RFK Jr 2024!!!
Our Nation's Forefathers despised political parties and warned of the situation in which we find ourselves today. Robert F. Kennedy should be on all 50 Federal ballots (+DC) along with ATLEAST eight other Presidential Candidates. Federal Ranked Choice Voting with a maximum of three choices insures a proper balance of power for choosing our Executive Branch. This would insure the electorate has options in which they desire to for FOR, rather than simply Party candidates they want to vote AGAINST. No President should be declared a winner without the support of a majority of the population and 270 votes within the electoral college. The two-party duopoly is simply a result of a flawed political system which is admittedly "rigged" from a majority of representatives within that same system. Clearly, RFK, Jr. is the only logical "outside" choice to establish unity and balance in 2024. We need to avert further division and the possibility of escalating civil unrest. Healing America should be the consensus we should all be seeking. RCV NOW!
RFK Jr 2024 🇺🇸
I have never been this passionate about a presidential candidate. RFK 2024!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Same here! He’s our best option by far!
What do you like about him?
@@stacksparrow The health of the American people is one of the biggest issues average people face. I am sick of telling my kids that they can’t have things at the grocery stores
because they contain BHT or dyes. Fix the food and medical systems, and many of the other issues will work themselves out.
Every time I hear The NYT… I know I’ve made the right choice in Kennedy’s campaign.

Me too!!!! The more they try to smear him and misrepresent him, the more enthusiastic I am about his candidacy. Keep up the bad work, NYT!!
@@tobetheanswer Great information! The two party system (which is bullshit)..., has ruined this country, and more importantly it's people. Government policies implemented at a whim, insane inflation, out of control spending with absolutely no accountability, the war machine and military industrial complex, big pharma, and one could go on for days. What we're seeing with Kennedy and the government's illegal and strong-arm efforts to silence and marginalize his candidacy, is reason enough for any American to question their allegiance to either party or their candidates. The time is long overdue for a televised 3 way debate with "all" candidates. How Biden can justify his not publicly debating his actions of his administration over the last 4 years is beyond ludicrous. Trump? Trump's actions publicly speak for themselves, because we all know he's a bully, a loudmouth, a shyster, and a vicious liar. I'm LMAO as each state gives RFK Jr. ballot access, as well as the Biden & Trump machine's efforts to discredit him. Talk about playground antics!
He just got on California ballot
RFK Jr is by far the most intelligent and capable candidate running for president.
I can’t believe the blatant anti democratic sentiment here! Accepting so causally and matter of factly, running a candidate off the ballot is appalling.
Kennedy's Independent Movement is establishing itself as the third leg towards stablizing our Democracy. Our two party duopoly has created an unbalanced corporate stanglehold on the government agencies for the People. Federal Ranked Choice Voting is the only way to insure this capture of public agencies never happens again. RFK, Jr. and Nicole Shanahan are the perfect combination for the Executive leadership of a truly United Democratic Republic. Any other choice will drive us closer to a second Civil War. The Union must survive.
Perhaps The "blatant sentiment here!..." is actually a Blatant Pro-DNC Bias...
Came here to support this concept. I thought it was really funny! When the person wouldn't explain why. RFK had to leave the Democratic party. Because they don't believe in the Democratic process anymore so he had to go independent.
@@markwilson4374 the illusion is wearing thin for many people, thankfully
🇺🇸🇺🇸Kennedy 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸
RFK Jr is not anti-vaccine. Do better, Rebecca.
Don't be bitter. Be better Rebecca. My body. my choice... mandates are ridiculous.
He's pretty close to anti-vaccine. I'm with him a long way on the issue, but I sincerely hope he doesn't get in the way of the process for people who want to take them; but rather he studies them in parallel to their use.
that is exactly his stance, and even if he is "pretty close" the term "anti VAX" is used as a shorthand to slander him as a cook. Its not acceptable journalism.
@@blindfaith8777RFK, Jr. is all about science and first principles. If vaccines are proven safe and effective, he has no problem with vaccines. Unfortunately, it's very clear that our government agencies are funded by the same industries they are supposed to be monitoring. This is NOT THE WAY forward.

