He’s right about one thing, he’s not going anywhere 😂

[bedvyr]

Oh good lord. We're pretending this guy is an actual Libertarian?

[Veiwer]

If, they were serious about breaking the 2 party system, they would have endorsed RFK

[AngeloDeath]

I never saw RFK as havig any real intention of winning or even trying to make a positive difference.

[jimkemplin]

I actually know people that were behind Kennedy that said if he drops out, they are going to vote for Trump

[christownsend]

Dropping out of the race is a fear of the wrong side winning.

[rejeannagwynn]

Who the hell is this guy, never heard of him

[terrys.]

Chase is kidding himself about being viable.

I have voted libertarian the last two election cycles, because I believe the 2-party system is fundamentally corrupt, beholden now to corporate interests, rather than the people. Unfortunately, since the last election, the Libertarian party has fractured and can’t even decide on what they stand for now, because WOKEism has influenced too many.
I personally think RFK Jr is the best presidential candidate to come along since Ronald Reagan. I’ll be voting for him whether he remains in the race or not, even if I have to write his name on my ballot by hand! I refuse to be pressured or persuaded by fear, into voting for “the lesser of two evils.” If nothing else, my vote is in protest to the current “duopoly”system and at the same time grants me the right to b!tch about what’s wrong with this country and the corruption in our politics. I think anyone who refuses to vote, loses that right to complain about our current state, because they squandered their opportunity for change when they had the chance.

I’m an Economic Libertarian, but honestly the Libertarian Party is a huge disappointment. Oliver is not a Libertarian I don’t care if he is the Libertarian Nominee. This is a guy who voted for Obama, he was a registered democrat, and now calls himself a Libertarian. Libertarianism and Liberalism do not go together at all 🤡

[crdorado]

This guy doesn't see the forest for the trees!

[clams-tv]

Yeah, no thanks Chase. Not interested in what you're selling. But hey! Thanks for being the worst Libertarian candidate since Jo Jorgenson, who was the worst libertarian candidate since Gary Johnson, who was the worst libertarian candidate since Bob Barr, who was the worst Libertarian candidate since Michael Badnarik.... etc etc.

[JamesWyatt-oj]

Chase Oliver misses the point. So sad.

[RationalZellinial]

If libertarian party wanted to actually do anything they should have endorsed RFK and not this guy!

[RT-wyst]

make sure to watch RFK's announcement today friday aug 23 at 2pm streaming live on social media

[katherineozbirn]

Her and Kennedy? Use the subject pronoun: She and Kennedy...

[Ricky-rr]

A fool has no choice but to fool themselves... Trump/Vance baby 2024!!!

[JSTEALTH]

Rfk deserves a seat in trumps cabinet! He will be a great advisor to trump! He will help bring unity back to our country!

[animalanimal]

Holy cow. Dude I think I saw this chick in Florida one spring. Not doing the news. But. Doing it real good

[Realgrande]

When Trump Wins he should nominate Tulsi for Secretary of Defense, RFK for Dept of the Interior (since he is already great dealing with wildlife), and Kristi Noem for Dept of Puppy Dogs and Kitty Cats.
