This week an editorial by Michael Hiltzik in the Los Angeles Times proclaimed Robert F. Kennedy, jr. "a threat to democracy." The son of former US Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, sr. earned this fearful emotion from the left-wing newspaper by daring to challenge President Biden for the Democrat nomination for president in the 2024 election. "We already have a Democrat in the oval office," he said. "There is no need for this disunifying intrusion."
Despite Kennedy's impeccable lineage as a liberal Democrat, Hiltzik doesn't think he deserves an opportunity to run. "If you listen to some of the issues he wants to raise I question whether he is even a Democrat," Hiltzik said. "First off, he is extremely critical of Biden's pandemic policies. He thinks the vaccines are dangerous and should be taken off the market. He opposes the censorship of dissenting opinions that Biden's Administration demanded of the media. On environmental issues he favors using a market-based approach to fighting pollution and mitigating climate change. These are dangerous deviations from the progressive transformation that is currently underway in this country."
A poll of Democrats found that 77% favor debates between Biden and Kennedy--an event that Hiltzik feels "could do irreparable damage to the Democratic brand. The hard won unity we have achieved under Biden is inherently fragmented by debate. This is why no high-profile Democrats have endorsed Kennedy and none attended his speech in New Hampshire this week. The fact that his speech was hosted by the libertarian-leaning Ethan Allen Institute showed that Kennedy is not on the same page as the rest of the Party. This Institute promotes free markets, individual liberty, and constitutional integrity. None of these issues is in the mainstream of the Democratic Party."
In related news, former President Obama dismissed Republican Sen. Tim Scott's presidential candidacy "as inauthentic" because "no genuine black person could ever be a Republican. Those who know American history also know that it is the Democratic Party that has championed the rights and welfare of black people."

Always remember, when a democrat says someone or something is a threat to our democracy, they mean it is a threat to the Democrat Party and Leftists.
“Unity”, when 77% of your own people disagree with what the party is doing???
Obviously not all democrats are completely stupid.
Nailed it, lol!
Thx
