you do realize that even though trump lost there were few congresman and senators that were republican right?
and of course the most famous anti-vaxxer is RFK Jr - a Democrat. Democrats were anti-vaxxers before it was cool. Rand Paul was stupid enough to believe by now fully retracted study about the “link” between vaccines and autism
- scarface_74 2y agoAre you really claiming RFK JR - a Trump supporter and the person Trump wants to be the head of Health and Humam Services to be a mainstream Democrat? But yet you dismiss the then Speaker of the House of Representatives? These are the Republican Governors who fought against vaccines https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/17/governors-covid-vaccine-mandates-approval-516112 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/17/governors-covid-vac...
- bdangubic 2y agoyou do realize RFK Jr was Democratic PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN THIS ELECTION OF 2024? :) you are too funny mate… it was easy to fight the vaccines in late 2021, it just became cool thing politically to rile up MAGA base. all those governors were kissing the top of the needles when that suited them politically
- scarface_74 2y agoHe ran as an independent - not a Democrat. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/09/rfk-jr-announces-he-will-run-as-an-independent-candidate-00120604 https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/09/rfk-jr-announces-he... So now the Republican Governors, the former Republican Speaker of the House who was against vaccines in 2015 were all anti-vax, Trump’s presumptive nominee as the Head of Health and Human Services is anti-vax, but it was the Democrats who are anti-vax? Can you name on Democratic governor, Senator or Representative who railed against Covid vaccines after they were approved in December 2020?
- _heimdall 2y agoRFK Jr ran as a Democrat until the party blocked the primary process and wouldn't let anyone challenge Biden.
- scarface_74 2y agoThere was very much a primary process in the Democratic Party and his stated reason for running as an independent from the article I linked to. “ We declare independence from the cynical elites who betray our hope and who amplify our divisions. And finally, we declare independence from the two political parties.”
- _heimdall 2y agoWhat was this primary process you are referring to? They didn't allow debates, Biden didn't take part, and we ended up with a candidate selected by committee rather than by primary vote.
- scarface_74 2y agoDebates with who? RFK never tried to get on the ballot as a Democrat. You do remember that Trump also didn’t take part in any of the primary debates either?
- _heimdall 2y agoRFK was a primary nominee along with other Democrats that wanted to challenge Biden for the spot. RFK absolutely tried to get on the ballot as a Democrat by registering as a candidate with the party, but he couldn't get on the ballot when the party aligned behind Biden. I do remember that Trump skipped the primaries and I also take issue with that. If the Republican party had any backbone they would have made clear that only candidates taking part in the primary could be on the party's primary ballots. We had a democratic election with two candidates that took no part in primaries. Though not unprecedented in US history, its a huge problem in my book.
