It may not be a republic anymore either.

Well he’s a Democrat.

They never can or will get it right.

History education; comments mostly supportive of RFK Jr at the end:

The United States government comprising representation constitutes a Republic which means it governs and responds by preserving the rights of individual citizens as opposed to acceding to tyrants or mobs.

Elections however, are formed as Democratic processes, but carefully so. This original careful formation suffered enormous expansion of harmful Democratic effects through enactment of the 17th Amendment. Democratic processes are harmful when they are deleterious to the rights of individuals and the representation of individuals. History of early Greek states showed that Democracies worked when confined to small regions and populations, but failed when expanded over wide regions as mobs and tyrannical cartels emerged to take control.

Taking out the 17th is not on the current horizon, but opening our minds to its repeal for restoring the nation's governance to a more Republican form of government gives us a sense of strong solutions for the future via Article V to think about, to become aware of, to eventually act on, that ia, should the United States survive its present attempted takedown by CCP aligned Oligarchs and their Marxist foot soldiers.

As for RFK Jr. he has a lot of the JFK and RFK common sense and appeal for traditional working class Americans. He just has it, although he is slightly misguided on some issues. Needless to say, to be recognized within his party, he has had to modify his views and language to avoid recrimination and being outcast. He's already in hot water with his truth exposé of Fauci ("The Real Anthony Fauci"). We can tell he values the truth in many cases, and in those cases where he is truth-challenged, it's not his intent, rather it is from whoever is briefing him.

RFK Jr's misplaced reference to the United States as a "Democracy" is likely related to his entire family history and their place in history as Democratic Party members. It's important to realize that JFK and RFK would be seen as patriots and conservatives today. For RFK Jr. to say "a Coup d-Etat From Which Our Republic Has Never Recovered", although more accurate, would cause recriminations from within his Party and further outcast him. He should say instead "a Coup d-Etat From Which Our Country Has Never Recovered", this would be neutral and true. He's likely in the habit of the former; I would advise him to use more neutral wording.

That said, I see RFK Jr. to be an American whose common sense and decent values should be praised and promoted. He's a good guy, not ready for higher office because his Party is so sick, but as a person, I would welcome him.

His as well as about 90% of idiots since his presidency can call it democracy or republic.

JFK’s sex romps, corruption and cronyism isn’t good for either.

Lots of people liked him, even people here saying he was “the last proper democrat” but I for one - who was not alive during his insult to the flag - will not be swayed.

He was a leftist scumbag. didn’t deserve the office, did few good things for the people between his self-serving and frat-boy party lifestyle.

The president is OUR employee. Not a celebrity, not an iconoclast and not an idol.

I’m saying the same thing for the way people go kookoo for Trump.
