Holy wow. I just read on the BBC that RFK Jnr is considering both Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura for his VP. If I were sat on your political fence these would sway me greatly. How much proof is needed that Robert F. Kennedy would best represent the American people abroad, and in defense, than these two giants of culture. How does this feel to forumites, with regard to voting, especially on the issues most applicable to presidential candidates?

For people unaware of their identities, Rodgers is best known as s player for the Green Bay Packers. Ventura was in one of the greatest films of all time, Predator, as the guy with the hat and chaingun, as well as being a wrestler among others.

I fully endorse RFK Jnr, if running with either of them.

Jesse Ventura was also a professional wrestler.

A vote for RFK is a vote for Trump; he can't win but he will siphon votes away from the democrats

Damn I feel dumb.

Edit: this seems a dumb thing to post in hindsight. I just am interested in the politics, we don’t have set running mates over here, I think.

Not true, someone who's on the fence between Trump and RFK chosing to vote for RFK is most certainly not giving a vote to Trump, they're denying Trump a vote.

RFK has more appeal among the Q-Anon types than Democrats anyways.

Does RFK still have problems with his voice? I remember seeing a video clip of him years ago, vaguely...

I will not vote for any presidential candidate with whom I can not imagine myself running as their vice-president.

If such a ticket would peal away potential Trump voters, I'm all for it. But if it would peal away Republicans who would otherwise be willing to vote for Biden instead of Trump, then I'm not.
