This is how RFK Jr tends to operate. By taking a statement with a grain of truth, he extrapolates a masterful inveigling.

I wouldn't put it past him to try to run as an independent. Even though many states have sore loser laws to prevent failed major party candidates from launching an independent bid, I imagine he could find a way to weasel around that. The other possibility that I see him pursuing is getting attached as a VP candidate to a Trump ticket. RFK Jr has already stated that he would be willing to accept a position in a Republican administration, and has been flattered by compliments from Trump.

His belief is using a free market approach on the environment.

Even if that were to be true, the only thing shown is that RFK Jr has no chance in the primary. Though, I am not convinced that is true when in 2012, an incarcerated inmate won 40% of the primary vote in WV against Obama. https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/prison-inmate-wins-more-than-40-of-democratic-vote-over-president-obama-in-wv-primary

I hear you. Daily Mail is deservedly less than reputable. I have been able to find other sources that corroborate the exhumation so far, so at least that much is verifiable.

RFK Jr. is no stranger to comparing vaccines and masks to the Nazi regime. He has previously made the claim along the lines of "at least Anne Frank could hide in the attic" to compare his perceived persecution for being anti-vaxx to the victims of the Holocaust. Thankfully, that particular comparison drew widespread condemnation. Unfortunately, I doubt we are done with such horrendous statements from the conspiracy riddled grifter.

He is a very funny man. I've only seen one video from him before this when someone was trying to explain "Loss" to me and linked to his explanation.

There are pros and cons. I have been having issues trying to upload pictures and with replying to some comments. I very much like the ability to post a link and have a description at the same time so that I don't have to immediately write a comment to describe the content of the link. I like the underlying concept of the Fediverse so far as I understand it. I also like that I can edit post titles. As someone who frequently had to delete and repost posts on reddit because I made a spelling error or some grammatical error in a post, being able to edit the post title is a life saver.

I think there is room for some improvement. I think it would be handy if I am looking at comments in a community that the comment showed which post that comment was attached too.

Overall, not too hard to get used to so far and I am really quite loving it.

Yes, that is curious. And after you posted it said 0 comments (1 new). I don't know the proper avenue to report software bugs for Lemmy, but that is a bug.

RFK Jr's platform has nothing to do with the Democrat platform as far as I can tell. He is attempting to run as a populist with unpopular platforms, and as a Democrat with Republican platforms. His main feature that is driving a plurality of his polling favorability is that his last name is Kennedy.

Yes, that was the court's main reasoning for dismissing the lawsuit. Basically, politicians are people too and have the same right to have opinions as anyone else.

Definitely. At his events he loves to bring up his father RFK and his uncle JFK, but his platform couldn't be further from theirs. RFK Jr. has even been publicly rebuked by the Kennedy family. The only thing about him that is a Kennedy is his name.
