- “He’s just skeptical of giving kids too many vaccines at once. What’s wrong with questioning the FDA, which gets paid of by drug companies?”
  
  That’s what I see most commonly
He’s a moderate Republican running as a Democrat. Absurd. This country keeps sprinting towards the right wing.
- Idk if I would call him any kind of Moderate
  
  He's clearly a radical. Listen to one of his public performances. Very, very radical ideas and ideology.
  
  Republicans in America are fascists and extremely right-wing - so a moderate one is both of those things.
  
  I would. Sure, he has a couple conspiracy theories, like anti-vax stuff, but on most policies he’s a moderate
- There's nothing moderate about Kennedy, he's a full-blown MAGA far-righter. Which is why he's being laughed out of the Democratic primary, thank God.
  
  As a foreigner, why isn't he thrown out of the party? It's what we would do.
- Yes, you got it. More. Moore. Mooooaar!/s
- Thank fuckin God. We'd have nothing left if we didn't stand up to the communists currently attempting a takeover
  
  Gonna assume you're trolling, because when I read mega dumb comments I give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they're purposefully being obtuse. If you're not, define communism
Did he think no one would find that out or did he just not give a shit? I'm still confused about what the whole point of this campaign is because it doesn't seem to be achieving anything.
- Weak ass attempt from republicans to siphon votes away from Biden.
  
  I don’t understand who would give this clown the time of day
- So you’re saying a guy can’t run for office to launder money to friends and family? That’s how this whole thing works. If we stop that, the wheels come off, and it’ll be your fault. /s
- He's a Bannon project. To do the same thing Jill Stein did to Hillary in 2016
How is he even being taken seriously. He's a trumpican plain and simple.
- Saw some guy with a Kennedy campaign t shirt last week and i couldnt help but laugh...
  
  It's hard not to laugh at these people. They are just so oblivious and are so proud of themselves it's pitiful.
Guesd they gave upnon Tulsi?
RFK Jr 2024 🙌️ 🙌️

End the corrupt merger of state and corporate power. End the forever wars. Clean up the environment. Fund science to identify the causes of problems, not just to develop new ways to monetize treatment.

PS. An article making a big deal over the fact that he paid vendors? Thanks CNN.
- The guy who you think wants to "clean up the environment" told Jordan Peterson that governments were using the climate crisis to control people. So why would he use the power of government to clean up the environment?
  
  Also, I have no idea what you think science is, but it isn't that.

  If you actually listen to him talk rather than just fishing for gotchas, you'd see he points out that the government currently operates in the name of corporations - subsidies, liability protection, use of force. This is a big part of the problem in the ongoing proliferation of fossil fuel extraction and consumption. It's not as irrational as you make it out to be, to defend personal individual rights while still directing the power of government to clean up the environment.
- What forever wars is the US currently involved in? This sounds like a campaign slogan from 2012
Anti vaxers?! The HORROR!

How dare he defy the gods of pharma and question the will of the party.
- Please explain how smallpox was eliminated.
- Get out with your body autonomy bullshit. We should ban any body autonomy!
