    As it turns out, conservatism was the real plague all along.

      Conservatism is a pre-existing condition/risk factor to your (and those around you) health

      A few thousand years and counting.

        No, he is not. He initially tried to run as a Dem, but once Dems realized he was a right-wing nut job, he (appropriately) decided to run as an Independent.

            No worries. The Kennedys have always been a bit nuts. They were Dems in the 1960’s-1980’s, but began to spread out after that.

            They were never qualified to be public representatives. They were just celebrity millionaires who decided to get into politics.

              Dunno that I’d go that far. RFK was arguably the best attorney general we’ve had and had many highly progressive beliefs that he put into practice, including tackling poverty and homelessness by investing in communities. The guy was a brilliant attorney and even his work with the Senate Labor Rackets Committee was arguably more rooted in getting rid of the mob influence of guys like Hoffa.

              I don’t love everything he did but he was undoubtedly qualified to be in office and would have been a much better president than Nixon.

                …would have been a much better president than Nixon.

                Well, to be fair, a stale slice of raisin bread would have been significantly less harmful than Nixon. Even his “good deeds” were strategically designed to benefit only corporations and people in power.
