Absolutely no way Trump is getting the electoral votes for California. Would a vote for RFK be a better move?

A symbolic move only more than likely.
I can't imagine Biden not carrying CA. |

If republicans were smart they’d pump a ton of money into RFKs California campaign.
RFK winning a blue state, especially a big blue one, is about Trumps only hope. |

If he pulls enough electoral votes to keep anyone from getting to 270 it goes to congress to decide who the president will be (biden).

View Quote Sort of… The president is picked by the house with each state getting one vote. 26 votes are required to win, which Trump is more likely to pull off than Biden. The VP is picked by the senate, with 51 votes needed. Which means Kamala would likely win in that venue. A Trump/Kamala administration would be lit. |

Foolish to think that if the decision goes to the house that the majority of states will vote for biden

I think RFKJR is done.
MSM is reporting a worm has eaten part of his brain. The good news is the worm is now dead. I'm not making it up. |

It's inconceivable to me that anything in the real world could prevent JB from getting California's electoral votes. There is no possible way that enough votes could be diverted to RFK Jr or any other idiot third-party candidate.

0.1% chance liberals vote for RFK. I don't understand, when one looks at his stances, how anyone would think that a democrat would pull the lever for him. He has WAY too many dealbreakers for liberals.
As far as CA, do whatever you would feel best about. Biden will carry it no matter what, so if you want to do a protest vote do it. That's my plan, though not for RFK. |

Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer

Wasn't California like 2/3 Bidet, 1/3 Trump in 2020?
Your energy would be much better spent trying to close that gap than to throw a vote away on RFK. |

Ah, didn't know that it was one vote per state, was thinking it was standard house vote with N_T GOPers throwing it to biden. |

If the goal is to elect Trump:
Those in battleground and Red states should vote Trump. Those in blue states should vote RFK Jr. |

I had previously believed all 435 members of the House got a vote. |

Would a vote for RFK be a better move? What exactly do you think that would accomplish? I suppose it accomplishes the same as a vote for Trump - one vote not going to Biden in a state where Biden is sure to win anyway. But it may send a message. The Democrats will automatically disregard any Trump vote as coming from a mere wretched 'MAGAt' or 'Trumper'. But they will see a vote for RFK as being a Democrat who they have somehow 'lost', and that will mean more to them than the millions of evil racist homophobic xenophobic irredeemable deplorables who are evil and deplorable enough to vote for Trump. |

It is said that Democracy is a form of government where the people get what they vote for. And sometimes they get it good and hard.
A lot of people approach risk as if it's the enemy when it's really fortune's accomplice. |

If you read his positions, he's much more in line with what what a conservative wants than a liberal. I made a list once and nobody wants to confront that truth. Here's a few bullets that are liberal deal breakers: Kennedy said if he were president, he would "allow parents to make of their minds about whether they want to use vaccines for their children." "UN peacekeepers will guarantee peace to the Russian-speaking eastern regions," Kennedy said on his campaign website. "We will put an end to this war." After speaking with officers patrolling the border, however, he said physical barriers are necessary in some areas with high-density populations and advocated doing more to keep migrants and U.S. citizens safe from cartels. Kennedy called the events of the Jan.6, 2021 a "protest that turned into a riot" Kennedy is opposed to transgender athletes competing in sports outside of the sex they were assigned at birth. |

Even if it makes the DNC spend money to fight off the illusion of rising interest in RFK jr it’s a good thing.
Kind of like buying a lottery ticket, I know I won’t win but I enjoy living a fantasy for a bit. Can RFK jr beat Biden in a primary run? I doubt it but what if he mounts a credible threat? Yes that would be great. |
