He may be the only worthy Kennedy candidate ever to run for office.
His speaking difficulties are a big problem, I like him but struggle to listen to him.
And he's a Democrat...
Can another Kennedy win? The aristocracy remains in place - while installing an improved head of state for their current brain-dead cadaver; why not a Kennedy?
I agree his voice is sadly going to be a problem for him.
I respect his courage and really like his positions on the vaccine.
If he runs as a Dem today and wants a shot at the nomination he is going to be forced to be pro-abortion, pro gun control and pro mass immigration. This set of policies would clearly not appeal to any right wing voters.
I wish him well.
A primary challenge from a Kennedy should hopefully at least cause some disarray among the Dems.
They won't allow it, due to his record on protecting kids from vaccine risks that's too much of a danger as if were to win and be president, he could just released EVERY file they had locked up under presidential powers and burn EVERYONE involved with the decisions.
I thought he at one point ran against some House member, and tried to find info about that, but I found was this:
Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an American environmental lawyer and author known for promoting anti-vaccine propaganda and conspiracy theories.
Now, I don't agree with Kennedy on the childhood vaccines, but this is a very strange way to talk about someone for a supposedly objective website. And while Wikipedia pretends that it's just echoing its (uniformly establishmentarian) sources, none of the sources cited for this claim say anything about 'propaganda'. I know, I know.
They removed the Democratic Party personal detail on him.
If you go back to 2020 April revision:
Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an American environmental attorney, author, and opponent of vaccination. Kennedy is a son of Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former president John F. Kennedy. He is the president of the board of Waterkeeper Alliance, a non-profit environmental group that he helped found in 1999
If you go back to 2017 October revision you get an even more neutral stance on him:
Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an American environmental attorney, author, activist, entrepreneur, and radio host. Kennedy serves as president of the board of Waterkeeper Alliance,[1] a non-profit environmental group which he helped found in 1999. He is the chairman of World Mercury Project (WMP),[2] an advocacy group that seeks to reduce and eliminate mercury exposure from industry and pharmaceuticals such as vaccines.
This is the only way to get a populist President again, whether it's Trump or anyone else, by overwhelming the Democrat primary.
Sure they cheat in the primaries too, but it's small time and disorganized. With Sanders they did some procedural shenanigans and losing a thousand votes here and there. With Biden they made everybody else drop out and endorse him with backroom deals, they couldn't cheat Harris to even one delegate. Mail-in cheating relies on individuals to cheat, and it's less likely they'll risk it en masse against their own; they won't know which of their komrades is secretly an RFK supporter.
So you get a general with Trump vs RFK Jr or another populist, well one of them has to win. They've spent so much effort making it hard for 3rd parties that the deeps will just have to lump it and take the lesser populist as they fix the bug for next time.
RFK Jr. has been a strong voice for vaccine safety and stopping the authoritarian vaccine mandates.
The media is clearly going to hammer him hard with accusations of being anti-vax if he ever runs.
The current left will never support a decent man like RFK Jr so I don't think he has got any shot.
I just pray RFK Jr. has got good security. The Kennedy family obviously doesn't have a good history when it comes to seeking the Presidency.
Edward Kennedy survived his run against Carter, but he became a good boi.
Eddie never had a chance. He was a piece of shit that not even his own brothers liked.
Inb4 "Bobbie does Dallas: Clinton Boogaloo."
I know he spoke against covid hysteria and the vaccine authoritarianism but is he a typical democrat on every other issue?
He may be the only worthy Kennedy candidate ever to run for office.

This is really interesting.

its easy. "first vocally disabled president" if anyone criticize him, accuse them of being an ableist lol.

Removing this shows they view him as a threat. Generally it's informative to see what's not said or shown - much more so than what is.

Guess he wants to be killed by the Clintons just like JFK Jr.
I listened to RFK Jr a ton back when he was on Air America. He's a pretty good symbol of the segment of the party left behind.
Vocally disabled, you say?

Anything that splits the Dem vote is a positive
The debates between him and Biden will certainly be... interesting.
