I am 52 years old and have unenthusiastically voted for candidates from both parties. Finally, I am excited to vote for this candidate. I have donated to his campaign and will be voting for RFK, Jr 2024!

We’re not republican or democrat, we’re independent Americans and we support Kennedy!

[karenwiggins]

Kennedys change to independent is just great. Now, I have someone to vote for. Down with Republicans and Democrats.

RFK Jr has my vote! Do it for Uncle John!

[DebiB]

GOOD!! I hope RFK running as independent president WILL pull voters from the Rep. party and Dem. Parties!! We need a new way of running this country!! If he runs he has my vote. I am beyond sick of how America is heading for destruction! We need someone who cares about the people!

RFK's move will not help either party. Lets be clear here. People are sick of the corrupt 2 party system. Who gives a damn what happens to the establishment parties? I don't. Do you not know they only answer to corporate America? It's time they answer to us.

independent voters tired being lied to. Just want some honesty in government.

Parties are for parties; not the people or the USA.

[quietdon]

They weren’t fair to him. They shouldn’t have shut him out. Let the people decide.

[helenatroyana]

KENNEDY believes in the truth and transparency!

[awakenacres]

I think it’s great! We finally have someone with integrity to vote for. Go RFK Jr!❤🌎☮️

If one takes the time to listen directly to RFJ Jr and not the analysts- it wont take long to breathe a sigh of relief, for an actual public servant with a real track record of helping children and families harmed, by big corporations.

"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle, or great intelligence. Yet it is one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change." Robert F. Kennedy

He is not in support of anti-vax programs. He is in support of vax programs if the vax's are "safe".

It’s time America. Let’s go independent. Most of us are anyways.
