Anyone considering RFK, Jr. or Jill Stein must be aware: they are right-wing, MAGA-aligned, Putin-controlled kooks. Our Red Alert campaign is sounding the alarm that these two are playing for the Red Team by helping Putin and Trump. A short thread. Image
There’s a boatload of evidence that RFK & Stein don’t reflect our values and will hand America to the Red Team. We need Dems—especially in swing states—to know about their character and record. No one can stay on the sidelines. 2/

Like Trump, RFK + Stein spew propaganda blaming the US for Russia's barbaric war in Ukraine & attack Biden relentlessly. These are straight up Russian talking points & misinformation.

I mean, "good faith"? Seriously? 3/ Image
Meanwhile, Stein dined with Putin and Trump toady Mike Flynn in 2015. Then Russia helped promote her run in 2016, and she's touted their propaganda ever since. Just like a good Russian agent. 4/

And if there’s one thing Putin and MAGA extremists love, it’s attacking our democracy. RFK and Stein’s claims that Democrats are fascists and that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Trump are Red Team staples. 5/ Image
On the issues, RFK & Stein claim to be “environmentalists" but they attack Biden's historic climate law while profiting off fossil fuels. Stein had $1M in stocks like Exxon & RFK Jr earned thousands from oil leases. That’s not “green,” that’s Red. 6/ politico.com/news/2024/03/2…
Stein was silent on abortion, never criticizing Trump or his Supreme Court picks for overturning Roe. Instead, she attacks Biden as Trump brags about ending Roe. RFK Jr backs a 15-week abortion ban & says he will re-evaluate abortion medication. They're on Team Red. 7/ Image
So it’s no wonder MAGA extremists like Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, and Charlie Kirk are actually boosting RFK and Stein. They're on the Red Team and “better for Trump,” clearing his path to victory. 8/
nytimes.com/2024/04/10/us/…
A tiny number of votes in battleground states could give Putin and MAGA fanatics what they want: a second Trump term. That means disaster for everything Dems care about. We must make sure voters are informed about RFK & Stein and know the stakes. 9/

Take it from a Gore aide. Losing because of third-party votes...well, I’ve been there, and it sucks. The stakes are way higher now. We need Dems across the anti-Trump coalition warning voters. Please join us.

It's time to talk about @RobertKennedyJr. Because despite his royal Democratic lineage, he is a right-wing, MAGA-aligned crank. It is vital that voters considering Kennedy know this about him.

Here's a thread with just SOME of the evidence. There's more. A lot more. 🧵 Image
Let's start with the latest: RFK, Jr. will appear on the CA ballot under the banner of the far-right American Independent Party, which nominated George Wallace, in 1968. Wallace was running as an overt racist. ("Segregation Now, Segregation Forever!") 2/ Image
And that's no surprise. Because the far right has embraced RFK, Jr. as one of their own. Take a minute to check out this video. It's tells you all you need to know about the guy: 3/

We know @NoLabelsOrg is actively promoting a plan to force a contingent election and throw the choice of the next president to the US House. The NYT reports they were pushing it on a recent private zoom with their "delegates"… 🧵
nytimes.com/2024/03/21/us/…
…and Joe Lieberman talked about in on TV yesterday. He said they think they are in range “to throw this to the House, and that would influence who ends up as our next president.”

Let me be clear: THEY VIEW THIS AS THEIR GOAL. 2/

Now, we know a No Labels ticket is unlikely to win a single state. But let’s suspend disbelief to explain how their contingent election plan would work. 3/

So, finally, the truth. @NoLabelsOrg has lied about their intentions (more on that below). But now they admit it - they want to force a contingent election. That's the worst way of electing Trump imaginable. Please read this @NBCNews story and this short🧵
We outed this insane plan months ago. They think they can play kingmaker if they win a state or two. They'd use their electors as bargaining chips. (Now it's gotten even crazier, with talk of a "coalition government.")
thirdway.org/memo/the-no-la…
Responding to us, No Labels denied it up and down. Their "Chief Strategist," @RyanClancyNL, told the NYT this was "a conspiracy theorist's fever dream." nytimes.com/2023/10/24/us/…

Lots of new @NoLabelsOrg Party stuff out today. A new memo, a @mmckinnon piece in Vanity Fair, and a spot on @Morning_Joe. As usual with these guys, there's plenty of hat, but no cattle in sight. 🧵 Image
In the memo, NL claims “the biggest risk factor for another Trump presidency may be Joe Biden’s candidacy.” But NL’s OWN polling proves, yet again, our point: Biden's on track to take enough swing states to win a 2-way race. Trump wins only when a NL candidate enters the race. 2/ Image
The horserace polling is bad for them, so NL resorts to a bogus metric: those “open to voting for a mod independent.” But “openness” has no predictive value, as @amyewalter and others have noted. 3/

Well this is clarifying! We’ve long said the @nolabelsorg Party is an effort by and for Republicans. Now, it’s clear they’re intending to put one at the top of their ticket. A short thread. nytimes.com/2023/10/08/us/…
Per the NYT: “The group’s CEO, Nancy Jacobson, has told potential donors and allies that the No Labels candidate will be a moderate Republican, according to three people familiar with the conversations." 2/
To be clear, this does not mitigate the No Labels threat. A moderate Republican will still split the anti-Trump coalition, lose badly, and only serve as a spoiler for Trump. 3/ Image

.@NoLabelsOrg says they're "guardians of democracy" and compares themselves to the civil rights mvmt.

What an appalling farce. In fact, the No Labels Party is deeply anti-democratic. We’ve got 5 reasons why, and that's before we get to electing Trump.🧵 thirdway.org/memo/how-no-la…
First, all political parties must abide by strict rules about their money. Except, apparently, them. Experts say the No Labels Party is "walking right up to the line of what is permissible” under the law in order to keep donors secret and accept unlimited contributions. 2/ Image
They claim they’re “not functioning as a party” while registering as the “No Labels Party” in many states, recruiting electors(!), and planning a nominating convention. 3/ Image
