Geez. Not pretty.

RFK Jr's first wife is alive and well. His second wife killed herself after he started his current relationship with Cheryl Hines. That wife is the one who found the notebook where he kept a scorecard on the 30+ women he cheated with.

He wants to scale back the military-industrial complex and reduce our involvement in foreign conflicts.

He has a tremendous record of environmentalism.

He is anti-mandate. Most people are not "anti-vaxxers", they are concerned about the government coercion involved with the covid vax.

Our corporations and economy depend on a stable global order. If the US isn't acting as the leader in maintaining that order in the form of helping countries affirm the integrity of their borders and having enough force to minimize the threat of domestic terrorism, no one else will. The result is a netowrk of strongment who actin a a borderless manner to rule. We are already seeing that emerge in Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, where those countries are taking land and threatening their neighbors through aggression.

So yes, in a perfect world with benevolent leaders everywhere, it would be great to reduce the defense spending and reduce the impact of the miltary-industrial complex. We don't live in a perfect world.

+1. The first PP was me as recently as 4-5 years ago. Oof, how naive I was. The above PP is spot on. And I’d add our personal safety and wellbeing to that list. This is where we are and what must be, no matter how much we wish it weren’t so.

The huge portion of America who is being left behind in current system that protects the profitability of our corporations at the expense of our middle class is DONE with the globalization and endless immoral military conflicts that preserve American hegemony.

Spending on the military isn't the problem. Look at the numbers.

I like Kennedy. I notice that nobody will debate him on vaccines because he’s too well versed in the studies and science and he makes the so called “experts” look uninformed.

No one will debate him on vaccines because no one wants to platform an antivaxxer.

If he's such an idiotic nut job, you'd think a credible expert would mop the floor with him in a debate.

They would but that’s not how that’s spun and it allows a much wider platform of people to hear anti vaccine nonsense. We learned this in the Trumpen years; don’t give a platform to that which is illegitimate. It legitimizes the crazy.
