    This is probably the best news that could come out of the RFK Jr. spoiler campaign. His VP pick has 0% name recognition and is a wealthy tech industry executive, which a class of people that most Americans despise.

      There are four names I’ve heard he might or did pick, there are at least two that are surprised me because I figured Jesse the Body, while not by any means a perfect man is a kinda ok but very gullible dude with some sense and empathy who seems to at least mean well(pro lgbtq rights and implemented public transport for Minneapolis while he was governor) would say naw, and I am 100% sure Killer Mike told him to fuck himself.

      Out of the other two, one is a batshit stupid generational athlete who I hated before he opened his stupid fucking mouth, and this lady, a complete nobody.

      What is the through line tying them together? It can’t just be offbeat outsiders because Jesse is a matter of fact a politician as he’s held office, and Killer Mike isn’t stupid like Rogers last I checked, and his final pick means that name recognition couldn’t have been the most important factor in deciding. This is just a bizarre choice.

      I know he’s a crazy idiot I just want some logic

      Edit: shit Tila Tequila would make more sense given everything else about his candidacy
