get a single electoral vote.
  
  Would still have to form a coalition with someone or be a lame duck or his entire term. Ultimately boiling down to being just another member of that faction. There's very little say or control.
So is No Labels a dark money funded movement to funnel votes away from Biden or Trump?
- More like a vanity project of Enlightened Centrist (m/b)illionaires. They're legitimately not launching a ticket because they can't win, just like they said. So they're not funneling votes from anywhere.
  Sane people could have told you, it was never going to work, especially not at the presidential level.
  
  People online love to jump to conspiracies over logical conclusions. I think this comment is probably the most likely situation. There's already a massive network of dark money on the right, they wouldn't need to fund another group
  
  Not being able to find a serious candidate probably didn't help. Yes, please tell me more about the elites Mr Kennedy who has never worked before
- It was created to help Trump, but they realized that they would take more GOP votes than Dems, so they stopped.
- It's meant to funnel votes away from Biden. It's funded by a bunch of Trump supporters.
I think the final straw was when I didn't return any of their persistent phone calls begging me to run
- You could have been our first quad nippled president too, such a shame.
  
  … what?
- Oh, so thats what it was. I thought it was a prank call.
