    A lot of polls have been putting RFK Jr at 10+ percent. There are a ton of low-information voters who see the name and not much else

      Not only putting RFK at 10%, but in states where he isn’t even on the ballot yet and likely will never be.

        He’s on the ballot in WI and NV, which is enough that he has the potential to serve as a spoiler

      I mean that’s pretty dismissive.

      The largest cohort of people in this country want neither Biden nor Trump. Some of that cohort are willing to step out on a limb and support a third party.

          I’d vote for the worm before I voted for Kennedy, but whomever you are trying to convince isn’t listening. If you want to convince people of something, you need to understand them and why they do what they do.

          Clearly at least 10% of voters see having a complete brain as less of a deal breaker than being either Biden or Trump. We should be curious as to why that is.
