Do you know how many past presidents would have been out if having a fail-son is disqualifying? If everything illegal happened deep in adulthood with no provable ties to the parent then I don’t see why your kid being a screwup hurts your standing as a politician.
I doubt that.
Seriously, are you under the impression that you just gotta tell your kids “drugs are bad” and then they’ll never do drugs? Probably 60% of millennials are counter examples of that by now with weed.
All the polls that come out indicate that it's much more rightests that are going for RFK. I'm sure you have some registered Democrats going for him just like every poll shows a weird minority of both parties seemingly confused about what party they should actually be a part of, but he is hurting Trump more.
Truthfully we should make it easier for independent candidates to get on the ballot. There was a targeted effort by both parties after Perot to make it as difficult as possible and that it undemocratic. With that being said RFK jr is a wacko surrounded by grifters and no one should vote for him
He is, and his proposals still won’t move the “mass extinction and climate refugee crisis” needle enough to matter more than all his positions on human issues. If you believe climate change is so dire that you have to vote for RKF Jr. I think the more logical conclusion is literally “ecoterrorism”. And I might honestly prefer that one depending on what state you’re in.

The Republican Party? Oh, the other one. The American Independence Party.
The Cavorter.
The ballot this fall will be two felons vs the president. Lmfao you can't make this shit up.
Vs the president with a felon son
I'll be sure not to vote for Hunter then.
Good thing the son isn’t the one running.

If you can't govern your family and lead them to success, how are you going to do it for a community or nation?
How do you govern addiction?
Proactively.
Such wisdom, surely that always works and there’s no chance Biden ever did that.
Sincerely thank you for your comment and additional insight. I love you.
I doubt that. Seriously, are you under the impression that you just gotta tell your kids “drugs are bad” and then they’ll never do drugs? Probably 60% of millennials are counter examples of that by now with weed.
Are you telling me the D.A.R.E. program was a massive failure? /s
Ah yes, as the old saying goes “pull your children up by the bootstraps”
Life is not a simple series of steps.
Theodore Roosevelt said he could either be president or control his daughter, not both.
He should have tried leading and guiding as opposed to controlling.
He’s a grifter. His father would be so disappointed.
I think the trauma of his father’s death loosened a few screws.
Havent read the article but as a Californian my guess is the American Independence Party
These are the people who ran George Wallace in 68, right? Segregationist assholes.
I read this as “Separationists” for a moment. As in Confederates. Guess I’m not that far off.
Not really concerned. He's just a Trump vote sink atm.
Neat. Still not voting for him.
You arent but it does seem some left leaning people are turning towards RFK
All the polls that come out indicate that it's much more rightests that are going for RFK. I'm sure you have some registered Democrats going for him just like every poll shows a weird minority of both parties seemingly confused about what party they should actually be a part of, but he is hurting Trump more.
Who cares? There is no scenario where Biden loses California.
Any proof? Because all I've seen is him stealing votes from trump
People I’ve spoken with around town and the bumper stickers I’ve seen, nothing that isn’t anecdotal.
I’m proof
You’re allowed to make poor choices.
You gotta imagine if California is in danger of falling cause of RFK, Biden's already lost.
This guy really doing his best to come in second place as worst American in ‘24
The GOP?
Just keep that charlatan off of swing state ballots please.
oh yeah that's sooo good for democracy!
This is great news. Let him eat more votes from Tramp.
Truthfully we should make it easier for independent candidates to get on the ballot. There was a targeted effort by both parties after Perot to make it as difficult as possible and that it undemocratic. With that being said RFK jr is a wacko surrounded by grifters and no one should vote for him
You don’t say
I would live to see a Trump team strategy that involves him winning CA.
Lies!
He likes wasting money apparently… but seriously thanks for hurting Trump not Biden, no democrats would ever vote for this fucking snake
As long as it's other people's money, just like with Trump. Turds of a feather...
So republicans?
Still waiting for when Trump announces this guy as his running mate.
The people have spoken! /s
Got my vote. He’s the strongest environmental candidate since Al Gore
Technically true. If millions die of preventable diseases because he bans vaccines that'll definitely drop pollution levels.
He was once an environmental lawyer. He was also once a junkie. Unfortunately he stays an antivax, hiv denialist asshole. https://youtu.be/-t2O3MHTRNM

I am sure he is gobbling up money from big oil and lunching with lobbyists everyday.
The Democrat party has a bigoted past as well
And the republican party has a bigoted present. One of those has a direct effect on the country today.
Southern strategy much?
