Lol I totally attest all I know is the headlines which I fully realize are designed for sensationalism

Do you have an interview of his that he’s done that would be worth watching? I would totally watch an expanded segment. it sounds like you know more about him, and I don’t wanna YouTube and end up watching the wrong thing .


the one in the OP is what i'd suggest, mainly because when he goes on JRE or other right wing adjacent podcasts there's a clear agenda and bias from the interviewer. he also did the tigerbelly podcast but it was with his wife Cheryl Hines and it was 3/4 about their relationship and too silly to glean much from.

his lex fridman episodes were also fairly neutral imo.

all u hear is vaccine headlines, but in reality his platform isnt about vaccines at all. its anti corporation, looking for solutions to housing market issues, movement on healthcare, etc. Actual common sense reforms, as compared to hearing that he's a tin foil whacko right wing plant racist antisemite.

how we got to a world where the nephew of jfk, and son of rfk, 2 pivotal figures in the civil rights movement and democratic party, was a right winged racist is beyond me lol.

Will watch today. the headlines honestly is what just turned me off in addition to not giving it much time since Biden was always gonna win nomination if he sought the 2nd term. I guess fair play to him he’s almost 70 and wants a shot now as opposed to when he’s approaching 80

additionally when is there a better chance for someone who bills themselves as a middle ground common sense guy than now? the media has both candidates (trump and biden) painted as extremist polarized bad choices.

2028 could reset the board in a wash of bland candidates where he's lost in the wash.

RFK is by far the best running candidate and all you have to do is listen to a few podcasts and speeches he's given leading up to his campaign.

1) If you turn him off or think less of him because of his cracky voice(which isn't from drug use by the way the guy who said that early on in this thread is an idiot). You will miss out on the fact that his IQ compared to Trump and Biden is still higher adding both Biden and Trumps together.

2) Running as an independent he's more likely to take votes from Biden despite a lot of Republican support. Even democrats realize Biden is a total fucking idiot so they would move over to RFK in waves whereas most Republicans are Trump loyalist. You won't get a Republican to vote RFK if he were to have tried to be the Democratic nominee because there's too much party loyalty.

3) He is more well spoken and has exposed a lot of things within the government you would have never known unless you were deeply invested and researched extensively the fields he's involved in. Just hearing him talk is a breath of fresh air from the average Hope & Change presidents we've seen in the past.

4) Seeing as I've never voted in a US election because my good old state of Illinois is "forever blue" I was actually going to vote for him had he won the democrat nominee. Running as an independent gets you no where and sleepy Joe will get a vote from every society-sucker in our state. Most people don't realize Illinois is a RED state with a little blue dot called "chicago" which single handedly wins the state every 4 years. It's a joke. Even during the 2020 campaign all I heard was TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP even when I was in the city. To see the amount of votes he got in Illinois compared to what I saw everyday shows that they don't have to "steal votes" in this state people are so dumb you could tell them JFK is going to be president and they'd be like, "Awesome I heard he was running hopefully he finishes the Obama library and gives us free phones like Obama did"

he'd never be allowed. he'd get bernie'd. even in a wide open race.

I don’t think he would win the nomination, but not due to dnc shenanigans like Bernie, rather his own talking points. Don’t see him being a top 3 as opposed to Bernie who should have had it in 2016. Self admittedly I only know the headlines of his talking points which I’m sure are not completely true


bernies a nutless tool, the perfect democrat
just so happen though bogus dude is the better nutless tool

should of put a poll on this thread
