Kennedy’s campaign seems designed to appeal to the populist, “radical middle” voters who have been at the heart of Trump’s coalition. Echoing the way that Trump zig-zags across conventional ideological categories, Kennedy’s campaign website calls for more border security, a minimum-wage boost, the withdrawal of American armed forces abroad, the defence of free speech, new environmental policies, and efforts to tackle the cost of housing.

Just as Trump pits himself against the “deep state,” Kennedy portrays the federal government as captured by corporate interests and in need of a fundamental shakeup. On some of these issues, Kennedy may even be able to outflank Trump among the very alienated: he assails the “Covid lockdowns” that characterised Trump’s last year in office, and Kennedy is a well-known skeptic of many vaccines.

Everybody was panicking and everybody wanted the quick fix. Trump made it happen and got no credit.

Trump wasn't tasked with making sure the vaccine actually worked, that's where the scientists failed. Had the vaccine actually worked like a real vaccine, RFK wouldn't have his anti-shot platform (I don't think he's "anti-Vax). The people who vote for RFK wouldn't be voting for Trump or Biden anyway... those people are already baked in The choice is going to come down to people who are willing to continue on our current path and those who want to go in a much different direction. RFK is just another worthless vote, as was Jill Stein.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
