Put it this way, the party has been around for 5 years, has announced multiple times they were going to run candidates including in the midterms, and this is the first time they have in all that time.
I saw a brief summary of RFK Jr's beliefs on the tube this morning. If true, holy cow. He thinks we should see the Ukraine war "through Russia's eyes." IOW maybe war crimes and genocide really aren't so bad. And all the mass shootings in this country are caused by antidepressants. Maybe someone can help me out with that. I already knew he was anti-vaccine. I'm starting to think that the only sane thing he believes is that his father and uncle were not shot by a couple of lone nuts. The trouble with that is, nobody cares.
Rather than his uncles or his father, he reminds me more of this guy who also ran for the Democratic presidential nomination at one time. Lyndon LaRouche - Wikipedia
