    He’s not peeling any democrats off. Only libertarians and conservative conspiracy theorists. Aka Rogan fans. The idea that dems would just vote for a Kennedy is exactly the kind of strategy I expect from trump and his ilk.

      I thought the idea was that his policies on the environment and affordable home ownership look good to liberal voters at first glance.

        If anyone gets passed the brain worms and the crazy conspiracies then maybe he’s earned it. But I doubt there’s any statistical chance he’s going to negatively impact the dem ticket.

        And his name.

        ETA: That’s the thought process, not how I feel. Last year there were literally conservatives saying “the left will vote for a Kennedy”

      I agree for the most part, but he’s also influential to dudebros, who could also be convinced to vote blue for drug legalization.

        The problem being those dude bros are too caught up in toxic masculinity and inceldom to ever be able to vote for a dem.
