after reading this article, it makes a lot of sense that joe rogan said RFK jr was the “only candidate that makes sense”
“Somebody will send me something and I’ll go ‘Holy cow, did you see this?’,” he said, describing how he credulously forwards fake content to his children, only for them to have to correct him. (Kennedy said that, unlike him, his children can identify fake images “immediately.”)
this reads exactly like something joe rogan would do
Joe Rogan just wants funny shit to happen. He doesn’t give a shit about how the country is run. The only reason he’s not picking Trump now is because it’s less funny now than it was when he beat Hillary.
That just screams boomer to me. It reminds me that growing up, my parents told me to not believe everything I read on the internet. If only they would take their own advice…
No shit, he’s got the brains of his aunt and uncle.
And he used to have a worm living all up in there too.
From probably raw bear meat
Blown out and full of worms?
Blown out, scrambled and full of worms.
He supposedly had a worm that ate part of his brain, leaving him with some sort of permanent brain damage.
This guy claims his brain worms left him too fucked up to run his own finances, but he wants to run the country.
RFK is just like your idiot uncle. Big uncle energy. Except weirder and without the necessary consequences. Taking weird photos with dead animals.
Speaking as a quirky uncle….
Yeah. I kinda hate you at the moment. The weird phots we take are like, forced perspective things that are fun.
Giant sunfish is on a stringer is a classic
These? Creepy.
Wtf
We’ve noticed
If this is the alternative to the two-party system, I think we’re fucked.
He’s not the alternative he’s the result. If legitimate 3rd party candidates had a real shot he would’ve never gotten this far.
I suppose, but every time there’s been a third party candidate that has gained any traction, he’s been terrible. Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader… even Donald Trump himself made a third party attempt in 2000 and got a lot further than he should have.
And then there’s the Libertarians.
Yeah they’re usually plants to draw votes away
It’s because the two-party system is a systemic problem. Our winner-take-all voting system always punishes similar candidates, so if similar groups don’t form a coalition and choose a single candidate to run for them, they will cannibalize each other and surely lose. So, you inevitably end up with two parties each representing all the factions on one side of the spectrum.
As a result, anybody on the national level who decides to run as a third party candidate (a) doesn’t understand our voting system, (b) is just doing it for the publicity, or © is out of their mind.
If we had a different voting system that did not punish similar candidates (like ranked choice), not only would quality third parties be possible, they would be inevitable.
DEFINITELY the dude that should be running this country.
FWIW… he might do less harm than Trump.
You’d have to go digging to find that bad, though.
Here’s hoping he sucks enough votes from Trump’s campaign, and then gets eaten by a bear.

They’re not sending their best brain worms.
RFK Jr.'s not going to be playing the holophonor any time soon.
This dude got a bunch of kids killed in Samoa because he pushed an anti-vax misinformation campaign against the MMR vaccine.
People stopped giving their kids the vaccine.
An outbreak happened, and kids died. He denies any connection.
He got kids killed.
So there is no “oops” for believing online conspiracy stuff in his case when he does shit like that.
Honestly, generally speaking he’s an idiot, but in this specific instance I like that he’s admitting to his fault.
We all fall for misinformation at least sometimes. It’s time to stop shaming people for falling for it and doing something about the issue.
The problem with him is that he then pushes that misinformation without vetting it first.
Does he know that not all people have this problem
They say you can’t bullshit a bullshitter, but in my experience, the opposite is often true.
I’ve never seen anyone fall for so much crap as our sales staff.
Wasn’t this guy an Epstein island frequenter according to the recent data dump, or am I mistaken?
to be fair, he’s from new york so he knows a lot of people… he knows Harvey Weinstein, he knew Roger Ailes… OJ Simpson came to his house… He knows Bill Cosby.
(paraphrased from his actual defense against questions regarding Epstein)
Birds of a feather, eh?
I could have missed some recent info drops but last I heard (and I know this is very weird but that seems on brand for RFK) he brought his wife and kids to meet Epstein somewhere to dig for fossils or some shit lol. So not nearly as bad as hanging out at the mansion of horrors on Epstein Island but he did bring his family and kids around that freak so idk if it’s that much better and who knows what actually went down too they still could have gotten into some terrible stuff wherever they were.
Good context, thank you. I wonder if the fossils and family was his PR cover story. He’s a weird dude. Brain worms 🪱 and such.
