    @Jolly said in I hope RFK Jr. sticks around for awhile.:

    Hey, I'm all for him. Besides the nuttery, there are some pearls in there worthy of a national debate.

    I mean I dunno, he’s against affirmative action, against forcing businesses to sell products that conflict with their religious beliefs, against “gender identity” anti-discrimination laws, against children receiving gender-transitioning treatments and surgeries, against a tiered evaluation system for women in the military, against special treatment for minority-owned businesses…

    I hope he talks that stuff up rather than the nuttery but I'm not holding my breath.

    That kind of reminds me of the old joke with the punchline "It was just one sheep!"

      That's presumably because in Australia it's never just one sheep.

        I listened to him on Rogan and Barry Weiss’ podcasts. I knew next to nothing about him before this - except that he’s supposed to be a loony toon.

        He is not an Alex Jones like figure - which I completely expected going in. He’s a reasoned person with very thought through positions.

        I don’t know nearly enough on immunology and biology to check his claims on vaccines. But he makes very specific claims based on specific studies. If his claims are garbage they should not be difficult to debunk.

              I haven’t heard him talk about most of those. My point was not that I think he’s right - but he spoke with enough detail about his claims that if they’re obviously wrong, someone sufficiently diligent should be able to debunk them.

              Normally I wouldn’t recommend debunking internet kooks - but if he’s polling as the #2 democrat, there’s lots of incentive for journalists to do it.

                    I give him 0.5/5. Some of his views on water conservation and management are valid. The rest…a nutter.
