Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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.

That's all the rules!

TL;DR

RFK Jr. ~~Repeats~~ Russian Prop~~aganda on Ukraine~~

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So RFK dislikes Ukraine and likes israel...

Why isn't he just running as a republican?

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Because of his last name. He will steal votes from older democrats who will just see Kennedy. My grandfather is someone who might be fooled by it. He wouldnt vote republican but he doesnt keep up with politics.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

A lot of that going around...

When a politician or other mouthpiece starts repeating Russian propaganda, I usually wonder whether they actually got paid for it or if they're just one of the idiots who believed the lies of someone else who did get paid.

I don't have to wonder with RFK Jr. He's so stupid Russia would never need to waste money on him. You could send him a YouTube video claiming the sky is actually made of dirt and he would repeat it.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

He just does what he gets paid for.

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So is he paid or just dumb? I haven't bothered to pay enough attention to him to know

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Who knows why he's running. I do know that the more he sounds like T****, and repeats dumb conspiracies, the more votes he potentially takes from him. Keep it up, Robert!

Lying liar lies lies.
