I know 3 people who voted for Trump who were considering staying at home or voting for RFK.  Now that one of those options was removed, it will be interesting to hear where they are at.

They're not taking the news well on the RFK sub reddit

Out of morbid curiousity I took a quick glance and the first several pages are people saying they're not voting at all anymore. Good enough for me.

Just as long as they don’t vote for Trump.  A protest no-vote is a great outcome. 

Some of the totally-not-shill accounts are claiming they will support Trump. Others are saying no vote, or they'll vote for someone else, or write-in RFK. The usual batshittery.

Did they just make these numbers up? 

Probably just a WAG. I think they guesstimated based on Kennedy's rising approval rating among republicans, while he's declined among democrats. Just a guess.

Yeah, unless they cite their source, it's probably bullshit.

I truly don’t know what my reaction would be if someone I knew told me they were voting for RFK.

My nephew told me and Mrs.LL he was voting for RFK Jr. when we saw him over Thanksgiving.  Probably ought to circle back with him on that given that he's in a swing-ish state (Virginia).

This is absurd. Another fascist Trump judge. Should be useful at the debate though. Next up: Missiles.

I mean, good? The crazier and weirder they get, the likelihood we actually get an amendment to limit guns.

ActBlue says Dems raised more than $100 million during the convention—$7.2 million during the single hour of Harris’s acceptance speech and just after (11 p.m. to midnight ET). (via Sam Stein, MSNBC). 

(Just counts small donors -- $250 and under -- through the ActBlue platform.)

Your reaction would be like mine finding out, and not being surprised, that my sister is voting for him: she’s lost her damned mind.

Most people not his site cannot possibly understand the hilarity/irony of this post. if any of you knew 4th&Five personally, you would laugh so hard at this. I genuinely have never anyone who just naturally attracts as many bizarre ass people and divergent/outlier behavior from people more than this fucking guy. If you hang out with him for 30 minutes in public, I guarantee you will see shit from other people that you only thought happened in staged social media videos. The guy is a walking, talking RFK-voter-magnet.

I was lifelong friends with attorney Scott Ogle before he passed away a few months ago. He was the same way. I could write books about the crazy stuff that happened to him or around him.  It was lifelong with him. I first noticed it in fourth grade. There's a monkey lose in an office building in Corpus? I knew immediately somehow Scott was involved.  There's a camel trespassing on Gary Clark Jr.'s property? I knew my boy was involved.  Somebody started an escort service from his condo in West Campus and somehow managed to put together a roster of the most stunning co-eds you've ever seen, all of whom he slept with at some point? Somebody convinced the folks at Spec's Buy and Fly to sell weed, which he could order to be delivered via his phone?

I see a tweet from Stein on the first part. Are you sure about the 250 and under? One reason I ask is that I would expect a bunch of “double-max” donors yesterday.
There is a max donation for the primary and for the general. As soon as Harris accepted the nomination, her general started and a bunch of “double max” donors could finish out their pledge. But those donations are $3300 each phase now.

I am actually convinced anyone who is voting for Trump or supports the ticket is just an unserious person in every regard. 

Or a raging, insecure, non-thinking, misogynistic, racist, asshole.

A Pedigreed Rail Magnate Is Pouring Millions Into Electing Donald Trump

Timothy Mellon, a reclusive heir to a storied fortune, is spending tens of millions to elect Donald J. Trump. Precisely what he wants in return is one of many curiosities surrounding him.