#Kennedy24 🇺🇸
Kennedy is the best choice by far this time around.
Kennedy Shanahan 24!
Let’s go RFK!
"Fear this, fear that..." the only ones not scared are the Kennedy supporters
Truth.
Yes what a rush
Kennedy's Independent Movement is establishing itself as the third leg towards stablizing our Democracy. Our two party duopoly has created an unbalanced corporate stanglehold on the government agencies for the People. Federal Ranked Choice Voting is the only way to insure this capture of public agencies never happens again. RFK, Jr. and Nicole Shanahan are the perfect combination for the Executive leadership of a truly United Democratic Republic. Any other choice will drive us closer to a second Civil War. The Union must survive.
I disagree. RFK supporters fear long-term consequences of constantly succumbing to short-term fears. Those long-term consequences are essentially authoritarian policies manufactured by a media-state-corporate merger which RFK has spoken about at length. Everyone is driven by fear, but fear clouds logic when it's focused on short-term preservation rather than long-term preservation. Case in point: "Vote Biden or Trump will end democracy" is a short-term fear without any logical basis. As RFK has stated, we have enduring mechanisms in this nation that will keep Trump or Biden from ending democracy.
I want someone who can bring people together. We can’t heal as a country if 50% of the population hates who is in office. It only continues the broken cycle of Red vs Blue. Time for something new. #kennedy2024 ❤️🇺🇸
Spot on! One of my favorite RFK JR excerpts from his independent candidacy announcement supporting this:
"And because I’m independent of both political parties, I’ll be able to enact bold policies that are outside of the partisan conversation. Let me be clear though, being independent of the two political parties does not mean making them my enemy.
Dogmatic opposition is just as much a form of dependency as dogmatic loyalty. As president, I’m going to work with officials from both parties who want to join me in serving our nation rather than exploiting and searching for partisan political advantage. Every President enters office promising to unite the nation and to work with people from the other party across the aisle.
None of them ever does it. They can’t. They already chosen a side. Well, I’m not going to have that problem. I’m going to build coalitions from both sides of the aisle." - RFK JR
READY FOR KENNEDY 🇺🇸
Rfk Jr 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
President RFK Jr 2024, keep out of our way . He will be our President.
People should watch more videos from Nicole Shanahan. She's someone who cares deeply, with a strong moral compass. Not all her ideas are good, but who can claim to always be right about everything?
Give her a chance to convince you.
It's hard to give an antivaxxer with millions of dollars a chance.
at lesst you can admit you are closed minded, so kudos for that I guess.....@@alifleih
She’s convinced me.
I noticed yesterday she just started a RUclips channel and did a podcast episode with RFK. Looking forward to more!
@@alifleihHe's not anti vaccine. He wants vaccines to be safe before they are given to the public.
Watch the video; 'Who is Bobby Kennedy?'
Yes!!❤
An honest candidate with the skills to unravel the insane mess both the Republicans and Democrats have created. #KennedyShanahan2024 - Plus, he's kind and compassionate - both he and Nicole are.
Kennedy is not the spoiler. You need to get infor instead of acting like sone information authority.
In quick, random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr...
-genuinely wants to unite the country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly
-calm, humble, has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet)
-not phony
-incorruptible, cannot be bought
-thoughtful and introspective
-deeply considers problems and possible solutions
-wants to get rid of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government
-vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (pharma, banks, oil, military industrial complex)
-wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex
-wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine problem via negotiations
-vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media
-wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives)
-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 (will free Snowden and Assange on 'day 1')
-against mandates and police state-like policies
-classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics)
-vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping
-passionate about environmental and ecological concerns
-passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods'
-wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc
-will immediately 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
RFKJr is not a spoiler... you are not enough educated you The Daily... so funny to listen to you! Opinionated ... RFKJr are the best option for US and the whole world! The most profoundly kind and smart man... Trump con man, Biden to sleepy and old!
Continuing to attribute Clinton's loss to Trump solely to Jill Stein overlooks the broader issue that Clinton failed to sway those voters with her policies.
Agreed.
Yes... And Hilary Actually Lost BECAUSE of The ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Jill Stein is NOT The Electoral College 🙂👍
Clinton is irrelevant and she can’t deal with it. The woman is a menace to America! Go Bobby. We need you more than ever!
RFKJ🇺🇸”.. So which am I, right or left? Which are you? Do these labels even make sense anymore, or are they just another way to keep the people divided while the big banks, corporations and billionaires stripmine our wealth?”
Zogby Poll, peeps. 23k over 50 states. KENNEDY IS STRONG!
Stay tuned to Zogby. The only realistic and Independent pollster. Kennedy helps Biden win Virginia and Maine... but, Biden loses either way. Time to step aside Mr. President. LBJ did the right thing. You should too.
The New York Times is a far left rag. I’m thoroughly disgusted my husband still subscribes. Kennedy 2024. Go Bobby, we need you more than ever.
You guys don’t seem to any problem with suppression of democratic challenges. Betraying your authoritarian preferences.
Being anti democratic is fine when it serves the interests of the Left.
As someone who as a veteran, has watched this drama unfold -- and read quite a few of the Times hit pieces against RFK (journalism was not well represented in the vitriol presented as 'facts') --this is the first time I have heard a straightforward piece of reporting from the Times. Bravo! Here are a couple of things the Times and others in the legacy media do not get about his candidacy: many people young and old who do not vote regularly are attracted to his approach that avoids the 'hate and fear' politicking of both parties. And that seems to be the main focus of Biden and Trump... fear, fear, fear (vote for me because the other guy will destroy democracy).... For young people especially, that is unappealing. The other thing that they don't understand is that the DNC attempts to destroy him and his candidacy via Lis Smith and others with the lawfare and legacy media parade of hit pieces, is inevitably going to backfire. It simply cannot work long term for the next six months. They only smear him or ignore him in the Times, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, Vanity Fair, Daily Beast, etc. etc. -- and it is noticeably extreme. The proliferation of hate and vitriol that they exhibit will drive independents and others to actually LISTEN to RFK, to see if he is really the 'crazy lunatic to be hated' narrative they are pushing (it is TDS all over again). And when people actually listen to what he has to say, they generally like him A LOT, and they realize there is a highly orchestrated attempt to block and disparage him. And since they cannot keep him off of the podcasts where HE IS allowed to speak, millions of people in the next six months will be hearing him, appreciating his good points, and voting for him in November. BTW, the documentary about him (blocked by Facebook and Instagram), 'Who is Bobby Kennedy?' that was released a day ago, now has more than 14 million views on X alone. And will get many more in the next few days. If the legacy media was wise, they would let him speak and let democracy have a run, without their attempts at control and manipulation. We will see how it all plays out...
Agreed. But why did you cross through so much of your comment?
They will (or may be forced to) if the alternative becomes Trump.... Problem is the pharma industry has such immense influence on the US mainstream media via either direct ownership and/or by advertising revenues.
@@sookibeulah9331 I didn't cross through anything...one of those weird 'accidents' that happen on TY!
Accident my ass. That was intentional. Rewrite, submit it again, and let’s see. Your points were great!
The legacy media works for the crooks. It's their only job to suppress the truth and push the oligarch narrative. They're doing their jobs being Satan's lap dogs.
THEY OWE US A KENNEDY OR TWO! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
2024 Slogan: "MAKE AMERICA DECENT AGAIN, RFK ALL The Way...! "
RFKJ all the way! 2024 🇺🇲
Go RFK jr!!!
there should be national rules to get on the ballot for a national election. Having different rules in different states is fine for state elections, its dumb for president.
And it should not be so costly.

