Democrats unite against RFK Jr.

Democrats desperate to see President Biden reelected are calling for more coordinated force against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The independent’s rollout this week of patent lawyer and investor Nicole Shanahan as his vice president prompted Biden allies and liberal groups to escalate efforts against him, fearing his newfound cash flow and ballot access could be disastrous in November.

With a wealthy running mate by Kennedy’s side, Democrats say they should work harder to diminish his chances, insisting they need to spotlight his controversial positions and do whatever they can to make him an electoral afterthought.

“Democrats should use every tool available to them to expose the truth about Kennedy and Shanahan,” said Doug Gordon, a Democratic operative.

“Expose that they have no path to the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win,” Gordon said.

“Expose the fact that both Kennedy and Shanahan have peddled conspiracy theories for years. Expose the fact that their run is helping [former President] Trump return to the White House,” he added.

Others pointed to the 2016 election, when Green Party candidate Jill Stein took votes away from Hillary Clinton, contributing to the Democratic nominee’s loss.

When the democrats get to November the FJB vote will be the hate vote that democrats cultivate each election. They never have someone to vote for just against.RFK will do very well.

Exposing RFK Jr’s record will only move more lefties to his column and bolster his chances, demonstrating he’s a better D than Biden, and just how out of touch Biden is...

...while also distancing many Indies who were flirting with RFK over Trump.

RFK shares a couple of positions with conservatives (1-Ds are slimes & 2-forced COVID vaccines were malfeasant) but little else.

The more than Democrats whine about RFK Jr. the more it exposes how their “democracy” claims are a fraud.

They hate actual debate and actual competition.

The Democrats think they own the country and everybody else is just trespassing.

LOL. Jr. advocates almost all dim positions. I’m not sure highlighting his few stands against them is wise.

Open democracy and mob rule are great until the mob comes for you.

coordinated force against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Sounds like they're threatening him. And Secret Service protection has been denied -- because who would want to hurt a Kennedy?

One thing I notice about Democrats, the solution to their problems is NEVER to let the voters know how and why their policies are better than the alternative. It’s always about destroying the alternative.

And they can never defend their positions, they just insult their opponents.

I can think of 3 major ones right off the bat. Everything Covid/vaccine related. Everything Trump’s border security. Against the war in Ukraine.

RFK Jr. needs to go hard left against Israel and strong for the pro Palestinian vote. Happy Easter.

That is what the VP is for. :) She’ll be talking about climate change and criminal justice issues as well.
