SRS, thanks for the exposé of RFK Jr. Someone had to do it and I didn't have the energy for all the research and typing. He certainly is living proof that sometimes the apple does fall far from the tree. It's a shame he has gone down that rabbit hole on vaccines and Covid conspiracies because otherwise he has much to recommend him. He has worked tirelessly for environmental causes for nearly 40 years and has been a strong advocate for indigenous rights. He has also spoken out on economic inequality but, sadly, he's like so many populist leaders in our history who, in spite of best intentions, go way off the tracks on certain issues (anti-vaxing) as to become a threat to our society. There is a plus in all of this, however. Most people aren't aware of his environmentalism advocacy for the poor and working class. They are only aware of his more recent antifacts lunacy, so if he gets any votes at all they are more likely to be siphoned from Trump than Harris.
