I see you out there, you independent voter, you. You're not gonna hold your nose and choose between the Republican and the Democrat this November.
You're RFK all the way!
Well, if you're an independent who leans conservative, you might wanna watch this old clip of Mr. Kennedy from 2005.
Some of what Kennedy is saying is true, but it comes with expert-level cherry-picking. For example, the divorce rate in red states is actually higher. Here is a map from Bowling Green State University study:
Looks bad for red states, right?
What about when you consider the fact that people in red states are more likely to get married in the first place?
So if people in blue states simply live with partners out of wedlock, then there's no divorce rate, even if they are switching partners every other month. Those who actually do bother to respect marriage in blue states are people who take it seriously and don't tend to get divorced.
But by looking at the data selectively, a leftist can make a leftist audience feel great by making red states look morally inferior.
(As for crime, well, I wonder what RFK would say these days)
Anyway, just thought you might want to know where this guy is coming from!
