If nothing else, politics shouldn’t be a family business.
always has been
He’s straight up nutty.
Glad he hasn’t managed to be relevant at all. Kind of sad how pathetic he really is
The Maintenance Phase podcast had a good ep on how he deliberately misconstrues studies to support his antivax positions. It’s on their free feed for anyone who’s curious. Charlatan all the way down.
Nuttier than squirrel poop.
I mean the good news is he’ll get the dumbass vote. The Qs, bleach drinkers, horse medicine consumers which for the most part vote for Rs.
I think it’s good for Biden.
He’s correct about Blackrock though, wanting to buy up housing and artificially inflate rents. It’s a goddamn shame Biden won’t step in and fix the housing crisis by stopping corporations from owning single family houses.
Blackstone.
BlackRock buys companies, Blackstone buys houses.
Of course, Blackstone used to be a part of BlackRock, so it’s just a corporate shell game anyways.
Shit, you’re right. I got them confused but to be fair he confused me.
Edit: BlackRock is investing in the real estate market according to their website, they’re not buying single family housing but they are investing in new construction housing that will be put up for rent. So yea sounds like some shell bullshit. They both suck.
Biden is the defacto banking candidate unfortunately
In general if you belong to one party and you switch to independent and you pull more voters from the opposite party, you’re out of touch.
In reality, which party would he even syphon votes from?
Both likely. The Republicans who dislike Trump enough to vote Democrat would probably prefer RFK, as well as the republicans who dislike Trump but were gonna vote for him because they would never vote Democrat. The republicans who want to see a R president no mater what will still vote Trump no matter their thoughts on him but little is gonna change their vote. He’ll probably pull a lot of middle right voters too, middle left maybe not so much. My worry is the coalition of republicans and independents who hate trump is only growing and now they have a candidate who’s not a democrat and also not trump.
Its kinda funny hes basically only gonna siphon Republicans, but that still doesn’t mean only Trump voters these days, interesting times.
Never Trumpers and the right leaning independent.
I’d bet that he would get mostly GOP-registered votes, but they would also be the Republicans who are most likely to vote against Trump. So kinda both?
I said this somewhere else too, but this guy reminds me of my 70 year old aunts who get all their news from clickbait articles on Facebook and who think sharing those articles with you will change your mind
Do we think he is going to take votes away from anyone? I think the USA will need all the help it can get to keep Trump out of the white house. Trumps people look like they will never turn on him
I think the theory is that he’ll siphon votes away from Democrats using the name Kennedy. I’m sure there will be a few. But not many.
He’s nothing more than yet another long-respected brand name that’s currently going down the shitter.
It’s like Craftsman all over again.
Good for his siblings.
Honestly, he’s an idiot and he certainly won’t get my vote, but I can’t even be mad about him running. I’m just glad to see a ballot with more than two relevant people on it. Sick and tired of choosing between “dumbass with a D next to his name” and “more dangerous dumbass with an R next to his name”.
For fuck sake… Ralph Nader was not that long ago. In our first past the post system, a third option will always be a spoiler.
I think you and I may have different definitions for the word relevant.
