Why Does This Sub Exist?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for President of the United States in the 2024 election as a Democrat an Independent. His stance on certain issues may appeal to some but many may be unaware that he spreads blatant misinformation, some of it dangerous. The effect of his campaign on the political climate is important to note. He muddies the waters, provides traction to misinformation and promotes voter apathy by sullying the Democratic party everything.

Why is his face so red? He looks like he is about to explode.
That would have been my question. MAHA
Watched the congressional hearings on RFK Jr. this man graduated with a BA from Harvard in American history and literature, a law degree and a post grad certificate in law, No experience in public health, medicine, health care administration, epidemiology. This guy is MASSIVELY unqualified for the position. I urge you to write your senators and urge them to vote against his appointment.
I’m really hoping that he won’t be confirmed but it’s hard to say when the GOP has a majority in the senate(house as well but house doesn’t have say in cabinet nominees) they have 53 senators. Dems have 47(two of which are independents who caucus with democrats). I coulda sworn I saw somewhere that Fetterman and Bernie Sanders would be interested in confirming RFK and when I saw that I was thinking “has Bernie lost his fucking mind” but I have a feeling Bernie most likely won’t advance to confirm him. Can’t speak for Fetterman because it seems that’s he’s been becoming much more of a MAGA shill as of lately but if he ended up not confirming Hegseth although he initially said he would maybe he’ll downvote RFK as well(well I really hope). RFK to lead HHS atm I would say is the worst of his appointees. His only somewhat reasonable one is Marco Rubio and I wouldn’t even say I’m a fan of his and neither am I of Zeldin or Stefanik but I guess those two are the lesser of two evils when it comes to far more dangerous nutcases like RFK and Hegseth(who was unfortunately confirmed). The only one worse would have been Matt Gaetz as Attorney General but he got enough scrutiny from the get go that he withdrew his bid(thank fucking god for that). But as far as confirmation goes if every democrat voted against the Hegseth confirmation I’m hoping they’ll do the same with RFK and if Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell voted against Hegseth hopefully they’ll vote against RFK. That’ll leave it to a tie breaker but if any additional GOP senators vote against RFK he won’t be nominated. I’m thinking GOP senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana could be a possible no vote only because he publicly stated he thinks RFK is wrong on his stance on vaccines and if he can be the vote needed to not advance RFK that would be great. Additional no votes would be great as well but as long as he doesn’t get confirmed I’ll be happy. We can’t have someone who’s a complete dangerous nutcase who’s antivax to the max meanwhile vaccines have been proven to have saved millions of lives, believes pseudoscience and quasi-science over actual proven data and whose rhetoric is almost entirely entrenched in conspiracy theories be in charge of public health.
It's hard to imagine Trump allowing RFK to empower the FDA or Congress increasing their funding.
