Personally I don't care about party allegiances. For him to drag voters to Dem side he would have to win the democratic primary, which is notoriously corrupt and pro-establishment (they really did fuck Bernie in 2016). Personally don't think it would happen.
But if by some magic he gets the nomination there's nothing wrong w/ people switching imo, in a real democracy people should question the parties they vote for and if they align with their interest. I don't agree w/ a lot of things he has to say but based on him not being a neo-con alone I would probably vote for him.
I've listened to a 3 hour Joe Rogan podcast with him. I find his anti-vaccines stance weird as personally I think vaccines on average did more good than bad for humanity (eradicating polio, mumps, etc). Cost of occasional side-effects is negligible considering how bad e.g. getting polio is.
His stance on neocons - I doubt he will be able to beat the establishment. Trump tried and got canned and is now going to straight to jail it seems, unlike Bidens son who got a slap on the wrist (sup with that. Will americans just eat that? No outrage from Republicans?)
It's definitely good to have diversity among the candidates, but why is everyone so ancient? RFKjr is 69, Hillary is 75, Trump is 77, Biden is 80, Bernie was 81.
Any fresh blood in DC willing to go at it? I mean it's their team managing the country anyway, not them personally. They will literally be talking heads. I mean look at Zelensky, 45 year old actor who does his job perfectly playing talking head on TV to great success domestically and abroad.
