Can somebody here please explain to me why RFK should be president - all I see over and over is everyone creaming themselves because he’s against vaccines. Cool.

Please tell me what this guy offers aside from this. Because I seriously can’t see it, and if he wasn’t bleeting about Covid and vaccines, the vast majority of comments here would be shitting on him because he’s a Kennedy.

Honestly you can say the same "what the fuck does he actually offer" & "why the fuck is he president" about every Oval Orifice inserted Yahoo in my lifetime.

I don't think RFK is a bigger dipshit than Joe The Wanderer or Don The Mean Tweeter or Barack The Well Spoken Sociopath or GW The Imaginary Pilot or Billy the Diddler or GHW The New World Orderer, etc., etc..

My question about any president always comes down to, "why did anyone vote for this asshole?"

No one ever answers that one.

I think that RFK would, at the very least, be a lot more fun than Joe "Empty Blather" Biden or Donald "I Tweets Mean Shit" Trump.

The idea that this is a sane country looking for sane leadership is a boat that sailed a few decades ago.

This is a red, white & blue asylum so, in the interests of Marat/Sade, maybe having one of the inmates run it wouldn't be such a bad idea.

But, then again, I no longer vote.

Lol red, white & blue asylum.

That’s a good one, I hope you don’t mind if I steal it.

You’re absolutely correct, btw.

You can steal anything you fancy.

Except, of course, my tired old heart, which is spoken for.

I would watch one of the 1000 podcasts hes been on and decide whether you think he can be president

I mean, I’ve read about him. I don’t agree with much of what he says.

I asked because so many people here seem to think he’s absolutely amazing because he has found a niche as far as narratives go, and it lines up with their views.

So I was curious if anyone else thinks he’s got policy ideas or something, anything, besides being against vaccines and against Biden.

If we are talking about third party candidates, then I think cornel west is someone who is worth listening to.

He said that as president, he would tell the truth. That would be a change for the better. Last president to consistently tell the truth....Carter?

I personally like his postions on most things. I dont know what issues are important to you but I really think if you’re curious you should seek out and listen to him speak first hand and in long form interviews. Many journalists resort to smears in articles.

Hes fought his whole legal career against against crony capitalism and corporate government capture. He wants to reform : dismantle the many alphabet agencies, end foreign wars, hes anti censorship, pro environment while against using tyrannical carbon policies on the public.

So I looked up a form he responded to.

Most of his answers were the same ones I gave.

Too bad he doesn’t have a chance in hell.

Really! Have you watched anything he says.. he makes AOC look like the neocon she is. Or are you one too??

Oh yes, I’m clearly a neo con. Why would you assume you know what my views are?

He is most certainly left. But anyone who actually believes in social services and universal healthcare doesn’t have a chance in hell.

Well, what do you think of the war in Ukraine? That is the real issue right now and divides the left from the neocons....

I am incapable of not having a very biased opinion on what is happening in ukraine. I have family members fighting, I am a Ukrainian.

Having that opinion does not make me a neocon. It makes me someone who wants my people to have their own state, and you’re damn right that I want them to have the best possible chance of maintaining that.

Because I want my family to live, and not have to hide underground for fear of getting blown up. I want my cousin who fought on the front line to survive the heart attack that he suffered while fighting for what he believes in. I want my younger cousins to have a future, like I do.

I’m very much aware that this throws me into neocon war mongering territory. But like most people who actually think, I can fully express that I am incapable of not having extreme bias.

Right, i also know Ukrainians like you. I also know that at least 20% of Ukraine is ethnic Russian. I also know that Ukraine has not allowed Russian to be taught in school. And Russian is not an official language anymore. I also know that the Maidan 'coup' was instigated by the US and executed by Nazis. I know that NATO wants to use Ukrainians as proxies in the eternal war with Russia. I know that some in power want to 'fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.' I know Zalensky has promised Ukraine to Blackrock. And i think i know that most Ukrainians are in the dark about their own dark history.
