    The Very Online Campaign of Robert F. Kennedy

    Bobby Kennedy continues his tireless campaign. 'Up in the hills of Los Angeles, in a house studded with family memorabilia, the scion of the Kennedy clan and Democrat presidential candidate has been expounding for 90 minutes on everything from Latin American populism to the CIA, from cryptocurrency to the war in Ukraine. His phone is pinging with messages from politicians and Twitter celebrities, and he needs to jump on a flight to Las Vegas, where he’ll address a tech convention. But Kennedy waves off his wife, actor Cheryl Hines, as she pops into the living room to remind him he still needs to pack. He wants to talk about how people are finally listening to him. “I am constantly surprised by it,” Kennedy says of the attention to his long-shot campaign. “It’s just very weird.”'

    HE'S IN IT, TO WIN IT!

    'Weird is one word for Kennedy’s bid, which has won support from figures as disparate as Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, quarterback Aaron Rodgers, actor Alicia Silverstone, and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. It’s a guerrilla operation staffed by longtime friends and colleagues from Kennedy’s many previous lives—as an environmental lawyer, prolific author, master falconer, Hollywood husband, and anti-vaccine crusader. So far, the candidate has spent more time chatting on podcasts and livestreams than visiting with voters. Instead of dropping in on New Hampshire coffee shops, he’s given a speech at a Miami Bitcoin conference, appeared on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk, and is slated to be interviewed on June 14 on Joe Rogan’s wildly popular podcast.'

    FINALLY, A DEMOCRAT WHO LOVES AMERICAN AND LOVES AMERICANS! So the woke anti-American cult views Bobby Kennedy as a traitor, when actually, he's the opposite of a traitor.

    More striking is the optimism that reminds one of the campaigns of his father and uncle. Kennedy looks forward to a nation with clean water, pharmaceutical companies that do not harm children, bioweapons not escaping labs with millions dying while the governments are lying, with a government that can be trusted to act with integrity, while focused on securing our rights.

    “I want to restore in many ways the America of my youth, the America I was brought up in.”

    We all want that, and we can do that, personnel is policy. Please discuss.

    Democrat Party Panics Over RFK Jr. Primary Challenge.

    [​IMG]

    'The Democrat Party has yet to find a solution to its RFK problem. The party’s initial impulse, as it always is with any uncomfortable figure outside of the establishment, was to ignore him. But he’s doing too well in polling and finding too much of an outlet in grassroots media to effectively sideline through silence alone.'

    'So they moved on to predictable smears about him being an “anti-vaxxer,” conspiracy theorist, “fringe” candidate, “vanity” candidate, etc. Failing that, drawing from the “bigot” well,'

    He's fully committed to equality. The 'racist' claim is a bald faced lie.

    So with that failing, now they are trying to divide his marriage. The lying fake news 'media is trying out a new line of attack: targeting his popular Hollywood-favored actress wife to divide his marriage and potentially recruit her to the opposition.'

    '“Democrats are growing concerned that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s profile is rising.'

    'Kennedy, who launched a primary bid against Biden this spring, is doing unexpectedly well in some polls and receiving increasing media attention as a result. He has also been on a press tour this week that included a Twitter Spaces discussion with Elon Musk and digital town hall with journalist Michael Smerconish.'

    Kennedy's relatively decent poll numbers, as well as his media-ready image as an heir to the famous political dynasty, have caused some to worry he could gain steam and potentially distract from the task of re electing Biden in 2024…'

    'Kennedy has indeed stirred up some untapped anger within his own party; Democrats have seen him rise to double digits in several recent polls…'



    'Also, the entire corporate state media employing the common dual strategy of ignoring and smearing piques my interest. If they hate what he has to say so much, I want to listen. Even if you don’t support him and never will, it’s worth exploring why the things he says are considered so “dangerous” by the corporate state power structure.'

    IF YOU’RE INCONVENIENT TO THE NARRATIVE, YOU GET SUPPRESSED AND/OR DEFAMED: Tucker on Twitter Episode 6: The Suppression of Bobby Kennedy

    'Ep. 6 Bobby Kennedy is winning'

    Many folks that don't agree with Kennedy still would 'generally prefer to see his views aired out and refuted rather than being suppressed.'

    But, that's not the way a lot of the Left rolls.

    [​IMG]

    How many of 'the news publications that are smearing and trying to discredit RFK are paid for and “sponsored by Pfizer”"?

    'RFK lifts a finger in the establishments eye.'

    The coward 'Hotez has been on a tweeting frenzy, vigorously labeling anyone who disagrees with him as "conspiracy theorists." Yet, in a stunning twist of irony, he remains utterly perplexed about why he's not winning any popularity contests. it seems the only conspiracy here is the one he's woven around himself...'

    So I take it you’ll be voting for a Democrat this cycle along with Tucker and Alex.

    RFK Jr.: No Time in History Where Censors Were the Good Guys



    "I don't think it's consistent with the people I knew who were on the front lines during in the civil rights movement that's not the outcome," Kennedy said. "Also, the issue of censorship was completely liberals had such antipathy towards any kind of censorship. There was no time in history where the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys."

    Im pretty much there. Still waiting to hear if Kennedy supports an AWB or not. Barring that, i'll happily vote for a real Dem finally.

    My state has open primaries and I'm torn between voting against Trump or voting against Biden.

    I think he is the best thing to ever emerge from the democrat swamp lands. I've read almost everything on his campaign site and sure there are some things that I didn't like but a few things really stood out to me, THIS being one of them
    A Kennedy administration will go beyond making existing modalities available to all, to include low-cost alternative and holistic therapies that have been marginalized in a pharma-dominated system. We will move from a sick care system to a wellness society.

    He certainly does seem to have a better shot that Biden does at winning a general election, by winning over more Republicans and independents.
