      Because there are lots of other people who are not Trump.

      Voting for candidates with more extreme policies shifts the political needle, even if they don’t win.

        OP has given us no info about the candidates they’re considering other than RFK, who is a lunatic. There’s no merit to encouraging RFK’s views, so Biden should be OP’s choice.

          RFK has significantly less lunacy than Trump, and is much more coherent than both Biden and Trump.

          He still supports Israel though, so there is no anti genocide candidate.

              The way RFK makes (coherent) arguments in public is streets ahead of Biden and Trump, but so is almost any politician.

              In terms of honesty, RFK is between Biden and Trump. Half truths and populism, rather than the full lies of Trump.

                    The Tuskegee Experiment was not a conspiracy theory. So, in that sense you’re right.

                    Conspiracy theories and theorists are homogenous: the flawed thinking is inherent to the concept. Conspiracy theories are untrue by definition, and nothing to do with real conspiracies.
