How RFK Jr. could decide the 2024 election

[@Xaasrevile]

I am a non-voter. I only voted one time in the democrat primary for Bernie Sanders but never before or after. This time, its Robert's turn.

[@ioda006]

Bernie effectively won both the 2016 and 2020 Democratic primary. The DNC screwed him over both times and he said next to nothing about it. Same is going to happen to RFK - there are tons of barriers in place to prevent independents and 3rd parties from qualifying for ballot access, among other things. I share your enthusiasm for RFK, but the rules put in place by the two party system make it extremely difficult for anyone, RFK included, to make it. Ross Perot is the only real third party candidate to achieve 50 state ballot access and it's because he was a billionaire.
Widespread recognition and reform of these duopolistic practices is more important than any amount of enthusiasm or optimism.

It’s Robert time

[@clayskelton9557]

I voted Sanders(Stein in general) -> Trump -> Kennedy I’m playin frogger

[@tehbakedpotato]

I participated in the Democratic caucus in 2016 in a small precinct, and one of the leading people overseeing the process was an anxious wreck, sweating bullets, and repeatedly slithering off to a phone out of sight. The DNC is absolutely compromised and manipulated. Ended up voting "none of the above" in the primary that year.

[@presence5426]

@@ioda006 But Sanders didn't win either time, "effectively" or otherwise. Sure, the Democratic bigwigs are going to try & help a Hillary or Biden. But the fact is, voters in Iowa, South Carolina, elsewhere in the South, in the Midwest, and in states like NY are too establishment. They voted Hillary, then Buttigeig/etc/Biden. Sanders was not able to flip enough voters- that was the #1 factor in his loss both times.

I am a young democrat voter. I have done more than enough due diligence and research on Bobby Kennedy. During this I have found that he is the only candidate talking about issues that are important to regular Americans. He has ideas and is passionate about giving young people like myself the opportunity to buy an affordable home, he wants to restore the middle class, he cares about the chronic disease epidemic that is killing more Americans than any terrorist attack. I have 2 college degrees in health science and human kinesiology, he is the only candidate that cites peer reviewed scientific evidence to support his claims, he can reference the constitution and geo political history. This is the first time in my young voting career I am excited to vote for someone that stands for the American people not the corrupt corporations that have overtaken our government regulations for benefit of their profits. If you haven’t actually listened to him yet please I encourage you to give him a chance before you just listen to the mainstream media narrative that calls him a “anti vaccine” or “conspiracy theorist”

[@user-by1kx1px5g]

You must have researched another Kennedy. Because this RFK jr is a despicable man with no integrity or honesty or most of all morals. He was a alcoholic druggie who cheated on all three of his wives. He cheated on Emily his first wife with Mary his second wife. He proposed to Mary only because she was pregnant. Emily passed he got married to Mary, cheated on her almost 40 times, because his disgusting sexual activity she turned to drugs and alcohol. He wanted Mary to have threesomes. He kept journals and diaries of all of his sexual encounters. He actually told Mary she would be better off dead. She called him and asked him to take care of he said she doesn't want help. The next day she hung herself. He met cheryl Hines got engaged and he cheated on her. He was instrumental in getting his cousin's murder conviction overturned Michael Skakel who beat his fifteenth year old girlfriend to death with a golf club and masterbated on her while she was dying, another pervert just like RFK jr. He accomplished this because of his family name, power and money. The entire Kennedy family were despicable people. Bootlegger s, mafia members, womanizers, war mongers, murderers, hypocrites, rapists, union busters, sexual perverts.

-calm, humble, has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet)

-thoughtful and introspective and deeply considers problems and solutions
-wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the military industrial complex
-wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine problem via negotiations
-wants to get rid of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money into government
-vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (pharma, banks, oil, military industrial complex)
-vocal about dishonesty and agendas of commercial media
-wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television
-wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc
-wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc
-advocate for civil liberties
-vocally against censorship
-against mandates and police state-like policies
-classic liberal sensibilities with respect of others, without the 'woke' craziness or fake identity politics
-vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping
-passionate about environmental and ecological concerns
-wants to close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue - for many reasons)
-has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent cost down dramatically)
-due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures
-due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government (and the policies which ensue)

I would be happy with Trump vs RFK, finally some proper choices. My furious side wants Trump and REVENGE for all the shit the elites have been forcing upon us, just so see them going down in flames. My pragmatic side likes RFK for a more nuanced set of goals..

