General Discussion

The voters who can't stand trump anymore have to put their vote somewhere, and God forbid it's for a Democrat. Here, hold my nose while I vote for the non-Democrat who's not trump. And I get it, I'll root for any team playing against the 49ers, even Philly. But I also realize the 49ers don't make policy and shape history.

The only rfk supporter I know is my age, closer to sixty than fifty, reagan/bush guy who listned to limbaugh in the nineties when we were roomates. He voted for trump in rd. #1 as I figured he would, but by the second election, something clicked in the ex-roomie's walk-in brain and he says to me over bbq at his place one day, "trump's just in it for himself." I was floored, but not.

This time, ex-roomie with brain space to let (but a good heart nevertheless) says with the convictions of man trying desperately to convince himself, "With RFK, I can vote my conscience for the first time ever!". So I ask, "what specific parts of his platform are getting your policy-wonk genes all hot and bothered for rfk's run?" He responds, "I need another beer. You want one?" This time around I am floored, no 'but not.'
