[winewoman]

Here’s the rub, he’s going to draw from all sectors- right, left and independent with this move…..
and he could win ….

Watch a Trump speech in its entirety. Then watch an RFK Jr. speech. Trump spends the majority of his speech bashing his competition and tooting his own horn. Meanwhile, Kennedy is ALL substance and none of the former. #Kennedy24

Kennedy or next President, The best choice.

Newsnation is at the "make fun of him" stage which will quickly turn into the "all out attack" stage as his poll numbers climb - and they will climb...

I'll tell you one thing both Trump and Biden should be worried about. Debating RFK who will skewer both Biden and Trump on the debate stage.

I know RFK Jr. well, and have talked with him *at length* regarding Israel and Palestine. much to say about this for my thumbs here. But, in short, RFK Jr. is not "okay" with how Israel treats the Palestinians, and he knows full well the hell they endure (never mind the unimaginable Hell they are in now while being bombed mercilessly and with no aid coming, nor any way to escape Gaza). His recent tweet and interviews were not in support of Israel attacking Gaza the way it has. It was about developing a sustained military campaign to defend itself from Hamas. It is beyond heartbreaking – appalling what the Palestinians endure from Israel. But what is never mentioned, by folks on the 'left', is that if Israel became completely passive and just lived in their nation without any offensive stance, then their nation would be obliterated. Much of the 'left' in the US don't seem to realize that Israel is completely surrounded by nations who hate them (with hundreds of millions of citizens in those countries) and many of whom (a minority, but still a large and determined number) express freely that they want Israel destroyed. This is the position not because of Israel's brutal occupation (which is obviously brutal and beyond terrible for the innocent people in Palestine), but it is these nations' positions towards Israel anyway – just by being there. It is a fact, that none of the nations surrounding Israel have ever been shy about expressing, and if they had the power to, acting on destroying Israel. And so Israel becomes more and more aggressive, right-wing, hardline, etc. The situation is beyond terrible, but not so simply 'good vs bad' either/or. It is all very complicated, far beyond what my thumbs are saying here. I really do pray for every person suffering through it all.

For those of us paying attention to the RFK Jr. campaign and sharing concern for his position on Israel and Palestine, here's something from his close advisor Charles Eisenstein :

'I remain an adviser to the campaign not because I’m willing to swallow the Palestine disagreement for a greater cause, but because of certain personal qualities I have seen in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that give me confidence that he will change his mind. First is humility, borne of his history of addiction and recovery that has taught him that he is no better nor worse than any other man. With humility comes a willingness to listen and cling less tightly to being right. Second is compassion: he is a very kind man who cares especially for those who have been left out. Third is sympathy for the underdog. He knows firsthand how dominant powers can distort the truth, turn blame onto victims, make criminals out of heros, and marginalize voices of protest. It is only a matter of time, I believe, before he recognizes that pattern in Israel's relations with the Palestinians.'

As we all (should) know, all commercial media in the U.S and both political parties are owned stem to stern, to the nickel, by the very same institutions: the pharmaceutical industry, insurance industry, oil industry, military industrial complex and Wall Street. And all of those are essentially owned by Black Rock, State Street and Vanguard. To distract the people from this realization and its virtually endless ramifications, we are given this embarrassing divide-and-conquer 2-party duopoly whose tactics are a handful of social/cultural issues as a disguise of distinction – a distraction. In other words, the powers that be couldn't care less whether you listen to msnbc or fox news, as long as you're duped by one or the other – as they laugh to the Cayman Islands, while running our nation to the ground and shamelessly and without conscience dividing our people further apart.

I was a big supporter of Bernie in 2015-16 and 19-20. This time around I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In short, random order, here's my reasons for supporting RFK Jr...

-genuinely wants to unite the country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many 'conservative' and 'rural' Americans
-calm, humble, has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself – not a DNC puppet
-not phony
-wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and pull back on and expose the military industrial complex
-wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine problem via good faith negotiations
-wants to get rid of 'Citizens United'
-vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (pharma, banks, oil, military industrial complex)
-vocal about dishonesty and agendas of commercial media
-wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television
-wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc
-wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc
-advocate for civil liberties
-vocally against censorship
-against mandates and police state-like policies
-classic liberal sensibilities with respect of others, without the 'woke' bullsh*t or fake identity politics
-vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping
-passionate about environmental and ecological concerns
-wants to close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue – for many reasons)
-has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent cost down dramatically)
-due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures
-due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government and the policies which ensue

Who is this guy fooling with this craigslist Tucker Carlson impression

[Destiny-btoi]

Mr. Kennedy's speech condition absolutely will turn voters away. When I listen to him speak it's like hearing someone in constant distress, which gives me stress to hear him.
