Just seems so weird to me, because I think RFK Jr would have a great shot at beating Trump, while I think Harris will probably  lose. 
Kamala is a firmly entrenched part of the establishment and status quo.

RFK Jr is running on a populist economic message. Fighting Wall Street, railing against BlackRock, StateStreet, Big Pharma, ending the forever wars, ending the permanent security/spying state, pardoning Julian Assange & Edward Snowden.

The DNC is a hell-the-fck-no on all that jazz. Which is why they shut him down and shut him out and have tried everything under the sun to smear him in the press.

And I like you believe he would beat Trump. Kamala has very little shot to beat Trump.

What it all tells you is they are more comfortable with Trump in the White House than RFK Jr in the White House, because Trump will still go along with many of the worst policies both parties and both parties mega-donors firmly endorse.

Nah. His stances on vaccines have been incredibly misconstrued. And honestly the VAST majority of the American people don’t give a rats ass about vaccines. They don’t say…man let me vote for this guy or that guy for president based on his stance on….vaccines. 

It’s the economy. Stupid. And his message is an economic populist one. And it’s also likability/favorability- which he’s tops among all there. And then informed voters- which most voters are not- will look at other domestic/foreign policy stances.

You're right. He's pro-measles in addition to being pro-polio. 2 for 1!

Sen. Bob Menendez, the New Jersey Democrat convicted last week in a federal bribery case, will resign his Senate seat effective Aug. 20.

Menendez said last Wednesday that that he would quit the Senate as a result of his criminal conviction, but had not given a date. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, who is also a Democratic, will appoint a senator to fill out the brief remainder of Mendendez.

Menendez was found guilty of all 16 criminal counts on July 17 in Manhattan federal court in a case where he was accused of accepting bribes, which included cash and gold bars, in exchange for taking actions that benefited the governments of Egypt and Qatar.

What happened to your boy Joe? Where's he at by the way? And how'd he get COVID? Didn't he get like 9 COVID vaxes. Weird...thought you can't get it or transmit if you got the shot. That's what he told me anyway. #Misinformation.

Sooooo Kamalala breaking records for campaign funds raised within 48 hours of Biden resigning from his 2024 re-election bid and endorsing her….on Twitter with a written and digitally signed statement no less.

No press conference. No public video broadcast address to the American people or to the nearly 15 million registered democrats who voted for him in the primary.

I am still shocked Joe actually relinquished power of the party. Someone like that doesn’t just give up power- and just days before he was dug in and fighting saying he’s not going anywhere.

Can’t help but seem like this was the obvious plan all along by the mega-donors and DNC elites all in order to insure there was never a true and open primary.

Joe’s ass been senile- everyone knew it. This isn’t exactly a new and breaking development….why was the pressure not brought to bear and put him on him to step down and have open primaries?

My two cents: they didn’t want to have to face RFK Jr and have him bulldoze Kamala, Mayor Buttplug, or Gavin Newsome and hijack the party and take it over the same way in which Trump did the GOP. And make no mistake, Kennedy would’ve. Not sure what the polls are now but back in January when the primaries were going on RFK Jr had the highest favorable rating of any politician running for president AND the lowest unfavorable rating.

Seems like a scam to subvert democracy to me. Nobody wanted Kamala. And nobody gets a say in it now.
I guess the conspiracy is always more fun than the reality.  Just ask RFK Jr.

"conspiracy" is typically something that stupid people who can't think for themselves and can't read between the lines shout because they have nothing else to say because they are well, stupid. congrats, i guess?

there is no conspiracy when it's all out in the open buddy.

As far as RFK Jr and his "conspiracies" well turns out he's right on the money about a couple of big ones....just off the top of my head...

RFK Jr was dead right about COVID. RFK Jr wrote a book tearing Anthony Fauci to shreds- and you know how you know the book is legit- Fauci never tried to sue him for libel over it. Tells you all you need to know right there. The US government and Anthony Fauci lied up and down about COVID from A to Z and tried covering up all their lies- from lying about his reactivation of gain of function research (which President Obama banned) to suppressing the obviously correct assumption that it was of lab leak origin to lying about the efficacy "if you get the shot you can't get it or transmit it!". The COVID vaccines were rushed- it takes a decade plus to create a vaccine- they did one in.....9 months. It was nothing but a boon to giant pharmaceutical corporations which have captured the regulatory agencies in the federal government. That's it. That's all it was. Trying to push it on the entire US population and trying to mandate it never made any sense and was not based on any science. You cannot vaccinate your way out of a pandemic, and the correct response would've been to give the vaccine only to those at extreme risk- the elderly, immune compromised, and obese with comorbidities- you know the obese they/thems with dyed blue hair, diabetes, asthma, and high cholesterol- those types.

RFK Jr also happens to be dead right about the CIA and their involvement in the assassination of his uncle. Anyone who has read/looked into that at all for a second would know that. The fact that Richard Helms headed up the Warren Commission was a major red flag from the word go. Not to mention the fact that files are still classified....61 years later. And neither the Trump nor Biden administration will declassify them....ever.

But....#conspiracytheories!

Breaking news: bastard politicians and/or unelected employees in a bloated obscene despicable federal bureaucracy and the most powerful mega-corporations collude and conspire to f*ck over the average American citizen. Happens every single day. Will happen until the end of the time.

If you know the history of FDR and Joseph Kennedy this is ironic.

I'd say this one is.

Even much of his family doesn't like him, and that's A-OK in my book.
