2024 Third Party and Independent Candidate General discussion

[Ferguson97]

Sincerely hope that West gets on as few ballots as possible.

This has more Perot potential than the Democrats on here are able to believe. If you told me he got 10% of the vote I wouldn’t be surprised.

If Kennedy wins 10% of the vote, then Joe Biden is winning in a landslide.

RFK Jr. has the chance to get Perot like numbers.

This is wishful thinking on your part.

[Ferguson97]

Recall that the Libertarians were polling as high as 15% once the nominations were clinched in 2016, too - while RFK Jr is far more well known than Johnson was at this point, he's also at least as crazy, if not more so. I'd take the over on him getting 5% in the general, for sure, but it's a tough road ahead to be anything other than a spoiler.

I will absolutely take the under on that.

Congrats to John Dule on being the first Atlas user nominated for president!
