i think its a great pick.
it should put to rest any fantasy that rfk jr is in any way a good alternative for anyone not wanting to vote for the big bad orange man. kennedy is a liberal democrat through and through...and his vp pick shows it.
its amazing to me how so many people will latch on to one issue (like vaccines in kennedys case) and automatically declare a person the second coming...without ever looking into their stance on any other topic.
people here were actually suggesting that rfk jr would make a good running mate for trump.
One issue voters (which I’m not, I like a wide array of Kennedy’s stances including his environmental stances, transparency stances, stances against corporations preying on the working class, stances against corporate ownership of single family homes, stances against the healthcare system profiting by keeping us sick, stances against globalism and the concentration of supply chains that has created reliance on cities within small towns, stances reducing executive agency power, the list goes on) have every right to be one issue voters when both parties did nothing to stop an experimental medicinal mandate from stripping them of their jobs, stripping them of $100k+ in benefits, not allowing them to eat at restaurants, and not allowing them to have a beer with their buddies after work unless they had physical proof that they were jabbed with a product of Trump’s operation warp speed that has resulted in countless vaccine injuries. Were German’s that opposed their 1930s leader “one issue voters” for not supporting the Holocaust? There are many arguments against RFK voters - this VP pick being one - but saying that all his supporters are one issue voters is ridiculous considering a wide array of voters for both parties are one issue voters and if a mainstream candidate took a courageous stance against any non-mainstream issue it would gain/lose them a lot of “one issue voters”.
As far as not looking into any other topic, I hope you realize that EVERYONE that votes for Trump this go round is doing so full and well knowing that he believes he got more votes than Biden in 2020, yet lost; and is running again for what reason? To get more votes than Biden again and still lose? “Just vote for me harder this time, bro! It didn’t work last time but it totally will this time despite no election integrity reform taking place!”
I'll put it this way: Of all the humans I interact with, the only ones who have even considered voting for the guy or shown ANY level of "interest" in him are almost all on this forum and appear to really like DJT. The couple others are extremely religious alternative health providers who otherwise LOVE DJT and seem to believe polio and measles are "just a good workout for the immune system". Actually, it's RFK's vaccination position ("there is no safe vaccine," according to him) vs DJT's success with operation warp speed, which has them wanting to vote for RFK.
Now, that's clearly super biased - it's just my observation of the center to left world.
lets get a couple things crystal clear.
"By the way, Ricky, I know you despise how I stood my ground by not taking an experimental jab that the government attempted to force on me and am confident I lost my GI Bill for a totally fair reason. Figured you’d hate to know that the discharge appeal I filed 14 months ago that you so desperately wanted to fail because of the basis on which I submitted it got approved yesterday. All rights restored including my GI Bill to the value of right at $100k "
not only do i not despise your position on taking the vaccine...in no way...ever...did i suggest i did...or that you did the wrong thing for you. i was never in support of a covid vaccine mandate in any way...shape...or form...period...paragraph...end of story. i hope you get your benefits restored. i hope anyone who lost their job due to the mandate can somehow find a way to be compensated. is there any possible way i can be more clear about that?
furthermore...trump had nothing whatsoever to do with said mandate...nothing...period...paragraph...end of story. the covid vaccine mandate was 100% bidens doing...and the fact that trump helped in clearing the paths to get it developed more quickly is completely irrelevant.
your anger...while justified...is directed at the wrong person. as i said before...blaming trump for bidens mandate is akin to blaming glock when some criminal uses one of their pistols to shoot someone.
no matter how many times you repeat the same falsehoods...they are still false.
From wikipedia. Kook with more dollars than sense. Sounds like the perfect running mate for him...
i think that actually depends on the demographic. i think it hurts rfk when it comes to enticing anyone right of center. however...i think it can help him when it comes to the uber woke young people...especially the college crowd...that are disenchanted with biden and harris.

He may be getting a cancellation letter from his life insurance company soon.
I really like Jocko's podcast, but I'm not looking forward to 2 more hours of this.....

"Shanahan, 38, is a California lawyer and philanthropist. Shanahan leads the Bia-Echo Foundation, an organization she founded to direct money toward issues including women’s reproductive science, criminal justice reform and environmental causes.
Kennedy also said that, in part, Shanahan’s heritage played at least some role in his selection of her.
“I wanted someone who would honor the traditions our nation, as a nation of immigrants, but who also understands that to be a nation, we need to secure borders,”
...as a candidate for vice president, Shanahan can give unlimited sums to the campaign directly. That’s potentially a huge boost for Kennedy’s expensive push to get on the ballot in all 50 states, an endeavor he has said will cost $15 million and require collecting more than 1 million signatures."
Maybe more from trump than Biden.
Democrats get in line. they like getting in line. So will stay in line for Biden. Republicans are more independent minded. So I’m thinking Kennedy will hurt Trump more. That is why Trump is attacking him.
I would much rather listen to Kennedy with a medical condition.
Than Biden or Clamydia
in my opinion...any republican...conservative...or any person leaning right of center that votes for kennedy is either suffering from tds...ignorant...or both. it is a classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Aside from that, I'm glad you are getting your GI back, and wish this type of thing would get some play in the media. We owe it to you. Thanks for your service.
