The Case Against RFK Jr.
RFK Junior is not who you think he is.
It pains me to say it, but he is a dangerous nutcase.
He claims to want to heal America, but his vision for our future is tainted by his endorsements of hateful conspiracy theories – and the fact that he is being funded in large part by donors aligned with Donald Trump.
It’s time to lift the curtain on a campaign based on false, irresponsible, and self-contradictory claims.
RFK Junior repeatedly promoted a right-wing conspiracy theory that chemicals in the water are turning people gay or transgender.
He suggested COVID-19 was a bioweapon, mysteriously designed to spare Jewish people.
[RFK Jr.: “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”]
He’s spent years spreading anti-vaxx lies.
And in his 2021 book, RFK Junior alleged, with no plausible evidence, that Dr. Fauci performed genocidal experiments, sabotaged treatments for AIDS, and conspired with Bill Gates to suppress information about COVID-19.
These are not the words of someone who is serious about leading – let alone healing – this country.
As someone who once worked for his father, RFK, and admired his uncle, JFK, I’m disturbed to see RFK Junior speak this way.
RFK Senior would never have suggested that a deadly virus was targeted at certain races. And as president, JFK signed the Vaccination Assistance Act in order to, “achieve as quickly as possible the protection of the population, especially of all preschool children.”
If not for his illustrious name – and role as a potential spoiler – RFK Junior would be just another crackpot in the growing pool of fringe politicians.
It’s no coincidence that he shares top backers with the likes of Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene — or that Trump allies Roger Stone and Steve Bannon encouraged him to run in the first place.
But the Kennedy brand is political gold, and it could pull away just enough sympathetic voters to tip the race toward Trump.
Democracy won by a whisker in 2020. Just 44,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin decided the outcome. If RFK Junior — or any third-party candidate — peels off just a fraction of the vote from Biden, while Trump’s base stays with him, they will deliver a victory to Trump.
If Junior had any respect for the principles his father fought and ultimately died for, he would withdraw his candidacy. Immediately.

Genuinely, do you believe that Biden as president in 2024 would not be less harmful than Trump as president in 2024? This is not a gotcha or an attempt to change your mind, I want to know what your opinion is. And I do mean worldwide, not just in the US.
This is why people voted for Biden. He was the "safe" choice, right? He was the choice of "harm reduction"
Then he helped jumped start a genocide and hasn't stopped sending it's perpetrator's bombs and money. Tell me. If a genocide starts under your presidency and you help fuel it in every way you can, are you reducing harm or increasing it?
"do you believe he would not be less harmful"
I can't roll my eyes hard enough.
I don't know who would be less harmful or more harmful at this point. Genocide is one of the most inhumane and awful acts you could possibly do.
Like does matter how much worse it gets? Are we really going to sit here and argue about how much worse we should let things get before we do something besides vote??
"do we vote for the guy commiting genocide or the guy who might put gays in concentration camps"
That sounds like a heavy handed line in a satire about our elections but no it's a real "genuine" question for people.
My opinion is full fucking stop we need to start killing politicians again.
I no longer care if the answer isn't a revolution.
I'm Ojibwe and Mexican and can't express into human language how fucking absurd it is that Americans are sitting in front of their ps5s and Pcs and tvs in next to their families on stolen land talking about which people deserve to live; that you would ask me, a political Tumblr blogger what my "genuine" opinion is on the matter.
Sometimes people ask me this and I don't whether you're looking to be absolved for your complacency or if you Really genuinely can't decide which war criminal to vote for.
And I don't know which one implies worse for our collective future.

Anyone who thinks there isn't a MASSIVE propaganda campaign going against Trump just has to type MAGA into the Tumblr search box.
Apparently Joe Biden is a war hero now. And everyone left of center has now decided that they were AGAINST the lockdowns in 2020, that it was all Trump's fault. Have yet to see an actual issue raised either in support of Biden or against Trump...
Propaganda isn't supposed to give you something to think about. It's inducing an emotional response; reaction. If you're thinking then it's not doing it's job.

Are Presidents Above the Law? 
Donald Trump thinks presidents should be allowed to commit crimes. Rubbish.
Trump claims that quote, "A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY” from prosecution for any crime committed while in office. His lawyers even claim that a president could be immune from prosecution for having a political opponent assassinated.
Trump says anything less than total immunity would quote, "incapacitate every future president." Baloney. It would incapacitate him! He’s the only president who's been criminally charged with trying to orchestrate a violent coup on January 6th, 2021.
Trump wants to turn the U.S. president into a supreme ruler — who is not bound to the same laws that everybody else is — the very antithesis of the bedrock values this country was founded on. A president shouldn’t be above the law.
In reality, this is all part of Trump’s plan to avoid accountability. He wants to gum up the legal system to delay his federal trial until after the 2024 election. If he really believed he was innocent, wouldn’t he want to have a trial as soon as possible?
Just as bad, the Supreme Court is abetting his plan by dragging its feet.
Trump’s criminal trial in the January 6 case was supposed to begin in March. But now, it’s on hold until Trump’s immunity claim is resolved by the Supreme Court. Who knows how long that will take?
The high court could have ruled on Trump’s immunity claim immediately — which Special Counsel Jack Smith asked it to do last December. Instead, the Supreme Court accepted Trump’s request not to expedite a ruling. Trump’s immunity claim then went slowly through the lower courts, which, not surprisingly, found that, no, presidents DO NOT have carte blanche to commit crimes.
The Supreme Court then had another chance to expedite a ruling on this, but it took weeks even to set a date for arguments.
The Supreme Court can move quickly when it wants to. When Trump appealed Colorado’s decision to keep him off the state ballot, the Supreme Court rushed to get a ruling out before the Colorado primary. Shouldn’t the court move with the same urgency on Trump’s immunity claim? Otherwise, Trump’s January 6th trial may not be decided before the presidential election.
Voters are entitled to know before casting their ballots whether they are choosing a felon for president.

If you abstain from voting for Biden over a stupid useless app that lowers your attention span, then you’re unbelievably droolingly stupid.
In other words, a MAGA voter
