I agree.

However, his candidacy at least seems viable, and I like him more than I like Trump or Biden.

Yes, faint praise indeed.

But he needs to at least champion the principle of free speech over his bizarre, extreme, and unfailing worship of Zionism to retain any support from me.

Sure, but when he decided to go from 'somewhat good' to 'lesser evil' is when I cut the cord on my end. And the zionist shit isn't just about Israel and Palestine. It affects every single policy he's still good on, or rather was, making him worthless on all of them as long as he remains tied to Israel, especially to that extent.

He declared himself to be even more of a zionist than Joe Fucking Biden, all by himself, without any political need for this. In the red flag category, that's a pretty big one.

Given that he's already been cheering on and demanding that colleges censor pro-Palestinian protests, the "free speech champion" ship has already sailed.

He chose this hill to kill his entire campaign on, in every aspect...

Pretty much.

And this boggles my mind because he had seemed like at least a reasonable person on every other issue. I mean, not perfect on many issues, but at least reasonable. I just don't get why he decided to stake out the furthest corner of extreme Zionism instead of just sticking to the garden variety insane Zionism of every other federally elected official save the one all the others censured.

Well... we obviously can't guess what's inside his head, but there is a well-known process/type of organization that is extremely effective at making otherwise rational people suddenly start acting irrationally for no sensible reason.

The very same thing that zionism has been weaponizing from the start by using it as its basis.

As of right now, religious indoctrination is both the simplest and the most fitting explanation for the behavior we've been seeing from him. It's like a trigger was flipped in RFK's head when the Roger Waters smear campaign started and it took over everything else going forward.

Which is a good thing in a sense, because when somebody has a trigger that can instantly turn them from a peace advocate to a genocidal bloodthirsty warmonger, it's better to know it before you start throwing money away to try getting him elected.
