Don't worry, the GOP will bankroll a Green Party candidate you'll vote for.

I think it’s not great that a cynical comment is definitely a voice of reason in these times. Eggscellent point.

I mean, isn't RFK Jr. getting a ton of money from Republicans, as well as support from folks like Steve Bannon and Roger Stone, and favorable right wing news coverage? Guy was also once celebrated as a champion of the environment?

Can't say I'm terribly impressed, even before his ethnically targeted Covid conspiracy. Though I do laugh at the fact that he's out fundraised all but Desantis and Trump on the Republican side, with only 20% of his donors identifying as Democratic donors. It's such a hilariously bad attempt at a spoiler candidate, that the amount of faith I would lose in humanity if it worked would be on par with Trump winning.
