Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has the Leftist political and media elites deeply rattled, and that’s utterly delightful.
Imagine this scenario: a wildly unpopular and manifestly incapable president is running, however haltingly, for reelection. Initially he seemed like a lock, but then he encountered an unexpected challenge from a scion of an old American political family, a man who defies all the conventional categorization of political candidates and has set the establishment on its ear by challenging not only the superannuated corruptocrat in the White House but many of that establishment’s most cherished assumptions.
It would make a great novel, but it’s real life, and it’s an exhilarating reminder that America is still a republic, still a place where the elites can be challenged at all, however entrenched they may appear to be. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has not only challenged the elites, he has frightened them to the core, and that’s wonderful to see. The latest indication of how much of a threat they consider him to be comes from the Los Angeles Times, always a reliable organ for far-Left propaganda. The Left Coast Times is so scared of RFK Jr. that on Monday, it proclaimed, “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a threat to your health — and our democracy.”
Now, this is absurd on its face and an insult to the intelligence of the handful of remaining Los Angeles Times readers. The Left has now become so divorced from reality that Times writer Michael Hiltzik would have us believe that a contested Democrat party primary is bad for “our democracy.” But a full-out coronation of Old Joe to serve another four years as the figurehead for the shadowy individuals who are really running things? Why, that would be “our democracy” personified.

I am for the free and open exchange of ideas and opinions.
What are you, some kind of Fascist? /s
These people have dropped all subtlety.
There is a (somewhat) secret bunch of Oligarchs who run the country. Anyone who threatens the rule of the Oligarchs is a “threat to our democracy”. It makes no sense, but it’s what they’re going with.
Republic aside, I love how demoncraps view the majority vote as a threat to democracy.
The primary system has to be allowed to work.
Biden is mentally (and physically) failing and Trump might be going to a federal penitentiary.
Both parties need to allow plausible replacements to emerge.
The Democrats are going to kill another Kennedy.
I’m glad I’m not a Kennedy.
At this point, I fear for Junior. With our corrupt intelligence community that is never held accountable, I tremble when I think that he might suffer the same fate as his father and his uncle.
Should have taught the entire alphabet not just the letter D.
Since Biden won’t (and can’t) debate him Fox News should invite him to the Republican debates. It might be the only way to get ratings if Trump is serious about not showing up
This whole thing sounds really bizarre.
Why is it a threat to “democracy”, if a candidate runs for election in an election campaign? Their view seems like a contradiction in terms.
They believe in “democracy” and “free elections”, but are threatened by a candidate who is running in an election?
isn’t that what elections are all about, that the people will vote for their preferred candidates?
Look at another way, if they think Joe Biden is so great, shouldn’t he cruise to the Democrat nomination in the primaries, if he’s truly the Democrat voter choice?
I’m sure I’m missing something with their view on this.
Why, FOX supports the wannabe dictator.
“threat to your health”
There are thousands here (and many millions throughout the country) that are alive and well despite refusing COVID vaccination.
“Both parties need to allow plausible replacements to emerge.”
Ditto, but Biden can be controlled so he ain’t going nowhere unless he is toes up and that is why RFKjr is scaring the crap out of the typical Dim.
If Trump is penned then the only alternative is DeSantis.
Though he has a few good points. He has mostly left wing ideas
The Democrats know the 2024 turnout will be so pitiful they don’t need poll watchers to even go inside buildings.
Ditto that. Tragedy follows them like an evil spectre.
RE: There are thousands here (and many millions throughout the country) that are alive and well despite refusing COVID vaccination.
Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon, the Australian Open and recently, the French Open POST-COVID while refusing to be Covid vaccinated. Who knows how many more Grand Slams he could have won had he not been banned from playing even in the United States?
I'm not sure 'Leftist' is a correct word, given the Liz Cheneys, Bill Barrs, and Bushies who benefit from 'selecting' who represents 'our democracy'™
