Raouf Dool@daringfireball literally December, if we’re talking mealy-mouthed: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bernie-sanders-rfk-health-human-services/
Sanders says RFK Jr. "exactly correct" on food issues, has not decided on Trump pick for HHS secretary
The independent Vermont senator also called some of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s views "very wrong."
Delric@raoufdool @daringfireball how/where? stating RFK Jr is correct on how awful highly-processed foods are for us is sound. But also, recognizing RFK Jr is a dangerous lunatic on vaccine and healthcare policy and calling for him to resign is sound. Not mutually exclusive
@delric @daringfireball Look into ultraprocessed foods, trust me it’s just the new bogus Q thing. It may have been a normal talking point at one time but it’s with the chem-trails people now.
@delric @daringfireball And what’s more, saying the child murderer of Samoa has some good ideas is not how you do politics after the 2024 election. Let’s just agree to disagree, you have some centrist dad tendencies like OP, sorry man!
@delric @daringfireball saying you bought RFK cares about health is like saying you thought Elon Musk cares about government waste
FeedMe Doughnuts@daringfireball keep your blog tech related. People are tired of politics everywhere. Thanks.
Ludwig Franzen@feedmd You must be new here. @daringfireball
alex.tm@feedmd Does this ever work out for you, telling strangers what they should and shouldn’t do?
Sören Norrgård@feedmd @daringfireball As a European, I find exhortations to avoid "being political" to often come from Russians. One can understand how that came to be, so I hope we (including the Russians!) can all avoid their fate, soon enough.
Shorter: that's a very political thing to ask for.
Lastly, it’s becoming clearer and clearer to me how few of us can afford to stay away from politics in the coming—uh—moments. So please try to have some empathy with us plebes.
@feedmd @daringfireball Bonus: one great definition of citizenship, by the excellent Engin F. Isin, is: “the right to be political”! (Okay folks, I misremembered: he actually says it’s ”the right to have rights”, — the same in essence, sort of, but I was wrong. Sorry!
But: Being Political is the name of his book!)
If you enjoy understanding—or *need to* understand how things come to be, this is a rabbit hole to consider venturing down.
Sean@feedmd @daringfireball politics involves everything and everyone.
@feedmd @daringfireball how about you fork off, instead? I welcome the politics on DF, because life is politics.
