Oh, where to start. You should clarify the "using Steve Bannon as a political advisor." This is likely an exaggeration based on a CBS story.
Election rigging can mean Republican redistricting and Republican attempts to rig elections through making black voters jump through hoops to vote.
If he's questioning Biden's technical win, he's wrong. If he's questioning the ethics of Biden's win as front runner, he's correct, considering Bernie Sanders should have been the front runner representing Democratic party.
As far as his hyperbole about distrust of govt. that is typical political sloganeering within the context of a run for office. I'm sure he's not going to haul out a 2 foot long list of agencies and spend an hour itemizing which ones he likes and which ones he finds appalling.
The United States Armed Forces? I should hope he doesn't support the ginormous military budgets that places warfare over welfare.
Kennedy is a bit of a nut, and he does have disturbing anti-science views, but he is still head and shoulders above the geriatric war mongers and supporters of the status quo you have had running your country for decades--both parties.
Exciting...hardly. It's pathetic that a guy who is clearly gullible in some key areas is still the best bet you have for a sane leader, as the systemic insanity of American politics outpaces Kennedy's nuttiness.
You forgot the most important issue, really. Kennedy is a fierce advocate for environmental protection and for fighting climate change. THAT excites me.
I'm Canadian and a Democratic Socialist focused on environmental and class issues. Those are my true colors.
I don't think Kennedy will have any major impact on the Democratic party, at this time--particularly if we have another wave of Covid, between now and elections and he continues to beat the anti-vaccine drum. If he was running under another banner, I'd agree with you.
The difficulty, for me, is trying to explain to anti-vaxxers that though I am for the vaccine, I would love to see Big Pharma stripped of their influence in Washington, as well as their funding research into disease that focuses on management (with drugs) rather than cures of disease.
Another Trump administration would be a pure disaster, and it was a real life conspiracy that he won at all. So, In terms of conspiracy, it's not wise, in my opinion, to slur anyone as a "conspiracy theorist" until you examine their ideas carefully. If I wasn't a conspiracy theorist, I wouldn't understand the MAGA phenomenon.
We can easily see, through Cambridge Analytica and Flynn's Q-anon, that the radical right is quite capable of creating false environments and fake conspiracies (which is a conspiracy, in itself) to suck people in and essentially radicalize them. It's ironic that Kennedy appeared on Alex Jones as Jones is either a useful idiot or an intentional provocateur.
I appreciate your comment and understand how you feel. Best wishes to you, Elizabeth and all of those in the U.S. I know how hard it is. I left in 2003.

True enough! I was surprised he was that old!
