A tweet from the Democratic presidential candidate's account included the numbers 14 and 88 close together, evoking a known hate symbol.
Ironic considering how he’s the most vocal Zionist on the campaign trail. Not so different after all. It’s sickening some “leftists” and even “Marxists” support this guy.
RFK Jr’s campaign is the answer to the question, “What would it look like if a roided-out geriatric silver-spoon with a foie-gras frontal lobe ran for president.”
He could have written ‘two weeks’ and maybe ‘twelve and a half weeks’, but given the examples of his antisemitism in that article, I am sure that he knew exactly what he was doing.
Tell that to the rightist trot in the patsoc student group I left. He was whining about his freeze peach to assign RFK Jr’s book to his students (he was a professor I think). I spent too much time debating him before I stopped responding. He responded to my disengagement by calling me an authoritarian Stalinist.
I think some people have latched on to things like his Ukraine war stance. Which, while better than most democrats ( extremely low bar), still isn't good. If I recall correctly, he wants to involve UN peacekeeping troops, which doesn't help all that much. Having a position in opposition to the rest of the Democrats doesn't make him a leftist crusader.
He's still not really much different from the rest of the party though when you actually get down to it. I doubt he would even have as much traction as he does if not for his name. HIs zionist position is a non-starter for me just as an example. That's definitely not the only position I disagree with him on.
The more of a stage he gets, the more it seems to push people away from him. I doubt I will be able to vote by the next US election, but I definitely wouldn't be voting for RFK even if so.
