Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ah good, an extra crazy man to help dilute the trump vote.
the best part is the morons who pushed for it actually think he's going to steal D votes

Which is a reasonable assumption if you're basing that purely off the policies listed on Kennedy's website. A lot of D-leaning stuff (limit corporate power, healthcare, reduce wars, etc) that would seem appealing on the surface. But every single time he gets on a stage or on a headline it's for some bizarre statement that just sounds GOP-Lite, and I don't expect many democrats to flip based on that press. Especially now that we have a firecracker like Harris to rally behind- but Republicans might flip.
They expect Democrats to see Kennedy and blindly fill in that bubble because it's what they would do for a Regan or Don Jr.
It's like every single action of theirs can be explained by projection or something...
When they should be more worried about Q conspiracies and why their old boomer adherents latched on to RFK.
Honestly, I think he would have diluted Biden’s vote. With Harris, I’m not sure which way it would go. For Trump supporters, it feels like it’s him or civil war. I don’t think they’d go for RFK
