I've been saying for awhile that dealing with RFK Jr needs a 2 pronged strategy. The first is to air ads that appeal to anti-vaxxers and conspiratorial theorists. Make him ATTRACTIVE to those people. Trump is saddled with bringing the vaccine to the public via "Operation Warp Speed" and gets some boos when he says the vaccine is effective (so he doesn't talk about it anymore). Air commercials that explicitly contrast RFK Jr and Trump to show RFK Jr is the "real" anti-vaxxer (aka nut job). At the same time, enlist Kennedys to talk to Dem voters about just how freaking crazy their brother, cousin, etc. is. Attack him from both side with a similar, but tailored message that appeals to some and completely turns off others.

I think this has the risk of backfiring by providing free marketing.

RFK Jr. says he can ‘make an argument’ that Biden is ‘greater threat’ to democracy than Trump

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said Monday that President Biden may be a “greater threat to democracy” than former President Trump, citing his own legal batt…

I think that's fair: liberals stop protesting injustices when they're committed by a Democratic president, so there's no domestic opposition on progressive issues.

When Obama was elected, people largely stopped protesting the Iraq war and federal torture facilities.

When Biden was elected, people largely stopped protesting Black Lives Matter, MeToo, and largely stopped worrying about COVID.

It's really too bad but it does seem like partisanship rules almost everything.

But Kennedy could become a much better candidate by coming out against the Gaza conflict. I suspect that he too wants to please his donors.
