Even without that statement, RFK Jr. has enough other views that make it so that I wouldn't even think of voting for him.
Not that this is his fault (he's just working within the system the way the system's been designed), but it's noteworthy (I hate to use "telling") that his V.P. pick seems to have been chosen primarily because she's super wealthy, which will help him get on many state ballots he would likely have been priced out of and of course she helps fund his campaign in other ways. They make it so if you're not a wealthy, established institution, you have be a super wealthy individual or get the backing of the super wealthy to even run for President. Throw in the Electoral College system and it hardly seems a system worth worrying about as being under 'a threat to Democracy.'

I don't think he sucks any less than the current options.
Would be great to have a candidate that is pro Healthcare, education and bodily rights and is also ready to do something about the fentynal problem and stop funding wars.

RFK Jr. just sucks in a different way is how I'd put it. I'd put Trump at the top of any sucks list and everybody else below him, leaving it up to the individual to judge what tier of suckiness they're on. It's kind of like coffee. There is no right way to take it. Some like it black, some light and sweet. On the political scale, I'd put science deniers higher on the sucky scale - but that's just me.

Agreed I guess I view it like when I went to a Christmas party at the wife's work years ago. They were serving budweiser, bud light and Corona. I already knew budweiser and bud light sucked. So I tried some Corona. My only other choice was to leave and find my own beer. I'm sure you can relate as you sit in a different country watching this from afar.

Plus. Not like my opinion matters. I already helped shithead win once by voting Bernie. Not planning on that again.

And for the record. Corona was better. Barely but still noticeably.

So I tried some Corona. My only other choice was to leave and find my own beer. I'm sure you can relate as you sit in a different country watching this from afar. I used to care more a few years ago but now I'm at the point where as much as I'd like to see Trump lose, I really don't care all that much who wins. It'll always be the country where I was born (feel like I won a genetic lottery and a US Passport is my lifelong prize) but I don't feel for it any differently than any other country I don't live in. It's sort of like following an old sports team you're familiar with from afar but don't really care much how their season goes since you've moved. Every country has their own version of the clown show. Right now in Peru there's a scandal about the President having somehow acquired a collection of Rolex watches and people are wondering how she can afford $15k watches on her salary - if true, it's still corruption, but the scale makes it more laughable. $15k is like small town mayor level corruption in the states. There's probably guys who run recreational softball leagues who do worse. I also have a bias preferring non-American 'standard' beers. Even if it's not any better than Bud, being an import somehow makes it seem like it would be. It's been so long since I've had a Budweiser that I can't say for sure if the domestic beer I drink is better or worse than the more expensive imported Bud, but I'm pretty sure the domestics here are better. I'll never know because I refuse to pay import prices to to drink Bud. Just realized there's no Bud Light, or any other brand of Light beers here. Not that I've seen.

Holy shit. The number of political text messages I'm receiving is insane. Poll after poll on top of solicitations.
