I don't really know much about him except that everyone seems to hate him too.

Unrelated ramble: This election reminds me of the leadup to the election that Ventura won in Minnesota with 2 guys everyone hated leaving it ripe for a weird third party to win. I don't suspect RFK could pull it off, because I think Ventura's celebrity and centrism was an important part of that formula.

Fantastic is a very strong word but about as good as can be expected for a democrat yeah

The uber/lyft minimum wage bill and carving out the Mayo Clinic from the hospital staffing bill both rankled me as extremely blatant examples of caving to corporate demands at the first sign of pushback, and worse, the uber/lyft set the precedent for Frey in Minneapolis to do the same thing, proving that uber can just extort the whole state and is effectively above the law.
