    He probably says a lot of other dumb bullshit, too. I fail to see how this is even remotely considered news.

      We live in an age where people believe dumb shit of it’s said out loud. And they vote.

      Hey just a heads up, if your app is lagging when you press submit and you press submit again, it does go through both times eventually.

        If you hide posts on Lemmy, you can’t see your own posts and you might think it didn’t work.

      I fail to see how HE is even remotely considered news.

      Take his last name away and he would get zero press. As it should be.

      Instead, this clown - who has ties to the far right and should be considered a disruptive candidate - could siphon just enough votes away in some key races to give Trump or DeSatan a win.

    As far as I’m concerned, RFK Jr. is just another crank that should be making his rants on a street corner with a sandwich board sign.

    Ah yes, the litmus test for stupidity.

    Thinking thousands of independent researchers, from many different institutions, corporations, multinationals and peer review journals, in many different countries (who are friendemies and enemies with each other), who are all working in cahoots, without as much as a single legitimate whistleblower or any credible evidence that proves a massive, global coverup and the only ones who know about it are the ones who get paid for speaking engagement.

    That’s not just paranoia, that’s not just stupidity, that is purely distilled narcecism, brined in stupidity and baked in paranoia.

    A tinfoil duncehat for you, sir. You are a special somebody.

    FYI from a non-American, if RFK ends up with the nomination and the next year or so is just him and Trump/DeSantis bickering on TV and then one of them becomes president, we might have to all just go off into space and leave you here.

    Especially if you guys aren’t even making good films or TV now with everyone on strike.

    Not everything is newsworthy- after all, there are plenty of other conspiracy-theory-embracing bigots spewing racism at holiday dinners and they’ll never be made famous

    We now live in a place and time where publishing news that a conservative, dark-money-backed populist politician said racist things isn’t going to hurt them politically. In fact, in some circles that’s going to be seen as a signal of strength and if we don’t learn our lessons from the rise of Trump we are going to get more where that came from, good and hard

      He’s running as a Democrat. If he splits off and runs as third party after losing the primary, Democrats need to know that he’s a crazy antivaxx bigot so he won’t get otherwise uninformed Democrats’ votes and won’t be a spoiler against Democrats. Plus, if he runs as third party and it’s obvious that he’s a crazy antivaxx bigot, he can be a spoiler against Republicans, since crazy antivaxx bigots are a vital constituency within the Republican Party.

      The mods have made it clear that misinformation is allowed because misinformation benefits republicans. This tabloid shit is allowed on purpose.

      That said, this story is confirmed by at least two other sources that have been posted here.
