Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launches unlikely presidential bid as a Democrat

It makes no sense to you and your perspective.

Here is a perspective. The battle states determine who win the President. You want a candidate that does well in the battle states.

 

the amount of energy being devoted to Kennedy is a sign of fear . . . if he were really a nut job, folks would be treating him like Marianne Williamson

 

As cool as clutchfans is, don’t mistake it for a fair representation of American. Nor the tweet-verse.

 

Mainstream news outlets want to end Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s primary challenge

https://nypost.com/2023/06/17/mainstream-news-outlets-want-to-end-rfk-jr-s-primary-challenge/

excerpt:

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his primary challenge to Joe Biden in April, the media shrugged him off as a meme candidate who would soon collide with political reality. Two months later, Kennedy is polling as high as 20% and his campaign is gaining momentum. And the media — unwilling to let Biden be primaried by this pedigreed populist — have decided it’s time to step in.

And step in they have. Over the past weeks, major print and broadcast organizations have laid the foundations for a powerful narrative designed to hobble Kennedy’s campaign before a single vote is cast. The strategy is to disqualify Kennedy by labeling him a font of misinformation, out to serve America’s monied technocrats. In other words: a Republican in Kennedy clothes.

Earlier this month, Kennedy joined Elon Musk for a live Twitter Space, the first ever by a presidential candidate. The response from the fourth estate was instant derision.

The New York Times set the pace with a takedown brimming with accusations and innuendo. From word one, the article didn’t hesitate with its heavy-handedness — accusing Kennedy in its headline of “Pushing Right-Wing Ideas and Misinformation.”

You are such a utter loser seriously. How much money have the DNC pumped into negative RFK ads ??? Why are you so full of ****. The DNC and biden are literally laughing their ass off about RFK. The dnc has hundreds of millions and they havnt spend a dollar attacking rfk.

People live online way too much. In the real world nobody gives a **** about twitter or joe rogan. They're just trying get by in life and support a family.

Bidens focus needs to be getting gas prices down and get inflation to 2%. Nothing else matters.

 

Thank you for the honest and thoughtful reply. I agree with this - that this move was done to help Biden. That, IMO, is a rigging of the primary. I don't think I'm offbase in saying that. Biden's 2020 NH Delegate is saying it explicitly, Clyburn is saying it (and defending it), and though I can't find it now I could have sworn there was an audio clip of a female from the Biden Admin saying the same (maybe I'm just remembering wrong though).

It's also just common sense. IA and NH didn't go as well as they could have for Biden in 2020; SC was where he really came back with force. So it's not insane to think that the DNC wanted their presumptive candidate to be in a strong position at the start of the primary.

There are long-term effects of this change, too. For those who wanted an eventual Buttigieg Presidency, this move makes it much more difficult, if not impossible. In my personal opinion, that's a good thing. But I don't think everyone who supports Biden and the Establishment Dems will be happy about that.

 

You're intelligent and know better than to be posting the bs you post. You're a "professor" yet you literally spin baseless conspiracies. What's wrong with you seriously

@Os Trigonum

 

Always remember when white progressives talk about the "establishment " their talking about old black voters. That's what the "establishment" is to white progressives who spin conspiracies

 

Do you think I give a **** about rogan

 

Harris poll is owned by Mark Penn a MAGA. It's funny how people cling onto polls post 2022 where they were utterly wrong. Polling has been wrong 3 straight elections. Toss it away

Also rfk is only favorable cuz nobody knows who he is. I asked my mom who's a teacher if she likes him and she said yes cuz of his last name. People don't know his politics but respect his name . It's not rocket science
