I'm beginning to think 25A should have added a psych eval to requirements. bucolic_frolic Mar 25 #1

I hope. That will bleed off repuke votes nt Javaman Mar 25 #2

Very little evidence that RFK Jr. hurts Trump more than Biden. All Mixed Up Mar 25 #3

I disagree Just_Vote_Dem Mar 26 #9

Don't they already have their candidate? LeftInTX Mar 25 #4

The party's nominee will be chosen directly by registered delegates at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention, Celerity Mar 25 #5
