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.
- 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.
- 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!

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
More like mental illness
A few thousand years and counting.
Isn't that Kennedy anti vaxer a democrat?
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.
Ah, thanks. Sorry not American. Thought the Kennedys were all dems
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.
Rose Marie’s brains were less scrambled then Bobby F Jr’s.
Gross weird username
Wheeeew
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.
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.
