Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

Kennedy, bringing a centrist Democrat will decimate the the right. I'm a Republican and I will vote for Kennedy if he gets the D nod. We all know he won't but thats the current state of affairs.
We need to get back to sanity, we need centrists. We need unity and a candidate like Kennedy will get us back on track.
EDIT:
I type faster than I think and left out a few bits.
Kennedy the antivaxxer and antisemitic conspiracy theorist? He’s not a centrist and he has no political experience. He would lose most Democratic votes and gain a sliver of votes from Republicans.
Enough trolling. You’re not serious if you think RFK Jr is a centrist.
Antisemitic? Antivax? How but maybe the is guy asks the questions we need answered?
No, YOU need to find a library and read up on why vaccines are proven not to cause autism and why RFK is grifting you for money. Once you get past that then we can talk about centrism in America.
Asking questions that have been answered multiple times.
This is the difference between the left and right.
The left are against big pharma, but accept that the vaccines that big pharma manufactures do work. They just price gouge because they know they can, and the left believes in everyone being able to get treatment, vaccination, etc regardless of income or social standing.
The right claim to be against big pharma, but then spin wild stories about vaccines causing autism to make their case, which makes people skeptical of the vaccines moreso than being critical of the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture them. They'll bring up price gouging sometimes sure, but they'll always find time to mention some bullshit about vaccines causing autism (disproven time and time again with research), or spin some other crazy bat shit insane crap like vaccines making you magnetic or being a mind control ploy by the globalist lizard monkeys or some shit.
Sorry, but, the Democratic Party are not supporting a conspiracy theorist. As a progressive one, it is just not gonna happen. I vote progressive on the downballot and pick the most reasonable choice on the primary, and this year, that would be Biden. You're free to write him in though.
You vote for the Siberian candidate then. RFK is a Wagner shit weasel.
You may want to talk to someone... IDK what a siberian candidate is or how wagner equates to RFK. I would like to hear more about this as I am generally mystified on this.
The only one charismatic enough would be B. Sander. Kennedy's an idiot, sorry to say
You will never get that commie elected and that why the DNC dumps him every time. But he doesn't have the sand to go Ross and run 3rd party because he knows he will be on the outs w/ the DNC
Do please define "commie" and explain how Bernie Sanders fits that mold.
He's the only one that I've heard people actually support, not being a wall street henchman. Remember the literal train wreck where they "had to" poison the whole area by burning toxic substances? Remember how the corporations lied to everyone about it?
But surely this was a one off and not the status quo
How many houses does he own? Champion of the people he is not. He's just as corrupt and thats why he steps aside when he gets passed over. He is a wimp. If that guy had a set he would have run in 2016 as an independent, but nope he towed the DNC line. BS is BS
