  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., suspending his presidential campaign and throwing his support behind the Republican nominee, struck at the heart of Vice President Kamala Harris’ claim that she would protect democracy and freedom.

He also sent Democrats scurrying to dismiss the potential impact of his exit on battleground contests, where a shift of just 1 or 2 percentage points could decide who moves into the White House next year.

In announcing his decision Friday, Mr. Kennedy said the Democratic Party is “the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag and Big Money.”

He said Democrats’ efforts to keep him off the ballot and hamstring his campaign with lawsuits was “undemocratic” — as was the move by party insiders to make Ms. Harris the presidential nominee without a single primary vote.

From here: Will RFK Jr. help Trump by dropping out and endorsing him? Here's what the polls say.

'...about 55% of Kennedy’s remaining voters break for Trump, on average, and about 45% break for Harris.

That split means Kennedy's exit probably won’t affect the election in a dramatic way. If Trump were to immediately gain 55% of Kennedy’s remaining voters, explains data journalist Nate Silver, Harris’s average national lead would shrink from 2.5% to 2.1%.'

Her national lead doesn't mean much, it's electoral points that win the election

If you stop waiting, and read on; it will help you to understand the context.

If the popular vote picked our candidates; Harris wouldn't be on the ballot.

Mr. Biden won Pennsylvania in 2020 by about 1.2% of the vote, and Mr. Trump won it in 2016 by less than 1% of the vote. This year, polls show Mr. Kennedy with 3% or 4% of the vote and Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump virtually tied.


Harris can't win without winning PA.

She could win the popular vote and still lose the election, if you want to post irrelevant information be my guest
If someone posts that a third party endorsing Trump will affect the polls then it's not irrelevant and entirely valid to investigate by how much. Get off the high horse.
