His campaign had a lot of good points but he's a born and bred politician, and should be treated as such.

[@michaeldavid6832]

The thing about relationships between men and women is that you can almost never get the real truth. You hear one POV and you think the other person's a monster. When you hear their side, you find out that the reason something looked crazy was that it was the least worst option the other person was forced into. When it comes to relationships, I'll always believe the man first. I've seen so much bald-faced shameless lying from vvomen that I can't trust anything they say.

[@oddfielder]

@@fancyhitchpin8675he was never hard left to begin with. And he has gradually evolved on some issues as he learned more information. So you can be distrustful - fair enough. But there is no reason to think he’s just pandering to libertarians. I think it’s the opposite. He appeals to more libertarians BECAUSE he has changed in that direction. I personally support him, even if I don’t agree on every single issue, because I share his key concerns - the health of our environment, food, pharmaceuticals, as well as the capture of industries and government agencies and the clandestine bio warfare under the guise of vaccine research and science - gain of function, etc. These are existential issues that go beyond ideological disagreements. And Stossel unfortunately has a huge blind spot.

[@bearowen5480]

RE: RFKJ's campaign to curb chronic diseases like diabetes and its precursor, obesity....Dinesh D'Souza famously tells the story about his cousin in India who was obsessed with following him to the US, "because", he said "he wanted to live in a country where, unlike India, the poor people are fat". That says it all, don't you think?

[@bearowen5480]

Harris now denies she said it, but when she was in the Senate, or maybe even when she was running in 2019, she was a full throated advocate of a mandatory "government buy-back program" of all privately owned firearms. Like many powerful Democrats, she hates the Second Amendment and would strongly support its repeal. They consistently try to obscure and deny the fact that the Founders' intent when they drafted the Second Amendment was not just to keep a militia armed, but for self defense, and, yes, as the citizenry's protection from a tyrannical Federal Government!

You can NOT be for liberty while simultaneously being in favor of restricting or removing our second amendment right to bear arms.

[@agapitacordova3850]

John stossel and 20/20 were my first experience with misinformation and the slimy way they operate. My children were attending a charter school 1997-98 . It was new in our area. There had been an incident with a knife at a school nationally. A lot of the schools were making rules about knifes at school. One of the kids accidentally ended up with mom’s lunch which contained a steak knife. The child turned in the knife. The school over reacted threatening expulsion. The parent over reacted and called a local news cast. It exploded to national tv and in walks John and his crew. They and some other news agencies surrounded the school and impacted our schooling for a week. His reporting had little to do with the facts. Broke my heart because I was such a fan. My first lesson in not believing what you see on the news.

you can realize that the climate is changing without going insane about it. you can realize the covid deaths without supporting mandated jabs and closures.

[@oddfielder]

Yeah. It’s BS. RFK has repeatedly said he is against subsidies. The establishment hates him. He’s not getting anything.

[@peterjsmith5918]

RFK has been extreme in the past, but he always has very deep knowledge and sincere reasoning. His 3 causes for choosing Trump are maybe the best the country has ever seen, and John just dismisses them with shallow excuses. That's because John never really investigates anything too thoroughly, and regularly relies on the establishment narrative as his source of truth. He does a decent job covering some libertarian issues sometimes, but his conclusions are made for MSM and I've never learned anything new. I think Trump and RFK are similar in some ways. They reached an age where they're running out of time, and they are both sacrificing easy lives for the country. They both also have thousands of hours of interviews for people to decide whether they're faking it, which I'd consider pretty ludicrous.

[@oddfielder]

@@peterjsmith5918yes. 100%. Only I wouldn’t even say extreme. He’s classically liberal and is often misrepresented and taken out of context much like Trump.

[@oddfielder]

@@davidburton9690exactly. But RFK is not going insane about the climate. It’s not even among his key issues. His issues are big pharma and medical tyranny, big ag, bio warfare, censorship, endless wars. And he cares about real environmental issues such as clean air and water and healthy soil. He supports biodynamic farming, not monocrop agriculture that strips the soil of all its nutrients.
