Public campaign finance disclosures from Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign reveal numerous payments to individuals and groups whose ideologies differ significantly from traditional Democratic Party politics, a review by CNN’s KFile finds.
A ton of people will just see the name Kennedy and do it out of reflex. Not that even President Kennedy was a great guy. Had he gotten to serve out his whole term and possibly a second one I think he would be remembered much differently than he is now. Most of his likely scandals never came to fruition because it would be pointless trying to smear a corpse that was no longer in your way.
But a ton of low information on educated reactionary voters will see Kennedy, as not what your country can do for you etc and pull the lever thinking surely he couldn’t be any worse than Biden. All the misinformation they’ve heard about Biden he’s horrible of course right? They would do it in a heartbeat.
I read stuff like this and initially think “no, people have a vague sense of who these politicians are” and then I remember 2008 when a girl told me John McCain was the protagonist from Die Hard and refused to believe otherwise.
For the real fun and games, look up Kennedy Senior and his role in world war II.
The good news is, those morons are largely confined to the Republican party, so it shouldn’t affect the outcome of the Democratic primaries at all.
Which is why I’m increasingly convinced RFK Jr’s real reason for doing this is to get his name out there so he can be Trump’s VP pick, so the two can claim they’re a “bipartisan” “moderate” “unity” ticket. throws up
