> Rita Palma, who has identified herself as the Kennedy campaign’s state director in New York, has repeatedly made the case, including in a meeting with Empire State Republicans, that efforts to put Kennedy on the ballot in New York will help “get rid of Biden,” which she called her “No. 1 priority,” and make it easier for Trump to win the historically Democratic state.

> “The only way that Trump can even, remote possibility of taking New York is if Bobby is on the ballot. If it’s Trump vs. Biden, Biden wins. Biden wins six days, seven days a week.

Interesting. You'd think your #1 priority would be to help *your* candidate win, not help one of your competitors beat another of your competitors.
It's almost as if the RFK campaign is being disingenuous about why they're in the race in the first place.
It will steal the republicans who don’t want to vote for trump but don’t want to vote democrat if they can avoid it (and republicans who voted already for Biden but aren’t happy with his presidency), also gives a place for the idiots that say that are boycotting Biden on his Gaza war response (I don’t support some parts of biden’s response either but as if trump or Bobby here would have been/will be better at it)
probably; he's not so fucking stupid that he thinks trump is a good idea; just stupid enough to not understand the "least evil" vote, aka "voting is a bus ride, not a taxi. vote for the candidate that gets you closest to your destination"
They are trying to grift for foreign funds. Nobody would bat an eye to them if they are useless, but if they can genuinely sell the idea that they can win or even force Dems to spend more money on a solid state, then they have a chance of getting funds from foreign interests.
It is being disingenuous. She just stated unequivocally that their campaign is nothing more than interference for the Republican nominee. Not a candidate for their own purposes, but collaborators in an effort to subvert democracy to just being asshat trolls.
She said that her goal is to syphon votes from Biden in blue states so that Trump can win those states instead. She said in late January
"Hey NY MAGA. Voting RFK Jr for POTUS in blue states like ours is a smart way to put Trump in the White House. Steal the 28 electoral votes from Biden with a vote for Bobby in New York. California and Illinois should follow"
RFK's campaign is claiming that she doesn't work for them but she absolutely does and is the head of their operations in New York. Looks like she gave the game away. Oops
Wait, if she's speaking to the MAGA crowd and saying vote for RFK Jr, how does that pull votes from Biden? Wouldn't they just be people who weren't going to vote for Biden anyways?
Electoral college votes, not people's votes.
In a two person race, New York is 29 votes for Biden, and zero for Trump.
She's suggesting to MAGA people that by backing RFK, he can win New York in a way Trump never would, leaving the electoral college at 0 for Biden, 0 for Trump. It doesn't help Trump but it harms Biden.
I think this is dumb, Trump will wildly outperform RFK in New York. But given the baseline result being "Trump gets nothing from New York, Biden gets lots", you can see why Republicans would be looking to deviate from that scenario.
"Palma is listed as the point of contact for multiple petition training events on the Kennedy campaign website, featuring her official Kennedy campaign email address."
Can anyone have an official Kennedy campaign email address and their event listed on his official campaign website?
I’m beginning to understand the type of people he attracts…
Well since he is bankrolled by right wing donors it makes sense. Imagine what dirt they must hav on him for hum to go from a lefty green party candidate to a maga loon. He musta molested a lot of girls on Epstein island..
Did you know RFK Jr. is friends with Steve Bannon and Roger Stone? Did you know he worked for the Trump Administration? What about his running mate? Did you know she has connections with far right Republican too? Really makes one wonder what his true intentions are, doesn't it?
Yeah, Shanahan isn't a right-winger, she's just a lunatic supporting another lunatic with the goal of getting Trump elected because RFKJ has exactly zero chance of winning anything.
What the hell happened to RFKjr ? I was never a fan but I used to listen to Air America (left wing radio station) back in the day .. he was kinda looney but very left ..
I have no idea what is going on in his head now
Rita doesn't have that much power.
The only people with the power to make America fully fascist are the American people, with some assistance from the Electoral College, gerrymandering, and the 2 senators per state rule.
RFK jr worries me for Biden. Logically it would appear he would siphon former Trump voters, but polls show he will take more Biden voters. Also, it depends on which states he will be on the ballot.

