Actress Alicia Silverstone lauds RFK Jr., says she ditched Democratic registration and switched to Independent last year

Actress Alicia Silverstone issued an Instagram post in which she praised Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and noted that last year she had ditched her Democratic registration and switched to Independent.

"Last year, I cancelled my Democratic Party registration and registered as an Independent voter," she wrote. "Like many others, I am deeply disappointed with political leadership at every turn. The division, the lies, the profiteering at the expense of the people and public health. But @robertfkennedyjr gives me hope. This man gets me excited about the potential for truth and justice. He provides hope for young and old to trust our government once again. RFK Jr. is a person we can be inspired and be proud to call President."

"I love his vision of peace, unity, and justice for all. I am uplifted by his commitment to protect civil and worker rights as well as our children’s health. We need leaders who will resolve poverty, pollution, inequality, and stop wars… Bobby is that leader," she asserted. "If you have felt disenfranchised by our government like me, I highly recommend you listening to Bobby speak. I've worked alongside Bobby for children’s health and our environment for 15 plus years. I love me some Bobby!! He is just incredible."

President Joe Biden is running for re-election, but Kennedy and Marianne Williamson are also vying for the Democratic presidential nomination in the party's primary.

On the Republican side of the aisle, former President Donald Trump is the clear frontrunner, but he's facing competition from a field of various GOP candidates.

Americans could end up with a rematch of the 2020 presidential election in 2024 if Biden and former President Donald Trump both secure their respective party's nomination.

If you're talking about RFKjr, maybe. But at present, he seems to be the least nutty/corrupt of the Democrat bunch.
On the Republican side, imho its still dominated by Uniparty types--remember the fight over the speakership? 20 out of the Republican side at least made some strides to make a difference. And although that debt ceiling monstrosity got passed in the House, that number increased.

Where I'm going with this--something is going on, and its going beyond the 'party paradigm'.
Both Trump and RFKjr imho are manifestations of it. The real fight is between a political structure (arguably outside that established by the Constitution) and the people it claims to respresent.
In other words there's not a dime's worth of difference in my book between Biden/Obama and McConnell/Graham. Both 'sides' are serving an interest, and its not the general welfare of the United States.

So, you do support the Castro-rization of Venezuela?
I am sure the Venezuelans will be pleased!

He also wants to put global warming critics in jail.

This is not an endorsement of Bobby Jr.

The value of RFK Jr. is that he’s a wrecking ball aimed at Joe Biden’s campaign. A stalking horse for other candidates who will jump in if RFK Jr. maintains good polling or wins a primary. True, he peddles a lot of “conspiracy theories.” But a stopped clock is right twice a day. In his case, probably more.

The left is severely under-estimating RFK and over-estimating Biden.

Biden is hated by pretty much everyone - even liberals. And RFK has widespread appeal to non-political people just like Trump did. I will not be shocked if he takes out Biden in the primary or severely damages him.

We should be quietly praying for RFKJ to run as an INDEPENDENT.

Nobody in their right mind is going to vote for senile Biden. This is just the first person to abandon him in favor of Bobby Kennedy and she won’t be the last. What will the deep state do to derail Kennedy? As far as I know he’s squeaky clean and they have nothing on him. They’d have no choice but to assassinate him, they’ll probably take his plane down as he travels the country for his campaign. Maybe that will finally wake people up as to what’s happening to this country.

RFK Jr is my 2nd choice after Trump.

Of course, the corrupt Democrat Party Establishment will never let him be elected. A lot of his voters are going to vote for Trump just as some of the Bernie supporters did in 2016.

And the Kennedy’s have always had the “hots” for female Hollowoodies.

Celebrities are the ‘priests’ of the modern era. All knowing and god-like.

The media will destroy RFK Jr- a heroin and sex addict who was cheating on his wife before she eventually hung herself.

He used to work out at my gym and was screwing the married chicks. No doubt the media will invade the gym and interview anyone willing to speak.

He doesn't need to be president, and will never be. He just needs to force dopey Joe to show up for debates so they totally expose and destroy each other.

“RFK Jr is my 2nd choice after Trump.”

Same here. I’m hoping for a Trump vs Kennedy race. That would absolutely throw the deep state into a tither. I actually think they are more afraid of Kennedy than they are Trump and would do even more to keep him out.

Hope she converts a lot more liberals to do the same. Drain votes away from the Dem nominee.

Very similar to Rush’s “Operation Chaos”.
Of course, Kennedy would probably do much better in the general than Biden. He would almost certainly be a better president than we have now.
