    And Obama once said Biden always fucked things up.

    I think they're comparing Biden's tendency to misspeak with Trump and Kennedy actually calling each other dangerously insane.

    RFK has successfully sued many big corporations for pollution and corruption. Yet, the media is painting him to be some kind of crackpot. They jumped on him from the start and wouldn't give him any air time. If he were just a nutcase they'd let him hang himself, but they know if he's allowed to present his case, people will see that he does actually know what he's talking about.

    Try listening to him directly, rather than just being baby birds having your opinion fed to you by mamma MSM bird.

    Even a little bit of research will confirm that he is indeed a crackpot turned snake oil salesman.
    He's not valuable enough. Not enough people buy his bullshit to be worth covering. He's too much of a crack pot.
    I have listened to him directly. I have researched what he said. Most of what he says is verifiably conspiracy theory bullshit.

    Watch the John Oliver special posted earlier. He covers it pretty well. Kennedy strongly supports popular conspiracy theories until they are proven wrong then he distances himself from them and moves on to another.

    There is a reason everybody in his past who is relevant has no respect for him and has disavowed him. He's a piece of shit.

    Unfortunately I think too many have jumped on the bandwagon that RFK has nothing positive to contribute. Thanks MSM who stays loyal to the two-party system. If he would have been able to ran as an independent, no doubt he would have gotten a good chunk of votes. I would have considered voting for him over Biden and Trump despite not liking him.

    RFK was not a good use of anyone’s vote.

    He wants to get money out of politics. He's good on the environment. I think you're overlooking the positives. And the fact that he was an indie makes it a nice change from the typical two-party garbage. The calculus has changed now that Harris/Walz are in, but I would have strongly considered RFK before.

    He has nothing positive to contribute IMO. He would be an absolute disaster. Maybe not as bad as Trump, but maybe just as bad.

    He is for sale to the highest bidder. A useful idiot for the elite, at best.

    Biden is "status quo" corrupt. Which is far superior over what people like Trump and RFK want us to have.

    He has plenty of bad takes and many cons. But to ignore his positive attributes is dishonest when comparing to Biden and Trump.

    His negative attributes greatly outweigh the positive. Getting money out of politics would be great. It's all fantasy at this point, but it would be great. A greater look at the environment would also be great. His mental acuity and other stances just stand away from what I would feel comfortable voting for.

    Ken Paxton, criminally indicted attorney general of Texas, demanded investigation into fake rumor undocumented immigrants being registered to vote at Department of Motor Vehicles. Which isn't happening. Lara Trump, co-chair of RNC, announced they will root out and prosecute every "illegal" vote.

    Trump isn't trying to win election. Just get Court to declare him winner.

    Every single vote? Or just the ones that go against republicans? What about the ones who vote for Kamala for President and a republican in other races?

    They are only working to take Democrats off the rolls. None of the people they remove will be illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants aren't allowed to vote. Just voters who haven't voted in awhile or who registered when different laws/protocols were in place.

    Agreed. But in the context of Biden and Trump, RFK personally had a chance to get my vote.

    You didn't know that people cross dangerous terrains like rivers and oceans just to come here and vote? That's how much they're invested in the American dream...
