You know what?
Good on RFK Jr. 50 years ago just the thought of him being able to escape the political shadow of the previous generation of Kennedys would have been laughable.
But when I saw this headline I legitimately forgot about his dad and uncle both being assassinated. My brain went straight to the brain worms.
It’s honestly kind of crazy he’s not just a Jeb! type guy whose only notable feature is his last name.
If we judge a man on the content of his character instead of judging him on the worm content of his brain… we’ll judge Kennedy worse
Jeb¡
Yeb¡
yeah Jeb! should’ve shit his pants on stage so he would be remembered as the guy who shit his pants on stage rather than just a Bush.
sometimes not being notable is the better outcome
Secret Service had to be punished for their screw up.
“screw up”
Either way you look at it they screwed up

What a completely random thing to do.
It makes sense to me. Biden and Trump have Secret Service detail already. RFK does not. Biden wants to make sure that it at least looks like all 3 candidates are being protected from more violence.
But why
JRFK Jr and not Jill Stein or Cornell West?For probably 2 or 3 reasons:
-
To bring attention to RFK Jr to help remove votes from Trump
-
RFK Jr is much more known to right wingers, who are also more violent. They don’t even really know of Cornell West or Jill Stein enough to care. RFK Jr is running opposite of Trump on the Right wingers side, whereas the other two will only strip votes from leftwing/Biden side
-
Kennedy Curse, they shouldn’t have lobotomized Rosemary Kennedy. So anything could happen to ol brain worms
-
Because neither of them have polled high enough to qualify for it, neither has the libertarian candidate, even RFK Jr. wasn’t polling well enough for it, which is why Biden had to order this, and it wasn’t done automatically.
He’s also a Kennedy, so his chance of being assassinated is probably higher than your average candidate.
Assassination is hereditary!?
For the Kennedys it certainly seems so
Just look at what happened to the European royal families …
Just his name makes him a copy cat magnet tbh.
Because more than three people will vote for RFK Jr.
Also, JFK Jr. is dead.
Dozens of us will be voting 3rd party.
For Trump, you mean. You’re voting to get Trump elected. So lie to yourself if you like, but you’re voting for Trump.
Nice try!
You are trying to get us to vote for the duopoly, but I am most likely voting for a third party.
Green Party for the long-term goal of breaking the two-party system.
Do not forget my mantra:
We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!
While I don’t endorse the guy, I think you forgot (L) Chase Oliver. I bring this up only because the Libertarian candidates usually get more votes than the leftist candidates and I’m pretty sure they’re listed on more state’s ballots.
-Personally speaking, I’ll be one of the “three people” voting for one of the other two candidates mentioned
Yep. I vote Libertarian every Presidential election.
Good to know. According to the logic of some of the people (not me) around here, that must mean you support Biden.
But imagine the consequences of not doing it, and him getting assassinated! Not worth the risk. Also, i assume this is the future standard Trump is looking into. Competition being legal targets for the sitting president
Worm beat them to it
Kennedy is still trying to appear on ballots across the country, and his presidential aspirations are a long shot.
😬
I guess they’ll have to shoot the brain worm out
I get it, but I mean… their track record isn’t so great with Kennedys assassination attempts.
Only RFK and not other candidates?
I’d bet the vast majority of Americans can’t name any candidates besides Biden and Trump and that some could not name them either.
Trump already has the SS.
The worm is going to have a dedicated agent
Yeah, I think this Kennedy is probably pretty safe unless you count questionable life choices.
He’s so desperate for attention he’d jump in front of a bullet
Should’ve had secret service protection long before now. The guys had to relatives assassinated.
I understood that reference
Hahahaha. No one takes this guy seriously. This is only done because it looks good. There’s no threat to the guy who can’t possibly win because there’s no point in taking him out.
But also, there go my tax dollars when I’d like them to pay for roads, teachers, etc. Fuck you for running Bobby, you lying sack of shit (see takedown by Maintenance Phase podcast; the dude’s a lying liar).
All your taxes do is take money out of circulation.
