Did you listen to the speech? Ignoring the Russian/Ukraine scenario? All of it is what I liked. It finds its way from and into the campaigns of Sanders, Nader, etc., Outsiders, whom, barring Sanders, also never had a chance of ever being president but whose policies and agenda deserve an airing. The man takes you on a relatively nuanced trip through structural American foreign and domestic history over the past few decades. That's what I like about it. He will never be president, or hold office, and I'm not pretending he will, but the issues he highlights may be inane to you but are of crucial importance if you understand American politics regarding infrastructure, base, superstructure, and the appeal of cartoon-cutouts such as DeSantis, etc (people who, by choice or lack of capacity, do not have the ability to make the same kind of speeches).So what exactly is it you like about the guy? What policies make up his 'general platform' that you seem to like?
Ukraine/Russia won't be resolved by RFK jr and nor will it be resolved by 90% of the people cited by certain posters in the actual war thread or this thread (there are exceptionally well-informed posters, even if I disagree with them, aside). His opinion there isn't what interested me. His structural analysis of US as regime-change apparatus post 9/11 (not including Ukraine) is what interested me. That and the absolute hollowing out of the vital infrastructural investment within the US economy, basic Sanders' campaign (and Trump campaign) selling points.
Also posted it in the wrong thread: was meant for general, wasn't meaning to derail this thread with back and forths about it.
