Eliminating the middle class is one of the communist goals. Looks like this RFK Jr. character might be getting to be a problem. Might have to do something about him.

Well he’s right. Somehow Covid was a danger to spread in mom and pop stores, but Covid certainly couldn’t spread in big chain stores.

That must be true right? How else do you explain Big store chains being allowed to stay open while smaller ones had to close?

RFK would absolutely be the most formidable Democrat Trump could face.

Though a liberal and there are important things I disagree with him about (like gun rights), RFK is sane. He does not hate the country and I think he genuinely cares about the working and middle class. What other Democrat contender can you say that about? Tulsi Gabbard was the last one and they drummed her out.

The Democrat Establishment will never let him get the nomination. They will go miles out of their way to screw him over just like the screwed Bernie over for Hillary.

That will help Trump.

you’re probably right, however I don’t expect him to just roll over and take it like the burn did

Not a new one but the slate wiping should start with motor voter laws.

He has spoken against cronyism and in support of a free market economy. However besides his stance on the environment there is very little out there on how he would deal with other issues.

The voice is due to a medical condition.

“.... He does not hate the country ...”

Debatable!

“... and I think he genuinely cares about the working and middle class. ....”

God spare us from politicians & government caring!!!!
Haven’t we had enough of that? All this “caring” that’s gone on for almost 100 years has put us in this fix!!! The middle & working class will do fine if the government stops ‘helping them’! Get out of their pockets, get out of their local culture and get out of their way!

How about a government that will just leave us alone! How about a government that will stop trying to engineer a utopia, makes us all ‘huggable’, sexy & with minty fresh breath! How about a government that will simply enforce the law enough for a civil society. Enforce the law enough so someone can walk through an urban downtown. How about a government that will tax us enough to do that! How about a government where ambitious self-righteous, self-aggrandizing ego maniacs can’t make a career in it!

Enough of these ‘betters’ trying to help, protect or improve us!

Start with just one: HAVA. As stated by its beneficiaries, it is designed specifically for FOD - Friends of Dodd... for those with political connections to the establishent.

HAVA give FREE MONEY to local election officials ... All they have to do is spend that FREE MONEY on FOD who are vendors/contractors of election hardware and software.

The result is more a thing of incompetence and unaware bias than it is of concious bias.

The going rate for shoveling snow in Mammoth CA, is currently at the rate of $50 an hour. A 30-day stint at 8 hours a day would rack up $12,000 before taxes. It’s a case study in supply versus demand, and furthermore, it’s slim pickings for anyone coming into the town with regards to housing, except for the more traditional options for out-of-towners, the pricey hotels, and motels that seasonal skiers stay in, when on the mountain.

Well, the man is correct, but which policies does he blame and can he change them?

RFKjr can win it all, even with that weird vocal dystonia.

His anti-vaxx stance alone would draw enough swing voters to crush Biden in SC, Nevada, and NH.

Then the question is, does the Deep State make overtures and concessions, or do they status quo like his uncle and his father?

He is a mortal enemy of the Deep State. He has publicly blamed them for the assassinations of his uncle and his father.

He has also spoken out against large corporations and the government being in bed together.

He has also spoken out against Big Pharma.

he has also spoken out against the constant foreign meddling and wars and against our involvement in Ukraine.

He is an environmentalist but seems like he’s more concerned with clean air and clean water rather than the whole Climate Change/Gaia Worship thing.

He is for gun control.

I have some concerns with how intrusive the EPA would be under him. The gun control part is an absolute deal breaker for me. There are a few other positions I disagree with him about but I actually respect him and think he’s basically a decent guy - and not just out to enrich himself or part of an elitist cabal bent on screwing over anyone not in the elitist cabal. He is BY A MILE the best potential nominee (other than Tulsi Gabbard) the Democrats have had in a long time. He harkens back to a Democrat party that used to at least be sane and reasonable even if there were some things to disagree with them about.

For all the above there is no way the Democrat/Deep State establishment will ever allow him to get the nomination. No Way.

Them screwing him over though will push more people into Trump’s camp.

“If RFK somehow gets the nomination, he’ll be a most formidable opponent for the GOP.”

Dems better take him seriously! As for the GOP, I don’t see anyone in the race now that I feel will beat him.

I have to agree with RFK Jr. Can’t believe I’m saying it. Of course, Wall Street helped, too.

His voice is very grating. He would be hard to listen to.

Yes, it is, and I feel sorry for him for that. It’s still hard to listen to him speak for long.
