I hope RFK Jr. sticks around for awhile.

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'm thinking of signing up as a democrat just to vote for him in the primaries.

The real difference is that he's articulate. Alex Jones is a crass buffoon. RFK sounds as though he knows what he's talking about, but he's actually talking bollocks a lot of the time.

If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

I was just thinking it's about time we had a narcissist run for President.