#kennedy24
Love the VP pick, we need someone who understands tech to battle what's coming. Nicole has the skillset kennedy is missing in his administration. As someone who works in automation and AI, I can tell you not a single person in the white house and congress is qualified to understand or bring the right experts in to fight for the people. All congress/biden/trump would do is bring in their "expert" and get taken advantage of. Not a single person in elected office is able to fact check big tech from drawing up the laws themselves.
Our entire workforce is potentially going to be cut in half for the sake of cutting costs. If you think your job is safe it's not: we're talking nurses, doctors, drivers, delivery, factory, construction, law, real estate, restaurants, etc.
Absolutely. She will also help discover and recruit the next generation of Executive Branch managers and directors with real world experience. She no longer cares about money and can't be bought. It's all about compassion and real ethical capitalism.
Abolish the 2 party system! Now!
18:30 "he's anti-vaccine" No he isn't.

RFK, Jr should be allowed to run and debate. Thank you for shining some light on this situation. Let us hear RFK, Jr on the issues. We have a chance here to make history in a very positive way… a candidate that can UNITE America. We are running out of time, we are living in a very challenging time. Let’s wake up America, before it’s too late!
THIS IS GREAT
RFK all the way!!
Reading the comments I see over-welming support for Bobby - that's odd coming from NYT - Thanks Rebbeca

Sound like democracy?
No. The entire system does not support true Democracy. Federal Ranked Choice Voting is the answer.

Kennedy for president
In my lifetime, the only politician that I have ever been truly excited about is Robert Kennedy Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for President! Enough of the 2 party system! Declare your independence!
Democrats: we need to save democracy 😂
Democrats: we need to keep Bobby off the ballots😅
RFK jr is the only candidate in my opinion thats truly being honest.
The ad on the Super Bowl was not his idea. This commentator did allege that.
As far as the ballot goes. He should have no problem.
I don’t understand what’s happening to the free press. It appears to be captured be someone.
So much for "FREEDOM" & "deMOCKracy" .....
How to isolate your audience 101
He’s pro-vaccine and pro-safety science, not anti-vax.
I 2nd your comment 100 times. So tired of them getting it wrong. ❤
R. f. K. 24
that michigan back story is the best!!!! 😂😂😂 🏆 #RFKjr 24 🇺🇸
The best candidate since 1968
forgot to mention denying secret service protection to RFK.
Go Bobby Go! ❤
I've been disgusted by NYT and their lack of journalistic integrity in covering RFK which made me realize NYT isn't the outlet I thought. And how rude to reduce Shanahan to being a pocketbook. She's incredibly smart and is well versed in AI and has a lot of issues she's passionate about. He on the ballot in Texas toooooo
Why not invite RFK Jr on your podcast and confront him face-to-face on these issues? You might be surprised! If more Democrats knew the true RFK Jr, they would seriously rethink their vote. But the “liberal” media are so captured, they’re not allowed to discover the truth or to convey that truth to their readers/listeners. They are obligated to lie about this man, which is one of the reasons I left the Democratic Party.
And in more important news, Kennedy campaign just announced yet another battleground state to allow ballot access, a whole month ahead of schedule. At this rate, he'll qualify in all 50 states before July! Thank you, Ohio!
Not a big number electoral state , but he just got on the ballot in Oklahoma, too!
I'm going to start a news channel and lie every sentence.Maybe I'll become rich and famous like these people.
bro's adlibs during this entire interview are crazy
RFK JR 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Americans, veterans, Texans for R F Kennedy!
Kennedy is officially on the ballot in five states: battleground Michigan, Utah, Hawaii, Delaware and California.
RFK Jr is not anti vaccine, stop the misinformation!
Smug alert!
Kennedy!!!
Appreciate this reporting. Thank you, NYTimes.
If you live in Florida like I do and you support Kennedy Shanahan 2024 please like
Really thorough treatment of what's going on across RFK Jr's process of working to get on the presidential ballot in all 50 states. Albeit the odds are that RFK is being opportunistic in how and why he is exploiting the flaws in the US two party system; that is, if and when he succeeds on getting on the ballot, the real work of proving he authentically represents something independent of that two party system, needs to begin.
She calls him “anti-vaccine” blatantly false wrap-up smear.
He has already been doing a great job of that. Look at basically any long form interview podcast and listen to it with an open mind (if you can)
@@donkeybus I judge it is fairly inevitable that we each evaluate what we come up against, in a singular manner reflecting our biographical experience. I'm afraid that my experience sees me so anti-Trump, that I cannot see past the imperative of seeing him defeated electorally in November. I'm equally against Biden's policies in support of Israel, which concomitantly are anti-Palestinian and inhumane and damaging to global stability; but that does not displace the imperative to defeat Trump (who would be infinitely worse than Biden on any metric). Again, Biden recognises the need to support Ukraine to see Russia defeated militarily. It's simply the wrong time, and perhaps RFK Jr is perhaps the wrong person, to be dealing with what ails the USA culturally and politically. Keeping my mind open to hear the voice and being of RFK, is intrinsically separate from all of that. When systems have gone wrong, as is currently the case in the USA and elsewhere, I don't look for remedy in a single messianic figure. Rather a reformist zeitgeist has to come about, and that has to come from many individuals.
#Kennedy24
You're certainly not concealing your bias against RFK, Jr. FYi: he didn't select Nicole Shanahan for her money. That comment says more about you than him.
The word "spoiler" is pathetic. You do remember the word "democracy", don't you?
mmHMM
Junk podcast and interviewers.
He’s no democrat
And he ain't no Republican 👍🏼

