This is why we can't break from the two-party system.

The system is so broken. 😭😭😭😭😭

Look man, I hate the 2 party system but dude has brain worms. And acts like it.

He is an independent candidate. There is, by definition no independent party.

The lumping together of all independants is disingenuous.

Not voting for RFKjr but technically he was nominated by the American independent party

Right, which is not a party that is representative of all independants. In fact, by labeling it a party, they are no longer independent, they are, you know, a party.

By that logic, the Green party is an "independent" party.

Think of it from this perspective. Bernie Sanders is an independent. Here is how Wikipedia defines it: it:

"An independent, non-partisan politician or non-affiliated politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party or bureaucratic association."

I'm not supporting brain worms man.

I'm highlighting that the independents we seem to get have brain worms.
