The Truth About RFK Jr.
RFK Jr. seems like a decent, honest, intelligent person, but as a 70-year-old who comes from the most political family in American history and is running for the most powerful political position in the world I find it off-putting that not only does he have 0 elective experience, but he doesn’t even seem particularly well-informed where on issue after issue he says he needs to “do more research:” how to balance the budget, how to tax the rich, gender reassignment surgery for kids, school choice, Russiagate, Section 230, psychedelic legalization, UBI, federal job guarantee, etc.
He only has about a 3.4% chance of winning so the fact he’s even running further highlights his naiveté.
Anyway, RFK Jr.’s campaign boils down to… the federal government is so corrupt and incompetent that we need to… {checks notes}… make it bigger!
He wants more yet better regulations and spending.
With that said, given his popularity I think there’s still a lot of value in dissecting some of his more interesting policy positions, which as a starting point of agreement he says…
I want you to vote for me or against me not based upon the labels people have affixed to me, but rather based on my position on the various issues.
