Make no mistake.
Third Parties are out here to help Donald Trump by shaving off votes in critical states that would go to Joe Biden.
Don’t let anyone fool you otherwise.
They are desperate to recreate 2016.
Let’s get real. Why would RFK Jr. still be in this other than to be a spoiler for Trump.

Don’t overlook this: RFK Jr’s new running mate, Nicole Shanahan, has lots of money. That could fund his push for ballot access. Senior Dems tell me they worry he really might get on the ballot in many swing states.Time to get ready for that. 1/

Before, a Super PAC was trying to get RFK Jr on the ballot, which was vulnerable to serious legal challenge. But now the campaign is doing it, and Nicole Shanahan’s money has led senior Dems to fear that this effort could very well succeed. 2/https://t.co/Qmht5Eohf1 https://t.co/xmzApurP4X

Nicole Shanahan already bankrolled RFK Jr’s Super Bowl ad to the tune of $4 million. That’s why for Dems, her money is what really looms large in RFK’s decision to pick her. 3/https://t.co/Qmht5Eohf1 https://t.co/m6g9KpWYm8

It’s possible RFK Jr takes votes from Trump as well as Biden. But as @ThirdWayMattB tells me: “The reality is he will probably be on the ballot in the six swing states,” and “anything that divides the anti-Trump coalition is dangerous.” 4/https://t.co/Qmht5Eohf1 https://t.co/rpzoKfocpw

RFK benefits from a two-fer: He has high name rec and positive association w/the Kennedys, even as voters don’t know his crazy positions or that the family opposes his run.Dem polling finds voters turn on him when details are filled in, I’m told. 5/

There are plausible reasons why RFK might fail to threaten Biden’s chances. I went through some of them here. But he just has to get on the ballot in one or two states and pull relatively few votes from Biden to impact the race. 6/6https://t.co/Qmht5Eohf1 https://t.co/BpM5uFlEXz

We are a two party country.
Anyone telling you to vote third party is asking you to throw away your vote.
Enough did that in 2016, because they had eleven billionty reasons why they just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary Clinton.
We see how that turned out.
Opening day for the White Sox.
Both my parents were baseball fanatics, who loved to go to the games.
Just thinking of them both , remembering the games that they would take me to. How I’d get my own program, and learn how to do scoring. We brought a ‘ transistor radio’, with an earpiece, so that we could follow along with the announcer….when I was growing up, that was Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray.
Just remembering them today.

DEI was never about accepting unqualified Black & brown people. It was always about ensuring qualified Black & brown people *also* had a fair shot at acceptance despite systemic racism
The “Didn’t Earn It” you’re thinking of are legacy acceptance—like how Kavanaugh got into Yale

This is why they’re trying to villify DEI. Or at least one of the reasons.
