    I think the right is trying to push him back into the left as a Biden alternative now that Biden is a lot more unpopular than the last time they tried.

      You’re supporting my point about conservatives loving a name (and thinking liberals do too), instead of an ideology. Putting his batshit craziness aside for a moment, when I look at RFK Jrs policy positions, he’s not a liberal. Why do conservatives think liberals would vote for a conservative?

      His policies appear to be:

      • anti climate change initiatives
      • anti vaccination (even for things like measles!)
      • believes abortion is a tragedy, but said he’d allow it
      • thinks US support of Ukraine is a mistake, and thinks diplomacy would solve it instead (Has he not read the Budapest Memorandum?)
      • backs Texas’s actions at the southern border
      • wants to make government backed 3% mortgages, but doesn’t talk about where the money would come from or where all the new housing would either

      Its crazy to think that comparing to RFK Jr, George W Bush is more liberal.
