    I never understood why conservative media kept the RKF Jr train going after that was known.

    It makes for an excellent grift.

        No. But they’re hardly the only people in America worth grifting.

        Lots of smug Radical Centrists who can get suckered in with a No Labels party.

          I had to look up what a “Radical Centrist” was.

          According to Wikipedia:

          “The radical in the term refers to a willingness on the part of most radical centrists to call for fundamental reform of institutions.[1] The centrism refers to a belief that genuine solutions require realism and pragmatism, not just idealism and emotion.[2]”

          I guess I would fit that definition, but nothing about RFK Jr is realistic or pragmatic. C’mon, him being anti-vax, and anti climate change fixes? What about that is realistic or pragmatic?
