Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I recently listened to the 4-part Behind the Bastards analysis of RFK Jr.
Not surprised that the man is desperate to get to the WH, considering that he was groomed more than any of his siblings into becoming the next JFK.
Groomed to become the next JFK, but they forgot the charisma, the diplomatic aptititude, the attractiveness, and the intelligence entirely..
They definitely forgot the diplomatic attitude and wisdom.
Whether they forgot attractiveness depends on how you look at that. Apparently he was a handsome guy and went on cool nature expeditions and shit as a kid…on the other hand he used to hang out around rotting animal carcasses all the damn time and loved eating rotten meat so in a more general sense, yeah, super unattractive.
I think the bigger problem is a had a fucked up childhood where he got literally whatever he wanted cuz he had infinite fuck-you money/status, plus the Kennedy curse taking his super-famous uncle and father and otherwise scarring him for the rest of his life, plus taking a LOT of drugs, equals…the guy never had a chance.
Thata a good point on his upbringing. The Kennedy family shoes are big ones to fill. He might be one of the legitimate victims of the so-called "affluenza".
