I want the record to show that I was one of the people who downvoted this, and I wanted to explain why. I agree that RFK Jr.'s candidacy is a complete joke. I just don't think someone who happens to be related to him saying it who has no more political expertise than any of us deserves to make news.
Except that one time that guy ran for Congress or senate, and like 5 of his 6 siblings made an ad that he was not a good guy for the job. I believed that.
Gossar. Hes still in congress, even after going to the nazi sponsored (literally) "america first" confrence that runs alongaide CPAC.
I also googled it after I posted and noticed it was ALL SIX of his siblings
That seems like a good reason.
And, isn’t RFKJ’s candidacy itself a vanity campaign trading on the family name? He’s a politically incoherent, roided-out crank, with no qualifications, who would be shouting at clouds, but for the family name?
I think this dumb dynasty stuff is acceptable only because the only reason we know RFK Jr.'s name (vs. the other randos who throw their hat in the ring and get ignored) is because of the dynasty. If the media just treated him as a nobody who has no business running for president and clearly isn't making a real bid to win, then they also wouldn't treat his nobody relatives as having any legitimacy in political commentary, but since they do the former, they'll also do the latter.
It goes toward character, your honour.
