He supports the genocide, same as the duopoly, so deal breaker as well.

Fuck, he sounds like absolute shit

Here ya go:

Anyone following the US presidential race may have noticed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a particularly harsh-sounding voice. The cause is a neurological condition called spasmodic dysphonia.

Spasmodic dysphonia, also known as laryngeal dysphonia, often results in a shaky, tight or strained-sounding voice. It does not affect other functions of the vocal cords, such as laughing, crying or shouting.

It affects about one in every 50,000 people – with women being more prone to it than men. It usually develops between the ages of 30 and 50.

The causes aren’t clear, but one study found that 65% of people with the condition previously had measles or mumps – compared with the US national average of 15%.^[[1] https://theconversation.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr-reveals-why-he-has-a-raspy-voice-spasmodic-dysphonia-explained-227500]

The independent presidential candidate recounts those times somewhat wistfully, telling interviewers that he “can’t stand” the sound of his voice today — sometimes choked, halting and slightly tremulous.

The cause of RFK Jr.’s vocal distress? Spasmodic dysphonia, a rare neurological condition, in which an abnormality in the brain’s neural network results in involuntary spasms of the muscles that open or close the vocal cords.

“I feel sorry for the people who have to listen to me,” Kennedy said in a phone interview with The Times, his voice as strained as it sounds in his public appearances. “My voice doesn’t really get tired. It just sounds terrible. But the injury is neurological, so actually the more I use the voice the stronger it tends to get.”^[[2] https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-04-08/rfk-jr-voice-condition-spasmodic-dysphonia]
