Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday he believes Russia acted in “good faith” amid the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, adding the U.S., in fact, bore heavy responsibility for the ongoing war.

      It’s important to keep brining his terrible record up, as it seems likely he’s trying to position himself as a “moderate” challenger to Biden in the Democratic Primaries.

      I can’t say I want another 4 years of Biden, but I would take that over this clown any day.

        No one really wants Biden. He was the least worst option in 2020, the milquetoast-iest politician the Dems could offer.

        But for some reason Republicans seem to think the rest of the country wants Worse Than Last Time. “Trump lost because he wasn’t unhinged enough,” they seem to be saying. I mean, Chris Christie is running as the moderate Republican option. Chris Christie!

        I don’t want another 4 years of Biden either, but sigh I guess.

          I really don’t disagree with you, but if we want democrats to show up and vote, this is not the attitude that will make it happen. People largely believe their votes don’t matter. If the candidate is bad anyway, why even bother? I’m not saying this negativity is the only (or biggest) problem, but it is very discouraging.

          Let’s get better candidates where we can, but we need to go full speed with the best we have. If democrat voter turnout was better, there would be no contest, and maybe we could start having a real dialogue about improvements instead of just fighting to avoid more far right extremism.

          Any of them would be better than someone who is openly bought and paid for by the next biggest world power.
