INDEPENDENT AND THIRD PARTIES

7 minutes read time

A belief about third-party candidates asserts that they stand no chance against the two-party system, and votes for Independents take away votes from the preferred Democrat or Republican candidate. Duh! The mindset prevails that unless we vote for “our guy” the “other guy” will win. With the 2024 US presidential election, the same two candidates from 2020 go head-to-head again. Uncannily, both parties face a possible 11th-hour switcheroo.

Instead of choosing the lesser of two evils, the electorate could say “Enough already” and en masse cast protest votes. Instead of “R” or “D” consider “I”. Tired of Blue and Red? What about Green? Donkey and elephant mascots are so Twentieth Century.

The country stands at a fork in the road, and everyone has a pretty good idea of the scenery along either path. Both directions are distasteful to many voters who do not want more of the same for four more years. Why should we accept the binary options foisted upon us? Instead of being at the mercy of a reckless driver, the electorate can plot a new route, with better scenery, and have a say about who is at the wheel.

For a thoughtful and somewhat humorous commentary on the concept of a third-party president, refer to my September 20, 2020 post POTUS POTENTIALS: Third-Party Time. Read in-depth analyses of numerical fingerprints for numerous 2020 third-party nominees, from Libertarians to Kanye West’s Birthday Party.

Perhaps it is time for a radical change in thinking. Third-party candidates serve as a wild card or Joker, to be played at the right time to thwart the competition. Presented below find the numerical fingerprints revealing POTUS potential of four such wild cards in the 2024 election.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR (Independent)

• BIRTH DATE = 28/10/1
• VOWELS = 65/11 (full); 38/11 (reduced)
• CONSONANTS = 161/8 (full); 62/8 (reduced)
• FIRST NAME = 78/15/6 (full); 33 (reduced)
• MIDDLE NAME = 70/7(full); 34/7 (reduced)
• LAST NAME =78/15/6 (full); 33 (reduced)
• FULL NAME (20 letters) = 226/10/1 (full); 100/1 (reduced)
• MOST COMMON NUMBERS = six 5s, four 9s, three 2s, two 1s and 6s
• LEAST COMMON OR MISSING NUMBERS = one each of 3, 4, 7, with 8 missing

With nothing remarkable about this BIRTH DATE, Kennedy is currently 70 years of age. If elected as POTUS 47 (4+7=11), he would celebrate his 74th (7+4=11) birthday in his first term, and the 77th birthday in a second term. We have better luck finding master numbers with a K (11) in the LAST NAME. The LAST NAME also has a reduced total of 33 and a reduced total for CONSONANTS of 33. The FIRST NAME has exactly the same full and reduced totals as the LAST NAME. Additionally, the FIRST NAME has a reduced total for VOWELS of 11 and a reduced total for CONSONANTS of 22. The VOWELS total in the FULL NAME is 65/11 (full) or 38/11 (reduced). Such a proliferation of master numbers in this numerical fingerprint, combined with the timely birthdays, identifies very strong POTUS potential.

JOE MANCHIN (US SEN-WV)

• BIRTH DATE = 26/8 (full); 35/8 (reduced)
• VOWELS = 30/3 (full); 21/3 (reduced)
• CONSONANTS = 105/6 (full) 42/6 (reduced)
• FIRST NAME =73/10/1 (full); 28/10/1 (reduced)
• MIDDLE NAME = (Unknown)
• LAST NAME = 62/8 (full); 35/8 (reduced)
• FULL NAME (13 letters) = 135/9 (full); 63/9 (reduced)
• MOST COMMON NUMBERS = three 1s and 5s, two 8s
• LEAST COMMON OR MISSING NUMBERS = one each of 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, with 2 missing

The BIRTH DATE in this numerical fingerprint offers nothing in the way of mastery, although it worth mentioning that he will be 77 years old later this year. The only redeeming aspect is the FIRST NAME has a reduced total for VOWELS of 11. Otherwise, this numerical fingerprint is devoid of master numbers and reflects very low POTUS potential.

JILL STEIN (Green Party)

• BIRTH DATE = 25/7
• VOWELS = 33
• CONSONANTS = 125/8 (full); 26/8 (reduced)
• FIRST NAME = 43/7 (full); 16/7 (reduced)
• MIDDLE NAME = 48/12/3 (full); 21/3 (reduced)
• LAST NAME =67/13/4 (full); 22 (reduced)
• FULL NAME (14 letters) = 158/14/5 (full); 59/14/5 (reduced)
• MOST COMMON NUMBERS = five 5s, four 3s, two 1s and 9s
• LEAST COMMON OR MISSING NUMBERS = one 2, with 4, 6, 7, 8 missing

The BIRTHDATE here provides nothing in the way of mastery, although at the current age of 73, she will turn 74 (7+4=11) before the election and, if elected as POTUS 47, would celebrate her 77th birthday in the first term. The name is similarly lackluster, with a VOWELS total of 33 and a reduced total for LAST NAME of 22. The reduced total for CONSONANTS in the MIDDLE NAME is 11. With so many missing numbers, this numerical fingerprint suggests moderate POTUS potential.

CORNEL WEST (Independent)

• BIRTH DATE = 26/8
• VOWELS = 41/5 (full); 23/5 (reduced)
• CONSONANTS =157/13/4 (full); 49/13/4 (reduced)
• FIRST NAME = 67/13/4 (full); 31/4 (reduced)
• MIDDLE NAME = 64/10/1 (full); 28/10/1 (reduced)
• LAST NAME = 67/13/4 (full); 13/4 (reduced)
• FULL NAME (16 letters) = 198/18/9 (full); 72/9 (reduced)
• MOST COMMON NUMBERS = five 5s, three 3s, two of 1, 6, and 9
• LEAST COMMON OR MISSING NUMBERS = one of 2 and 4, with 7s and 8s missing

The BIRTHDATE presents no obvious evidence of master numbers, but at the current age of 70 he would celebrate birthday 74 (7+4=11) in a first term and birthday 77 in a second term. It is interesting to note that, as with Kennedy, this numerical fingerprint has the same total for FIRST NAME and LAST NAME, although no master numbers appear in these totals. However, the FIRST NAME does contain a CONSONANT total of 47/11 and a reduced total for VOWELS of 11. There are 11 CONSONANTS in the FULL NAME. Overall, this numerical fingerprint points to someone with low POTUS potential.

My reviews of the numerical fingerprints remain nonpartisan, unbiased, without regard to policies or personality. I could provide an analysis of what I think it means, but wish to avoid appearing critical, judgmental, or showing favoritism to influence one way or another. For your convenience, refer to common interpretations below, or seek out other sources. You may cross-reference any numbers you consider significant and arrive at your own conclusions.

For Reference

• BIRTH DATE = Life Path to reveal opportunities, challenges, lessons
• VOWELS = Heart’s Desire
• CONSONANTS = Authentic Self
• FIRST NAME = Personality
• LAST NAME = Traits
• FULL NAME = Destiny or Expression
• MOST COMMON NUMBERS = Strengths
• LEAST COMMON OR MISSING NUMBERS = Weaknesses
