Robert F. Kennedy Jr. running for POTUS

[Ima Freeman]

@zurew I'm not talking about the corona vaccine btw. I personally have not investigated them that much, so I don't argue for or against them. Read what I wrote.

[OldManCorcoran]

I'd vote for him. He's a conspiracy lunatic, but he's a Democrat and has real principles, not just saying whatever to appease voters. I hate being forced to vote right wing simply because the left wing candidates are FAR left, to the level Ted Kaczynski ranted about.

He could end up assassinated so VP can take over.

He thinks random blacks from New York killed Martha Moxley in a guarded, gated, mega rich neighbourhood in Greenwich, Connecticut. He also thinks these random blacks knew Martha and attended a gala ball there with her LOL. It's probably the most distorted thinking I've ever heard... The suspects Tommy and Michael Skakel are related to him. Michael was charged and spent 13 or something years in prison. RFK Jr still just rants and raves random conspiracies about other people who claims did it.

He is literally doing that...

He isn't, he literally believes these things. He is literally a conspiracy theorist. It's not an act. I appreciate wrong honesty more than just lies, so I like the man.

There is no use electing a deluded guy over Joe Biden.

RFK genuinely believes what he believes. But so does Alex Jones. That does not a good leader make.

That was literally Trump's thing.

Robert Kennedy is a “conspiracy theorist” because the corporate media says so.  

Deja vu.  I still remember the Iraq war.   The corporate media was 100% in favor of the war (as they are in favor of all wars)  and ran editorials on why the US needs to invade Iraq.  Biden, and all the democrats were in favor of the war.  I was opposed to the invasion.  People called me crazy and didn’t understand how I could be so naive.  Why did everyone believe so easily?  Because the media published lies to build the case for an invasion (weapons of mass destruction), and there was no alternative view allowed.  Because Colin Powell presented the photographic “evidence” before the UN.  So people come to the conclusions that the manipulators of information want.  That’s when I learned about “fake news”.    

Be careful about dismissing Robert Kennedy because that’s what the corporate media wants you to believe.  He may be our last hope.

Hitler was a "Nazi" because the corporate media says so.

The question is, would you still think he was a Nazi, in a world where the corporate media thought he was the best guy ever? 

"Look at all of these wonderful historians, they have dedicated their whole life to their craft. Surely they must be correct, they can't all get it wrong! (And the bad 30% of historians who do disagree and are rightly censored, are just crackpot lunatics who don't understand that the status quo is always correct)"

That is a very bad comparison.

Hitler was a Nazi because he entered and lead the so called Nazi-party

RFK doesn't call himself a conspiracy theorist, others put the label on him.

Hmm a couple of these are conspiracy theories 

 

I remember when 5g came out there were a couple conspiracy theories  About how it would rot your brain. I remember RFK was a spokesperson for that. Ik bc I subscribed to that one ?

TBF, Idk much about him but I think he does promote a bunch

Donald is a literal psychopath though, RFK is a good man he's just crazy. Biden has literal dementia and honestly is unlikely to actually be competent through to 2028. So really you're voting for the VP.

@Jodistrict You seem to assume that being wrong and lying is the same thing.

[Leo Gura]

It's quite obvious RFK plays loose with the truth. Not that he's a liar, but he has a self-deceived worldview.

His position on vaccines is flat out bad. His whole worldview is skewed by it.

What does RFK even think?

If he really believes that there is a matrix where a bunch of powerful people from all around the world can work and are working together in a malicious way against humanity (creating dangerous vaccines, 5G) etc, then why the fuck he thinks that he will be the one to do anything about it? - Like what does he think - he will singlehandedly destroy the evil elites? -how fucking deluded you would have to be , if you take his foundational beliefs (about the malicious matrix) as a fact.

I don't think he believes in evil elites. He's not that far gone. He has some surprisingly nuanced policy positions if you listen to some of his deeper policy interviews.

You don't have to believe that corporations are malicious or evil to cause lots of harm. Stage Orange DOES cause lots of harm. But Green doesn't know how to properly relate with that so they end up making things even worse.

I don't think you can expect a human being to be perfect. Biden and Trump are arguably straight up corrupt mouthpieces.

All my friends will vote RFK. RFK wants to bridge the gap between Americans on both sides of the aisle. Trump or Biden = a vote towards civil war.

Biden is not corrupt. He has a lot of integrity. Is he centrist, mainstream, and status quo? Sure, of course. But I would not confuse that with corruption proper. Trump is corrupt to the bone.

People are so bad at appreciating Biden's leadership in our currently hyper-partisan times. Biden is demonstrating remarkable leadership. Of course he's not a bleeding-heart Green the way leftists want. But that's okay. You gotta appreciate Biden relative to our times and the rest of the possibilities. The key mistake is expecting him to be a Bernie Sanders. He never promised that. Biden's promise has always been common sense moderate positions. That's not a bad thing when many people are radicalized.

I don't love Biden but I appreciate his steady and commonsense approach in wild times. People have utterly lost their appreciation of this quality.

This helps quench the fire of polarization. Being a bit bland prevents people from your side from idolizing you, and people from the opposition from ideologically crucifying you. 

That may contribute to some very important bills being passed. He's the best America could do at the moment of the last election.
