NEW POST - RFK Jr. Is Replicating Bernie Sanders’ Sheepdog Play for MAGA I have come to suspect that RFK Jr. is playing a role similar to that of Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election. Bernie served as a “sheepdog,” using working class populism and “dissident” credentials to herd voters largely disillusioned with the establishment party candidates to vote for one, with the belief being that his endorsement of Clinton would somehow “push her left.” Now, RFK Jr. is using working class populist rhetoric and his Covid dissident credentials to herd voters disillusioned by Trump and Biden-era Covid policies into the Trump fold.
UH is now releasing short blog posts on a separate part of the site, in addition to our traditional focus - long form investigative articles.
