Excerpt from RFK Jr's announcement as candidate in Democrat Primary,

"My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and throughout my presidency will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country," Kennedy said.

To quote the late David Crosby: "Sheer profundity."

So I guess you're a staunch supporter of Bernie Sanders, E. Warren, and AOC.

Common sense from a republican:
"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." --Barry Goldwater

No, just because one democrat makes some sense once in a while doesn't mean they all do. Joe Manchin is another that occasionally wanders towards the middle. The three you mention are basically loons, but Bernie a little less so but still a socialist.

Yeah, that there's one democrat that's not 100% insane sadly doesn't say much about the rest of their party.

I guess it depends on the political latitude/longitude you're looking from. To me, Manchin is normally somewhere between center and conservative, and more than occasionally wanders over to the right.

Bernie Sanders is just used by affluent educated White Liberals who know they are corporate sellouts but want to feel less guilty about it.
