no one here has been implying they actually believe he will win, right?
Seeing the constant stories here about his stances makes me think otherwise. This is Bernie Sanders all over again and any time or attention devoted to it is wasted.
I wish you understood more about politics to understand the fact that such things can make small contributions towards shifting the overton window and that not every mentioning of him on this board is some hopeful trying to will him to some impossible upset victory.

That isn't what is happening. No leftists are reading this. All it does is erode support for a realistic solution.
There is no benefit to promoting RFK Jr. or even mentioning him on here, because he serves one purpose: siphon votes away from the right. That doesn't help anyone at the moment.
Can't say I agree. There is no point in being ignorant. RFK serves a good purpose of shifting the overton window of what is acceptable for "liberals" to say. If he wins the nomination we can worry about him siphoning votes from the right. But he won't. And the type of person whose vote he would siphon would never vote for whoever wins the nomination instead of him.
At some point you'll need to separate 'ignorance' from 'reality'. The reality is that RFK won't win the nomination but he'll be paraded around as an 'alternative option' to Republican voters.
His job is to siphon off people from voting red, not win anything. He understands his job as foil and plays it well. He'll be financially supported for doing this, just like Bernie was.
Like I said I wish people understand politics better. A lot of it is just old men getting paid for causing problems and sacrificing their morals.
