Yep, every time RFK makes an audible noise he loses credibility with the non-insane component of the electorate and ingratiates himself to the average trump voter.
I have to object to the name Jr. has chosen for his newly formed independent party - We The People Party. I hope no one out there gets it confused with proposed constitutional amendment The We The People Act. I’m sure the authors and co-sponsors in Congress (all Democrats) are not thrilled by Jr’s choice.
I prefer to believe, that RFK has revealed himself to those of us who have been following him for a long time as a member of a very large political family, whose lifestyle, behavior and thinking is not acceptable to his own family. Think about that for a minute. Yes, TFG would love to play him to his own advantage, and God knows there is no shortage of weirdos who will follow anybody other than President Biden. The water has been so poisoned with the non-stop concerns about Biden's age that his successes go ignored. When we allow this to happen, we are our own worst enemy. In pure political terms, RFK is crackers & he picked his VP to fund the rest of his campaign. It's a little insulting but let's face it, she is another anti-vax zealot with deep pockets. Come on. I just listened to Eddie Glaude screaming at the top of his voice and the victory we need is ours to claim. The cavalry is not coming to save us - it's on us, kids. Snap out of it!
I think you responded to a comment I made that I could argue that Jr. could be more of a problem for TFG than for Biden. Jr.'s big ideas are around vaccines and few people buy his unsubstantiated claims. It is not clear why he is running other than it can be an ego trip for egomaniacs. Running so poorly in the polls at some point its good money after bad. His VP's views fit TFG's not Biden's.
I would believe that the x45 team would support RFK Jr. There are so many independents out there who are wholly for RJK Jr just because of the name.! The independents are the ones who turned the tide when Hillary was up against x45 and see how that turned out.
It is really unfortunate that somebody whose family name has been associated with nothing but patriotism in America would do something like this in the fact that he's getting money funded to his campaign by Trump's Rich friends is another example why we need President Biden
I always figured the 5 million more votes Trump got in 2016 over 2012 was due to the Libertarian/Far Right electorate lining up behind him. It didn't do enough to help him last time and I'm suspecting his support is even weaker now than his first run. Encouraging this third party run is going to come back to bite him more than Biden I believe.
While this tactic is legal, it is highly unethical in my opinion. BUT do not for a second believe that this is something that only MAGA Republicans use. JB Pritzker used it in Illinois to defeat a moderate Black Republican, who would have given him a good run for his money in the 2022 Governor's race. But, "Democrats actively worked to help Bailey succeed in the primary, with Pritzker and allies collectively spending tens of millions of dollars to both attack one of the other GOP candidates, and to help introduce Bailey to voters as a conservative affiliated with Trump – a characterization that polls show is enticing to Republican primary voters."

Anyone who did not condemn Pritzker but now condemns Trump should be ashamed.

"No one knows you're stupid until you say something."
A vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for Trump. Period.
I agree with the "weirdo factor" theory. He appeals to conspiracy theorists, and that isn't what Biden's base is about.
RFK is wasting his time and money! It's time for the new generations of Kennedys.

I just have one thing to say - Ranked Choice Voting.

What an ugly ugly so called man inside and out. Fucking shame what he has done to HIS family name.
I worked for RFK in 1968 and I know Junior's father is ashamed of him.
The Kennedy Family released a letter saying
how wrong he is!

He looks so downright creepy.
