RFK was only ever a goofy little distraction. For some reason American conservatives were convinced he would take away a lot of voters from the left, but it was obvious to everyone else that most of the people who he appealed to were otherwise going to vote for Trump. It turned out that obvious answer was also correct.
I don’t think his presence or absence were all that impactful after all.
Yep, pretty much. Democrats weren’t going to vote for him, they will always conform and vote for whoever they are supposed to vote for. They are obedience worshippers after all.
Trump supporters who were anti-vax might have voted for RFK. But otherwise yeah it wouldn’t really make much difference. He probably realized he wasn’t going to get more than 1% of the vote and decided to stop embarassing himself.