I personally don’t feel trump has the moral and ethical foundations that are necessary for the role of president. RFK is the best choice when compared to any other candidate

The presidential debates alone will solidly RFK and give him a huge boost. That will be his first time in front of the eyes of the CNN/MSNBC types who have as of yet still only heard propaganda about Kennedy.
That on the stage with the mad man and sleepy joe will be a wake up call.

Since 2016 we have had strange elections? Is this guy too young to remember the hanging chad in 2000? RFK no matter what is a Democrat. If the Democratic Party had done an honest primary he wouldn’t have done an independent run. These poll guys never take into consideration that people saw the party’s actions and that is driving people to RFK. He has my vote and I will be signing the petition to put him on the ballot in my state.

RFK Jr needs to start a new Party. I think he could develop a Party platform that would bring in Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Not a middle of the road approach, but take the best of both sides that the majority of American will support. He already says it in speeches and talks, just create the Party to support it.

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the rationale discussion and analysis, that UnHerd provides, so thank you. As for the presidential race, I'm voting for Bobby Kennedy even though I have a STRONG disagreement with him on the Israeli/Palestinian situation, but I genuinely believe he would be good for America in general.

[@garyhundt]

2nd your appreciation of Unheard and your Strong disagreement on that issue, but as well see RKjr misinformed on the vaccination issue. I'll be going for West or Stein, and will look for the sum of the third party votes to exceed those of either of the corrupted two.

[@sookibeulah9331]

⁠@@garyhundtthe sum of the third party votes won’t mean a damn thing. They could, combined, get more votes but, since they aren’t combined, nor is there a transferable vote system in place, it would still mean a duopoly party President. Unless Stein or West have a realistic chance in wining then voting for them will simply continue the status quo.

[@garyhundt]

@@sookibeulah9331 Of course. But voting least-worst concedes status quo, while voting outside that cage could at least demonstrate resistance. Admittedly, organized work in each state to formally register write in candidates or place parties on the ballots, or more ambitious campaigns to implement ranked choice or reform electoral college system would be needed for more lasting change, but those can also be corrupted which I think is the root problem currently, along with apathy. For now, I'd be happy to see even more independent choices, so current non voters may be moved to vote for their particular ideal, and thereby demonstrate that the duopoly is the minority.

[@elizabethpeacock9054]

We've got a year to get this done and with the trajectory we're on, it should happen. The signature obtaining to get him on the ballots in every state is a concern because I believe there is controlled opposition volunteering in the campaign. I'm concerned signatures will "disappear" or are disqualified because of technicalities. Make sure your signature counts! Know who you gave your signature to and maybe take a photo of the form.

[@1colorguru]

You're correct. It's the same election over and over. The uniparty has to go. I predict RFK Jr will wind up winning by a pretty decent margin.

[@roboatnick6178]

I’m tired of the debate about whether RFK is “taking” more votes away from Biden or Trump. There are people who wouldn’t vote for either major party candidate. Pollsters may be underestimating how fed up many of us are with the two-party system.

The Republic is dependent on the electoral college. Civics education has been dropped in many school districts for years therefore many don’t know how our system should work.

[@Sphere723]

The system was designed assuming electors would be chosen for their wisdom, and they would convene in Washington to thoughtfully deliberate and choose a President with the runner up becoming vice president. Basically like a secular College of Cardinals.
It worked like that for exactly one election. It quickly devolved into something very different, where electors were pointless placeholders selected by the political parties which quickly started dominating politics.
The way the electoral college works was largely an accident and unforseen by those who wrote the Constitution.

[@timpeters3039]

@@Sphere723 Not exactly. The states with smaller populations were (rightfully) afraid that they would lose all voice in a national election as candidates would only have to get a large majority of a few of the major cities to win the election. Like the Senate compromise. Without the Senate being the representatives of the States and the Electoral College, the smaller states would have never ratified the Constitution. It would be absolutely asinine for smaller states to change the system. There'd be no reason for a Presidential Candidate to ever even visit half the states if that happened.

[@unclestinky6388]

The analyst said that it doesn't make sense that nominating token black people hasn't helped Brandon. Maybe the average black person cares less about Kamala Harris' career and more about their own prosperity. Nominating Harris and Jackson has helped only Harris and Jackson
