Kennedy Jr. for president and predicted that he'll win the race for the White House. Dorsey's prediction skills probably need some work, given President Joe Biden's incumbency and dominance within the party; perhaps Dorsey's sense of what's possible has been distorted by how much time he spends in weird corners of the internet as an entrepreneur and crypto advocate. But at the same time, his unusual position in American culture is precisely what makes his endorsement interesting. Why does he like Kennedy so much? Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist and a descendant of one of the most influential dynasties in American politics, is running for president as a Democrat. Some of his views make him sound like a typical progressive populist, such as his talk about addressing wealth inequality and supporting organized labor. But he's also very much at odds with the mainstream of the party on many issues, from his opposition to vaccines to his abject distrust in state bureaucracy to his dovish position on the war in Ukraine.   This is a preview of Zeeshan Aleem's latest article.
