I want the record to show that I was one of the people who downvoted this, and I wanted to explain why. I agree that RFK Jr.'s candidacy is a complete joke. I just don’t think someone who happens to be related to him saying it who has no more political expertise than any of us deserves to make news.

I think this dumb dynasty stuff is acceptable only because the only reason we know RFK Jr.'s name (vs. the other randos who throw their hat in the ring and get ignored) is because of the dynasty. If the media just treated him as a nobody who has no business running for president and clearly isn’t making a real bid to win, then they also wouldn’t treat his nobody relatives as having any legitimacy in political commentary, but since they do the former, they’ll also do the latter.
It goes toward character, your honour.
