I don’t really know much about him except that everyone seems to hate him too.
Unrelated ramble: This election reminds me of the leadup to the election that Ventura won in Minnesota with 2 guys everyone hated leaving it ripe for a weird third party to win. I don’t suspect RFK could pull it off, because I think Ventura’s celebrity and centrism was an important part of that formula.
No, what the other people said.
The only thing that could be concidered a progressive move in this regard would be the fact that he would be the first break in American political tradition since George Washington to not be from one of the political party duopolies and presents to the American people physical proof that it is possible to even elect a president without the backing of the entrenched political aristocracy.
Is that enough to counterbalance all the other shit wrong with him? No lol. The only good thing about the duds is that he’s a brainwormed boomer voter magnet and can act as a spoiler for either candidate and could possibly snatch the crown of victory from whichever candidate he doesn’t like more. He’s an entertaining wildcard in a cardgame full of jokers
