Its basic strategy in any campaign. Also, I'm not super convinced that RFK jr is really taking any votes from the left. The campaign seems to think they are, but isn't releasing any data on this.
The polls I've seen with/without RFK seem to be pretty back and forth. I wouldn't be surprised for them to be aware of how he impacts votes in very specific counties they feel they need to win.
doesn't help that polls have been basically broken since 2019. that happens when a million people die with a bias for older people and they were the last to have landlines and answer unknown numbers.
Yeah, the campaign was talking about snatching New York from Dem's and I was like ok yeah sure.
But honestly, RFK is polling around 10%. He could snatch a state. If that happens, Democrats lose, certainly.
Snatch a state, as in get the electoral votes?
Yeah. The RFK campaign was discussing it earlier this week. Basically that it would hurt Biden, but not Trump.
What state is realistically in play?
Their words not mine, but I can get you a clip.
Here is what I'm talking about. It might just be speculation, but it did come from the campaign.

Well, at first glance I would say they are delusional, but who the fuck knows what will happen.
Yeah, I'm re-watching it.
I don't know if I believe this consultant. Its also not super clear to me that RFK is pulling any voters from Biden as the consultant claims. You would have to be an extraordinarily low information Democrat to believe that RFK is where you are going with your vote, and if you are that frustrated with democrats, Its not clear to me you are a low information voter.
Top story on reddit was that RFK has fired this person.
I would too, getting the mission heard on mic.
Hm. Does seem like saying the quiet part out loud.
And you know RFK, he is nothing if not a quiet speaker.
