Why not just say billionaires?

It doesn't matter where their money came from. They're not supporting him because they made their money in tech, they're supporting him because they want a republican to win and RFK Jr might be dumb enough to run third party in the general and help trump.

This post has nothing to do with technology

If he makes it to the general election ballot, I know someone who may come out of post-suffrage withdrawal, to cast a ballot.

This guy would make a logical right-wing candidate for the White House. Goes to show how insanely fascist republicans have gotten.

He's running for the Democrat nomination.

That's OP's point. Republican candidates have gone so far to the right that RFK looks like a mild Republican in comparison.

Still a better option than strike-breaker Biden.

Biden? You mean the Biden that forced the Rail Owners into giving mandory sick leave? This Biden, who is touted as

We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.

by the IBEW?

They crush the strikes, crush the workers, then try to look like the "nice guys" by giving them FOUR measly sick days. It's blatant propaganda for Biden.

Not to mention it only covers IBEW, not SMART-TD and BLET.

Even MJT's worst caricaturized version of Biden would be better than this racist dumbass. C'mon.

Was 2016 that long ago? Do you not see that the contest isn't between Biden and RFK for 4 years, it's between Merrick Garland and Bret Kavanaugh for 30 years?
