      the best part is the morons who pushed for it actually think he’s going to steal D votes

        Which is a reasonable assumption if you’re basing that purely off the policies listed on Kennedy’s website. A lot of D-leaning stuff (limit corporate power, healthcare, reduce wars, etc) that would seem appealing on the surface. But every single time he gets on a stage or on a headline it’s for some bizarre statement that just sounds GOP-Lite, and I don’t expect many democrats to flip based on that press. Especially now that we have a firecracker like Harris to rally behind- but Republicans might flip.

          They expect Democrats to see Kennedy and blindly fill in that bubble because it’s what they would do for a Regan or Don Jr.

            It’s like every single action of theirs can be explained by projection or something…

            When they should be more worried about Q conspiracies and why their old boomer adherents latched on to RFK.

      Honestly, I think he would have diluted Biden’s vote. With Harris, I’m not sure which way it would go. For Trump supporters, it feels like it’s him or civil war. I don’t think they’d go for RFK

    No matter your beliefs (I think we’re all in agreement that RFK Jr. is not the guy), this is a good thing

      Except NC uses plurality voting. If you put two or more progressive candidates on the ballot that actually makes it harder for a progressive to win which is pretty backwards. They do this kind of stuff in primaries all the time: digging up another candidate that is very similar to an existing one, sometimes with the same name, to siphon off votes. The only silver lining here is that “Mr Vaccines Cause Autism” is more likely to take votes away from “Mr China Virus”.

        In what world would that worm brain qualify as progressive?? RFK is pulling conservative votes.

          Didn’t say he was. I picked one ideology to say adding more of them into a race hurts their chances. I don’t know what the fuck RFK is.

            You don’t know who RFK is yet you commented on an article about him? What the fuck?

        I hope so. But my brother in law is very gung-ho about RFK, and he would never vote R, so I’m worried personally.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
