The only person RFK Jr. would be taking votes away from is Trump.

A much bigger factor in this election than the loss of voters for Biden with RFK Jr. is the "uncommitted" voters which has gained in the percentage of voters, especially young voters who are following the atrocities of Gaza, which Biden is supporting with bombs for Israel while scolding Netanyahu for using them.

ALOHA JOHN: .... I could NOT find the article? .... only the cartoon foto. WHAT ELSE IS NEW with the Democrat Party? They have spent years attacking the Green Party every time we get on the ballot around the country. What the Dems do not get is NO ONE ONES ONE'S VOTE! If the Dems would support Ranked Choice Voting, which the Hawai'i Legislature, owned & controlled by the Democrats, blocks every year, they would not have to worry about "spoiling" the vote. In Hawai'i, the Dems have not gone after the Green Party of Hawai'i, and once again we will be on the ballot for our thirty-second year. No worries; POTUS Biden will win Hawai'i. Get rid of the electoral college and support RCV.
