I have no love lost for Kennedy, but he's funded by Bannon in the same way all those MAGA idiots were funded by the DNC in the last election. It's pretty common practice these days for both parties to run interference in the primary cycle to try to get the worst candidate on the ballot or at least cause some chaos and wasted funds.

That's semi-fair, the key differences being: 1) Kennedy's positions aren't remotely aligned with the democratic party vs. the ultra MAGA chuds being GOP-aligned candidates, just extreme versions, and 2) The 3rd party presidential candidates draw more democratic votes than those from the GOP.

Here, I'm just (very over agressively) calling someone out for falling for it. I'm sorry, this is like, super obvious to me what's going on. RFK Jr. is a spoiler candidate promoted by fascists.

Is Biden a gifted orator? At this stage of his life, nah. And his policies draw mixed reviews from me. But not being able to see through RFK is fucking weird, I'm sorry. Techbro shit.

edit: many of Kennedy's stated policies are relatively democratic, but I had no idea, since he never talks about them
