That really is strange...

My old man asked me the other day if I'd heard about RFK's potential picks and I said I'd seen some name on RCP that I'd never heard of, but he was talking about people like Aaron Rogers and Jesse Ventura. So I opened that article from RCP and told him what that article said about her and it was really nothing more than that she was rich and she was married at one point to one of Google's cofounders. My dad basically said the same thing this article says when I told him that, but I did say at the time I wouldn't put too much confidence in it because of the sources reporting it... and it just seemed like such a stupid pick.

I mused at the time that she was probably some ultra-progressive kook, just because who she was married to at one point, but I hadn't read that in print until just now.

Well... Now it's official. I think RFK is working for Trump. I don't buy the "money" excuse for RFK picking her. He doesn't need the money since he knows deep down he's not a viable candidate in the first place.

With an ultra-progressive pick like Shanahan as his running mate, they're likely to siphon off a lot of voters from the Biden* campaign, including but not limited to the Anti-Israel crowd and college age voters.

If you don't hear her speaking much than I'm wrong about that. But if all of the sudden Shanahan becomes a household name in the next couple of months after an official announcement that she's RFK's pick, this is exactly what's happening.

Canadian opinion here but all RFK Jr. has to trade on is his name and from what I have heard he is a nutter. His father and uncles must be rolling over in their graves.

Well that all depends on where you're coming from.

He was one of the only politicians out there speaking common sense about Covid vaccine mandates and lockdowns and against the US Government putting CIA and FBI staffers in high positions in social media companies to censor doctors speaking out against the narrative.

If all you're ingesting is Left-Wing media, no doubt you're going to believe that RFK is a wackjob.

If JFK is rolling over in his grave right now, I think it would be over the state of American politics and the state of the media.

Am I going to vote for RFK? No. But I would have been happy to see him as Trump's VP and I think he could have sniped a good deal of Biden* voters that are unsatisfied with the way the last 3 years have gone if they were both on the same ticket.

Well, I am coming from the left.

Though I do agree that JFK and RFK Senior must both be rolling in their graves at the state of politics in the US.

Yeah. I know. But I feel like you're from a different Left than what is front and center these days.

When I first signed up for this site, although I would never have called myself a Democrat, I was Left-of-Center as far as the mid-2000s went. Every other post I made was bashing GWB and the Republicans in power.

The Democrat Party is not at all what it used to be 20 years ago. They resemble the GWB Administration and have become the pro-war party and the pro-censorship party. They're not anti-establishment anymore. They ARE the Establishment. They own 90% of the media.

I'm just an older left and being Canadian. It is a little different.

When political tests in the past have come on the OB, I clock in as an old school Democrat.

My understanding is RFK Jr.'s family don't like his views.

I'm curious what tests you took.

I just took this one:

https://www.politicalcompass.org/

I'm pretty damn centered. I do find it funny that they consider me to be just slightly Authoritarian and Left though.

I would have probably considered myself just as much on the equal and opposite side of near-center with Libertarian Right.

They've definitely put in some questions in these tests that wouldn't have been there 4 or 5 years ago. Maybe that explains the "economic scale", but I don't see how it explains the "social scale" aspect of where I landed. I would have figured that right there would have put me on the Right side of things today.

I am very much against corporations (specifically large multi-national corporations) and monopolies though, so that probably explains the economic scale falling on Authoritarian instead of Libertarian.

I think this all depends on the test (The questions, how the questions are worded, and how you're able to answer them). I could probably take some other test and be called a far Right Winger and then take another one that has me extremely Libertarian and on the left side of things.

Oh well...

I'd take what the media says about RFK and what his family thinks of him with a grain of salt. I know they didn't like his views on Covid specifically, and that alone right there has destroyed family relationships that I know of personally. We never actually know what goes on in family business.

I don't remember now. Too many years ago. I just did them to see what they would say.

That's true about family and behind closed doors. I heard about his riff with his family over Covid.

But with a number of diseases that were thought or were eradicated because of vaccines, I keep hoping for common sense.

Right now measles is making its way across the US and Canada because of low vaccine rates in other countries. Measles is nothing to play with.
