The stance puts Kennedy — who’s mounting long shot bid to unseat President Joe Biden as the Democratic standard bearer in 2024 — out of step with most of his party.

He’s being bankrolled by a republican donor. I have no idea who this guy is appeals to.
Republicans are hoping his name will split the Democratic vote.
Republicans think that Democratic voters are as stupid as Republican voters.
I hope they’re wrong. They’re wrong, right? … :-\
Also, how is a Republican running as a Democrat? Is it just me thinking there’s a glaring flaw in the US’s political mechanics? Y’know, just the one. Nothing else wrong there. …Other than seemingly literally everything, with exactly zero hope of any meaningful change no matter what goes wrong nor how wrong it goes. sigh
With this announcement on his stance on abortion, I think that idea is out the window.
I dunno. It didn’t seem to hamper Henry Cuellar.
Henry Cuellar’s success in his district in the deep south of Texas isn’t indicative of anything at all on a national level.
It indicates that party leadership will abandon any principle to shut out progressives.
No, it doesn’t. Democrats in red states have a much higher likelihood of being closer to Republicans stances in order to get elected.
It’s so nice that the national party has to step in to save us from ourselves. Otherwise we might elect a progressive instead of the anti-choice candidate they prefer.
Is it your belief that Joe Biden is “anti-choice?”
Because he is 100% the pick of the Dem Party
Down voters apparently aren’t aware that the national Democratic party will back an anti choice candidate in order to prevent a progressive from taking the seat.
Or they all like anti-choice candidates.
The funny thing is that he’s mostly going to get Republican votes if he runs third-party.
Meanwhile I think he’s more likely to siphon Republican votes than Democratic votes if he were to run third party.
GOP religious elites trying to move the Overton window on social matters.
First time I’ve ever heard of the Overton window. Kind of picked it up with context but if anyone feels like doing further reading
One of today’s lucky 10,000
But I’m 35… According to this I should’ve learned about it 5 years ago, what’s wrong with me? Am I an abomination?
I don’t know, do you look like this?
I saw a rare “kennedy 2024” bumper stick out in the desert. the jeep also had an infowars sticker and a large “pure blooded” window decal. he appeals to the disinformed conspiracy brained moron demographic
The world is so insane now that I don’t know if they meant ‘pure blooded’ because they’re a racist or ‘pure blooded’ because they’re an anti-vaxxer or both.

Don’t encourage vandalism and potential attempted murder
The assumption that damage to property implies potential murder says a lot about you.
Disillusioned “open minded” republicans like my brother for one. He was telling me that Dems should run him to appeal to anti-Trump Republicans to prevent Trump from winning. He’s a pretty smart guy who somehow got convinced that JAQing off is a good basis for philosophical thought and denies that he has any firm beliefs and is open to anything that he thinks sounds convincing.
That’s not the humblebrag he thinks it is; he’s saying he has no character. People who stand for nothing will fall for anything.
My guess is that he says it just to keep his personal beliefs from being assailable and being challenged. He can ask questions of others to try and make points and insulate himself. 
Conspiracy theorists.