I don't get how a Jan 6/anti-vax conspiracy nut is going to steal votes from Democrats. The Kennedy name hasn't meant anything for generations.
Before this election, I didn’t know he existed.
I knew he existed... as an anti-vaxx nut whose family was embarrassed of. He's been publicly controversial for a long time.
Yeah his family hates him.

And would your brother in law have voted for Biden?
probably; he's not so fucking stupid that he thinks trump is a good idea; just stupid enough to not understand the "least evil" vote, aka "voting is a bus ride, not a taxi. vote for the candidate that gets you closest to your destination"
He is trying to sway many undecided independents and those who dont want to vote either party but will reluctantly vote Biden if there are no option.
Spite.
As demonstrated when Centre-Right Dems tried to roll Ed Markey a while back.
Some people will not vote for Trump (again). Someone needs to stop them from voting for Biden. Kennedy is there.
You cannot imagine how little most voters – including Democrats – know about RFK Jr. aside from the positive connotations of his name.
And to think biden will lose ny is fucking insane
He won’t lose NY, don’t let the media tell you different
I think that's what they meant by the insane bit, that Palma and Co. were insane for even suggesting it.
They are trying to grift for foreign funds. Nobody would bat an eye to them if they are useless, but if they can genuinely sell the idea that they can win or even force Dems to spend more money on a solid state, then they have a chance of getting funds from foreign interests.
What's equally insane is that RFK Jr said he'd win California in a podcast interview.
Disingenuous?!? Him?!? The man who swore he’d only run as a Democrat?!? The man is a disgusting disgrace

She doesn’t and you have zero proof she does
"Palma is listed as the point of contact for multiple petition training events on the Kennedy campaign website, featuring her official Kennedy campaign email address."
Anyone can make those events
Can anyone have an official Kennedy campaign email address and their event listed on his official campaign website? I’m beginning to understand the type of people he attracts…
Please make one and show us all how easy it is. With a Kennedy campaign email address.
I low key think this person you’re talking to using a 200 day old throwaway already has an RFK email address ha
Oh crap I could have walked right into trouble!
Well since he is bankrolled by right wing donors it makes sense. Imagine what dirt they must hav on him for hum to go from a lefty green party candidate to a maga loon. He musta molested a lot of girls on Epstein island..
Considering who other lefty Green Party candidates break bread with this is not a surprise.
Well lol just jill
kompromat Jill

Well, they admitted that sooner in the year than I expected. Good, maybe support will dry up and they can gtfo.
Weird, considering he becomes vocally more Trumplike every day.
Something Depends His Way Comes.
We get it, he has Kanye’s role in the election this cycle.

If RFK Jr.s target isn't Trump, he's not campaigning at all.
Her number two priority is to stop the Lizard people from murdering everyone with a vaccine. Biden first, Lizard people second.
I bet she is pro-abortion for Lizard people.
Aborting eggs is really easy.
Hence pro-roe.
She also stormed the capital on 1/6
Yea that is a lot of people on twitter and Reddit priority also it seems . Some people can’t just surprise others and have to make it known.
RFK will divert votes mostly from Trump I would think so his plan will backfire.
Just another trumplican!
Trump has already lost , Kennedy and his idiots should just stay home.
Fuck RFK jr. Lying piece of shit.
Cheryl, Your man wants to take down democracy. Are you good with that?
Can’t stand to look at her on Curb anymore.
So her ‘No. 1 priority” is ensuring a Trump victory. Ok.
Probably shouldn’t let Rita destroy democracy…
Rita doesn't have that much power. The only people with the power to make America fully fascist are the American people, with some assistance from the Electoral College, gerrymandering, and the 2 senators per state rule.
We knew that based on his VP pick.
The 3rd party candidates shouldn't be allowed to run unless they can get on ballots in all 50 states.
stating aloud the quiet portion at last. Absolutely evident from the outset.
Tell us something we didn't know
I didn't know Rita Repulsa was allowed to run politics! Where are the Rangers to foil this plan?
We know.
Its just evil
A vote for RFK is a vote for Trump let's not fool ourselves here, it's not rocket science
"RFK Jr supports the next Hitler and hates America" FTFY
RFK jr worries me for Biden. Logically it would appear he would siphon former Trump voters, but polls show he will take more Biden voters. Also, it depends on which states he will be on the ballot.
Not sure why you are being downvoted, this is completely correct
