The present purpose of this community is to spread awareness of RFK Jr's actual positions and viewpoints in an effort to diminish his utility as a chaos agent and a spoiler in the upcoming election cycle.

It’d be a predictably hilarious ‘Pub move to stand up RFK as a third party candidate only to have him siphon off the “still crazy but not that crazy” voters from Trump. The tears would be delicious.

Dems should prop him up third party.

DeSantis just said he might put RFK Jr in charge of the FDA or CDC.

Reminds me of Tulsi Gabbard. Widely regarded as an unserious Democrat by Democrats, decides to go on Fox and assorted conservative media platforms as "the Democrat willing to face the truth"
