He supports the genocide, same as the duopoly, so deal breaker as well.
Fuck, he sounds like absolute shit
Here ya go:
Anyone following the US presidential race may have noticed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a particularly harsh-sounding voice. The cause is a neurological condition called spasmodic dysphonia.
Spasmodic dysphonia, also known as laryngeal dysphonia, often results in a shaky, tight or strained-sounding voice. It does not affect other functions of the vocal cords, such as laughing, crying or shouting.
It affects about one in every 50,000 people – with women being more prone to it than men. It usually develops between the ages of 30 and 50.
The causes aren’t clear, but one study found that 65% of people with the condition previously had measles or mumps – compared with the US national average of 15%.^[[1] https://theconversation.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr-reveals-why-he-has-a-raspy-voice-spasmodic-dysphonia-explained-227500]
The independent presidential candidate recounts those times somewhat wistfully, telling interviewers that he “can’t stand” the sound of his voice today — sometimes choked, halting and slightly tremulous.
The cause of RFK Jr.’s vocal distress? Spasmodic dysphonia, a rare neurological condition, in which an abnormality in the brain’s neural network results in involuntary spasms of the muscles that open or close the vocal cords.
“I feel sorry for the people who have to listen to me,” Kennedy said in a phone interview with The Times, his voice as strained as it sounds in his public appearances. “My voice doesn’t really get tired. It just sounds terrible. But the injury is neurological, so actually the more I use the voice the stronger it tends to get.”^[[2] https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-04-08/rfk-jr-voice-condition-spasmodic-dysphonia]

He also pretended to be anti-war while fully supporting Israel.
Genocide is a deal-breaker for some.

Thanks for sharing a Chris Hedges video with us!
It is a shame that he was removed from the channel.
Three months into Israel's bombardment of Gaza, the atrocities the IDF has committed against Palestinians are too numerous to name. Israel is staging a prolonged assault on the Palestinian people's very means of existence—destroying homes, hospitals, sanitation infrastructure, food and water sources, schools, and more. To understand the genocidal campaign unfolding before our eyes, we must examine the roots of Israeli society. Israel is a settler colonial state whose existence depends on the elimination of Palestinians. Accordingly, Israel is a deeply militarized society whose citizens are raised in an environment of historical revisionism and indoctrination that whitewashes Israel's crimes while cultivating a deep-seated racism against Palestinians. Miko Peled, former IDF Special Forces and author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a frank conversation on the distortions of history and reality at the foundations of Israeli identity.
FYI: You don't, so you can move along.
Again, if you don't like Twitter, you can just ignore posts and move along with your life.
Thanks for voicing your disagreement and distastes, though; feel free to continue. Echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy for society.

@SabbySabs2
Why didn't you say this the other night when you had the mic? Instead you told that blatant lie about "tirelessly working towards a ceasefire." Why do always mention Palestinians last?
@AOC
Just as we must honor the humanity of hostages, so too must we center the humanity of the 40,000 Palestinians killed under Israeli bombardment.
To deny that story is to participate in the dehumanization of Palestinians. The @DNC must change course and affirm our shared humanity.
@NaomiAKlein
Must-read from Ta-Nahesi Coates on those left out of the #DNC's diversity displays:
"No Palestinian American is scheduled to address the convention from the main stage. I suspect this is because of what such a speaker might feel compelled to say."
