RFK Jr. request for restraining order over vaccine videos removed from YouTube rejected
thehill.com
A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a request from Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to temporarily bar Google from removing videos of him from YouTube based on its medical misinformation policies.
U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson found that Kennedy’s case against Google and its subsidiary YouTube is unlikely to succeed because the companies are not state actors and, as a result, can’t be held responsible for abridging his speech.

So...he's basically in this election to divide votes. Not to win. Because there's no democrat that wins the presidency with this.
He’s not a democrat.
He's a Democrat like your crazy great aunt who keeps ranting about how things were better under President Kennedy and who hasn't voted for a Democrat since Nixon and who keeps posting insane misinformation on Facebook is a Democrat. I've met people like that, RFK will appeal to them. And siphon votes off from the Republicans.
Yep. These people were probably 50/50 on Bill Clinton even and definitely weren't voting Obama, because reasons. Nothing of value was lost
"I don't know, there's just something about him I don't like. Did you hear, he wasn't even born here!" Sheep, just millions of sheep
One of my mom's middle aged white lady friends is absolutely the type of person you're talking about. Antivaxx, only feeds her (completely untrained) border collies home-cooked food because of "preservatives" but smokes, thinks 9/11 was an inside job, and she is one of the most anti-Trump people out there.
I used to think there were some hard-line indicators to which way a person swings politically, but it turns out that crazy people will just latch onto the marketing that appeals to them personally. In the case of this particular middle aged white lady who likes feeling smarter than she is, she'll distance herself from the "dumb, uneducated" rural population. I don't think she actually understands the talking points anymore than your average trump voter.
I don't think people like her are too common though, so hopefully a split ticket wouldn't be super noticeable.
It's primary season, he can't divide votes running against an incumbent President, they will literally laugh him out of the nominating convention.
The only danger would be if he tries a 3rd party run in the general election.
Honestly The only people I know that have ever had anything good to say about him are my family who have always been hardline Trump supporters. If he decides to run as third party he won't be hurting the Democratic ticket in the least, he'll just split the Republican vote.
I think the fear is, there are enough senior Democrats who would go "Kennedy? Yes sir!"
Democrats that old are the "never Lincolns party" Democrats and have probably been burning their votes for the green or libertarian parties anyway.
The boomers really are clueless. Had a long discussion about the world and capitalism and they still think it is the 60s.
