Based on funding sources alone, it’s clear RFKjr is a cutout puppet for MAGA interests to split the Dem vote.

Regardless, his anti-vaxx and pro-virus message is irrational, illogical, and downright dangerous. Rolling Stone has a disturbing feature on RFKjr and his many anti-science views.

    God I’m so tired of hearing about this fuckin lunatic. Comes out of nowhere to ask to be nominated President after years of fuck all. Refuses to acknowledge Trump is a criminal. It’s such a blatant honeypot

      I wonder what the hell is the point, then I remember words from the twice-indicted, twice-impeached former president “All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have…” I’m still not sure what the one more than we have part means, but people are pretty stupid and I could see that many people tossing their vote in with the idiot anti-vaxxer.

      I just sat back for a couple minutes going over the potential candidates for president and it’s pretty damn pathetic.

        Right, it seems pretty likely that he’s just going to run as a third party to try to spoil Biden’s vote, because at least some percentage of left-leaving people might be likely to vote for a candidate just because they see the Kennedy name on the ballot, without knowing anything about him. It’s already been reported that his biggest donors are also major donors to GOP candidates.
