Just a random poll.
No cop outs allowed.
Trump vs. Kennedy.
Who is least god-awful.

Kennedy. While clearly insane, more than Trump. I believe 1st time electees in the USA systems are easier to stymied since the information they receive and the job requirements means they get overwhelmed. Even more true for GOP grifters.

I'll go with RFK Jr. as I feel he's the man most likely to get to the bottom of the Masonic/Jesuit/Zionist/Communist/Alien/Vast Right Wing conspiracies that have plagued our nation since it's founding; but really, if he can't appoint JFK Jr. attorney general, then what's the point?   :(

RFK.  I'm pretty sure he'd leave office if he'd be beaten for reelection.

Yep.

Plus RFK at least cares about the environment. Or did at some point.

More likely that RFK Jr throws the election for Donald.

But I voted Kennedy  :yuk:

Trump!

At least with Trump you can see he's motivated to please 40-45% of the American people.  I have no clue what RFK Jr cares about.  He's a random number generator.

Politico had a piece that high value donors for RFK so far have been Republican leaning.

Kennedy is against vaccines and 5G.  That's something...

Plus Trump will have a vendetta to pursue.

I dunno - will Kennedy get the US out of NATO?

Hmm... signs point to "maybe yes"

I never quite got why the right were convinced he was probably bad for Biden/Democrats? Yes he's a Kennedy but I'd say he seems far more likely to appeal to Trump voters because of his specific issue on covid conspiracies, but also because he's a "blow it all up"/anti-system style candidate. Both of which seem far more aliged to Trump's voters and how he presents himself.

Trump. He is evil and a threat to democracy but he is also dumb and lazy. RFK Jr is very clearly a nutjob who should NOT have access to the nuclear launch codes.

Most of his policies still are broadly-speaking left of centre, but yes he's definitely an example of horseshoe theory.  So yes it does appear in practice he's pulling more support from Trump than Biden.

Maybe on paper he has center-left policies. But he rarely talks about those, just the crazy stuff.

If we get to a point where the choice is between RFK Jr and Trump, then I think we should just launch the nukes and get it over with.

Why can't we just go back to Lyndon LaRouche?  At least nobody in numbers really voted for that guy.

If those were the only two choices, I would take a quick acting poison
