RFK Jr. was always an awkward fit in the Democratic Party, his last name notwithstanding. He is a classical liberal of a mold that doesn’t largely exist anymore within the party ranks.

He is a true idealist with uncompromising principles, in my view, rather than the type of transactional Swamp goblin that currently dominates party leadership. Nor is he a cynical, burn-it-all-down, Western civilization-hating Social Justice™ warrior of the sort that makes up the most rabid and vocal subset of the base. Nor is he a Branch COVIDian — quite the opposite — which has made him the ultimate pariah to the party that is fully compromised by pharmaceutical industry cash.
So Kennedy’s announcement today of his switch to an independent run from the rigged Democrat primary comes as no surprise.
