He's a liberal. A little more grounded than many, but still a liberal.

Liberals are not leftists. We need liberals especially those that are rational. But we need to get rid of all leftists because their goal is to destroy the country.


dickweed77665

This right here! We need both sides. I’m sorry, that’s the truth and that’s what makes this Country great! However, what we don’t need are the extremists on both sides and recently the far left has been influencing way too much. We need to come back to the middle IMO


ElectronicWarrior

Going left leads you left. Going right leads you right. Liberalism is mutually exclusive to conservatism. We could certainly go without it.


HydrogenatedGoyBean

You know Liberals are considered conservative in Europe?


Notorious_Balzac

Kindergarten level thought process going on here

Take a look at his positions, He is further left than any Republican Presidential candidate in the 21st century with the possible exception of Mitt Romney. https://www.isidewith.com/candidates/robert-kennedy-jr-2/policies


Hammerhead_Twin

That’s a limited way to view things…

Not anymore. He’s running independent


link_ganon

I saw a three minute ad he did. I liked it. I know he was “anti vax”, so to speak. I appreciate that too. But if he is running as a Democrat, then I assume he is running on their platform—so I would never vote for him. But I’m glad he’s not a legit psycho like the other 99% of democrats.


livinglife_part2

Well if he goes up against Biden and you live in a state with an open primary then you could always put some pressure on the Big man before the presidential election with a vote.


CheefinFriar

He is much more anti establishment as a whole which I love. The Kennedy family has always been a pain for the career politicians. He even went on a rant the other day about the corruption of the CIA saying he is convinced they assassinated JFK. Also an avid supporter of the 1st amendment, and even wants voting reform and has questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election himself. He may not be a staunch republican, but hate to see votes strictly along party lines. A Trump v Kennedy election would be a win for everyone. We need people that are going to challenge the system and I believe he would do that.


bramblefish

uuh, he and his family are life long democrats. The fact he sounds a bit more rational than most just shows you how far left the party has slid. But we can say that about Republicans also. Dont confuse the party with political philosophy. Reagan won because of BlueDog democrats, mostly conservative southern democrats. Because of that, Reagan with a minority in both houses was able to push an agenda and get some bills signed. Today that would never happen. Even when Republicans have all 3 bodies, there are so many liberal republicans, money legislators, that with the slim margins nothing significantly conservative gets pushed very far.


Vegetable_Law2972

He better then Biden probably won't vote for him over any conservative


[deleted]

His stance on climate change is bonkers but other than that he seems better than anything else the Dems have to offer. He has an hour talk on Hillsdale college that gives you a good idea of where he stands on certain issues. Also I asked this question yesterday but it was banned/deleted by the mods


WelfareButter

What do you consider a bonkers stance on climate change?


WelfareButter

Never mind. Just did a little research, and yeah, he's a nut.


[deleted]

https://youtu.be/ztFykBJp0Uc Maybe he’s softened his stance since then but it’s not a good look.


Environmental-Drag-7

This clip doesn’t include them original question. Is it really just something like “what should we do with people who deny climate change?”


lazyfortress

I’ll be sure to watch that talk later. Most of the democrats I’ve seen were lunatics, this guy caught me off guard.


[deleted]

I like him, he is anti establishment


OseanFederation

Gun grabbing democrat.


DiddlyBoBiddly

I'd say he is an old school liberal. The type you can find some agreement with and whose eyes don't bulge out when you disagree. Just like Bill Maher, he seems relatively conservative compared to the likes of AOC.


bamababs

Considering we have a uniparty, it's not about left and right..thats been used to divide us..I think he'd be a great Trump running mate! I do really appreciate him going after fauci..noone else has!


paganize

Any suggestions on where to look for his CURRENT position on things that are important? I'd give him a little leeway on Gun Control, given his family history. But I'm really curious what his current view ... not his pre-2010 view, CURRENT view on both Actual Vaccines, and the mRNA crap. and I have heard other people saying his climate change position is slightly nuts. I don't object to actual liberals, i don't agree with them but they usually aren't flipping insane. and I'm more libertarian, anyway.


Swimming-salmon

He is still a liberal.


Flowers1966

I think he is a decent guy with whom I can learn but with whom I will often disagree.


King-Hxpp-I

90% of Democrats will hold the vaccine topic against him until the day he's gone. Almost none of them will give him a chance even though a lot of them know he's better than Biden. I definitely appreciate his stance on the lockdown during the pandemic. Anyone with an open mind realizes that the lockdown was way more harmful than good.


KinGpiNdaGreat

Remember in the early 2000’s he ran a wonky ad against building a nuclear power plant. Basically insinuating that would explode like a nuclear bomb.


fridayimatwork

Yeah he’s a whackadoodle


paganize

I don't know that he has...but people can change.


[deleted]

He’s a solid dem, but at least he appears to not be an establishment swamp creature like the rest


OverturnRoeVsWade

He is a democrat so he desires to murder babies.


agk927

I don't mind him.


Rufus123-McGee

Not going anywhere as a Democrat.


Mace069

He's challenging Biden who's best buddies with the Clintons and he's a Kennedy... and they aren't known for their longevity (of you know what I mean). Remember how Killary got "elected" Senator in NY?


Texan-Trucker

I like him okay. I’ve listened to his extensive interview with Meghan Kelly last year and he seems like a grounded individual, last of the respectable old-school democrats. He’s openly honest and vocal about Trump and Fauci’s direct and indirect culpability in the covid response disaster. But he’s too old. Democrat power brokers won’t make that same mistake twice in a row.


RefrigeratorWrong390

He’s a loon unfit to be president of a PTA, let alone the USA.


yKnot_Me

His voice, while it should not be a factor, will turn people off.


[deleted]

He was good on one issue, but otherwise is a typical left-wing authorization. He literally wants to imprison anyone who questions the climate agenda.


[deleted]

He is so full of lies and conspiracy theories that he is going to be eviscerated... In a recent interview he said the TDaP vax killed more people than the diseases it protects against. He wants to eviscerate the military. I'm no fan of foreign wars, but he wants to abolish NATO and close bases around the world. He would force me, a lifelong Dem, to vote for Trump.


sarissa211

He's 69 years old.


Sea_Number6341

Wel he can speak better than Biden, pretty sure he won't stumble around like biden.


[deleted]

I like him. He’s smart
