    You believe that the world revolves around vaxing
    RFK history is about very liberal and progressive policies
    He is the original progressive......but today Liberals play the one issue game...if you have any overlap with the right you cant be a progressive

    Kennedy is an environmental law specialist and of counsel in the law firm of Morgan & Morgan and partner of Kennedy & Madonna, LLP.[31][32]
    Through litigation, lobbying, teaching, and public campaigns and activism, Kennedy has advocated for the protection of waterways, indigenous rights, and renewable energy.[33]

    Kennedy litigated and supervised environmental enforcement lawsuits on the east coast estuaries on behalf of Hudson Riverkeeper and the Long Island Soundkeeper,[35] where he was also a board member. Long Island Soundkeeper brought lawsuits against cities and industries along the Connecticut and New York coastlines.[36] In 1986, Kennedy was on a team of three law firms that won a case against Remington Arms Trap and Skeet Gun Club in Stratford, Connecticut, that ended the practice of shooting lead shot into Long Island Sound.[37] On the Hudson, Kennedy brought a series of lawsuits against municipalities and against industries, including Consolidated Edison and General Electric to stop discharging pollution and to clean up legacy contamination


    In 1987, Kennedy founded the Environmental Litigation Clinic at Pace University School of Law,
    The clinic has sued governments and companies for polluting Long Island Sound and the Hudson River and its tributaries.[43] The clinic argued cases to expand citizen access to the shoreline and won hundreds of settlements for the Hudson Riverkeeper.[44] Kennedy and his students also sued dozens of municipal waste-water treatment plants to force compliance with the Clean Water Act.[42] In 2010, a Pace lawsuit forced ExxonMobil to clean up tens of millions of gallons of oil from legacy refinery spills in Newtown Creek in Brooklyn, New York.

    In 2000, Kennedy and environmental lawyer Kevin Madonna founded the environmental law firm Kennedy & Madonna, LLP, to represent private plaintiffs against polluters.[32] The firm litigates environmental contamination cases on behalf of individuals, non-profit organizations, school districts, public water suppliers, Indian tribes, municipalities and states. In 2001, Kennedy & Madonna organized a team of prestigious plaintiff law firms to challenge pollution from industrial pork and poultry production.[64] In 2004, the firm was part of a legal team that secured a $70 million settlement for property owners in Pensacola, Florida whose properties were contaminated by chemicals from an adjacent Superfund site.[65

    n his first case as an environmental attorney, Kennedy represented the NAACP in a lawsuit against a proposal to build a garbage transfer station in a minority neighborhood in Ossining, New York.[84]

    In 1987, he successfully sued Westchester County, New York, to reopen the Croton Point Park, which was heavily used primarily by poor and minority communities from the Bronx.[85] He then forced the reopening of the Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, which New York City had closed to the public and converted to a police firing range.[30]

    Kennedy has argued that poor communities shoulder the disproportionate burden of environmental pollution.[86] Speaking at the 2016 SXSW Eco environment conference in Austin, Texas, he said, "Polluters always choose the soft target of poverty", noting that Chicago's south side has the highest concentration of toxic waste dumps in America.[87] Furthermore, he added that 80 percent of "uncontrolled toxic waste dumps" can be found in black neighborhoods, with the largest site in the United States being in Emelle, Alabama, which is 90 percent black

    Why don't you take a look at the recent RFK Jr. statements since 2016 and tell us which ones a Democrat would support.

    Do you think Democrats will like RFK Jr.'s casting doubt on the facts about 9/11 and pushing conspiracy theories about it?

    How about the number of Democrats who like RFK Jr. appearing at far-right wing rallies in Germany? The headline “Anti-Vaxxer RFK JR. joins neo-Nazis in massive Berlin ‘Anti-Corona’ Protest" certainly will entice Democrats to vote for him, eh?

    Of course there are all of RFK Jr.'s racist and antisemitic statements -- surely Democrats will love these. Coupled with his Nazi dog whistle Tweets.

    All the Russian propaganda shoveled by RFK Jr. will surely make Democrats vote for him. The Russian media loves this guy.

    RFK Jr. wasn't always a right-wing stooge and conspiracy theory peddler. Here's how he got this way, and how his story should be a warning to us all.

    Sympathy for the Devil
    The making of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

    And a lot of older Dems love The Kennedys and will vote for him on The Kennedy name alone.

    So tell me... RFK Jr.'s campaign was entirely funded by deep pocketed MAGA Trump donors -- who intended on having him disrupt Biden in a Democratic primary battle.

    Who is going to fund RFK Jr.'s campaign now that he is running as an independent? Certainly not Democrat or Republican donors. Maybe he can get a few dollars in small donations from the conspiracy theory crowd -- but most of them will give their money to Trump.

    RFK Jr.'s campaign is quickly going to be broke --- and he will drop out when nobody will fund his nonsense.

    Also you have the far left...
    Eric Clapton helps raise $1 million for RFK Jr. campaign
    Clapton and his band performed at an event, which raised a total of $2.2 million, including $1 million for Kennedy’s campaign and $1.2 million for a political action committee supporting him

    Anti-vax Conspiracy theorist Eric Clapton is not far left and is openly racist. Clapton supports RFK Jr. because Kennedy is one of the dirty dozen vaccine mis-informers.

    BTW -- RFK Jr. will blow a million bucks in under a month -- and his campaign will be broke.

    In the case of Eric Clapton -- it's an example of the mindless zombie which remains after one too many acid and drug trips.
