politics

RFK Jr's campaign showed that it's impossible to have a 3rd party candidate in the US, it's just too hard. The guy had the name, the signatures and the political opportunity... yet he had to stop.

IMHO the next best realistic chance to fix politics is to change the voting method used in primaries.

As a society, we're so used to choosing 1 candidate among many that we forgot (i) that other methods exist and (ii) how we vote massively impacts the political life. 

This TED talk from Andrew Yang is a great introduction to this rabbit hole 👇

I agree that the only way to make 3rd parties viable is to change the way voting works, but RFK Jr was also not a good candidate. Aside from his name, he's most famous for being an outspoken antivaxxer. He embraces political ideas that most voters simply don't like, he has all sorts of skeletons in his closet, and to top it off his voice sounds like a cartoon villain. He never would have been a serious contender, even with a perfectly fair voting system.

Agree but even a better candidate would have been sued to oblivion to challenge his/her ballot access and excluded from debating 🤷‍♂️