Thankfully he's not running as one. Sometimes the party leaves YOU.
Whoa....The Kennedy Gangsters are all out in THIS nyt podcast 🙄
😷 ☕ 🇺🇸
So expected that when a famous right-leaning guy runs as an independent he can get plenty of coverage in the NYT despite having almost no ballot access.
Meanwhile, a Harvard doctor with the backing of the fourth largest political party with a progressive agenda and a pathway to 50-state ballot access is treated as if she doesn't exist.
Dr. Stein is, regardless of your politics, every bit as serious and viable of a candidate as RFK Jr and should be given a comparable amount of media coverage.
Are you talking about RFK Jr being "right leaning"?? That's a new one... You might be the only person in the world who thinks that. Also if stein breaks 5% in polls she might get the same treatment, not saying its fair but its not because he's "right leaning" that's laughable.
I stopped reading everything after that statement. It immediately told me this statement is based off emotions rather than based in fact

This would insure the electorate has options in which they desire to for FOR, rather than simply Party candidates they want to vote AGAINST. No President should be declared a winner without the support of a majority of the population and 270 votes within the electoral college. The two-party duopoly is simply a result of a flawed political system which is admittedly "rigged" from a majority of representatives within that same system. Clearly, RFK, Jr. is the only logical "outside" choice to establish unity and balance in 2024. We need to avert further division and the possibility of escalating civil unrest. Healing America should be the consensus we should all be seeking. RCV NOW!
Nothing wrong with right or left. Our Nation's Forefathers despised political parties and warned of the situation in which we find ourselves today. Robert F. Kennedy should be on all 50 Federal ballots (+DC) along with ATLEAST eight other Presidential Candidates. Federal Ranked Choice Voting with a maximum of three choices insures a proper balance of power for choosing our Executive Branch. This would insure the electorate has options in which they desire to for FOR, rather than simply Party candidates they want to vote AGAINST.

The 8th wonder of the world, how someone as smart as rfk can be such a nut case spewing incredibly crazy conspiracy theories anyone with any sense knows cannot possibly be true.
Baaaaaa goes the sheep 🐑 🐏 🐑. Don't stray to far from the DNC group think narrative!
Policy wise, I think financial inequity in the US has been a social nightmare. Of the viable candidates, the only sane, stable person is Biden. The other two are just nuts. In terms of international stability in a complex world, again there is really only one choice for peace and prosperity for the many, and that is President Biden.
Biden was the biggest supporter of the Iraq war, and the crime bill...probably the two biggest fails in recent decades, and now he is the master of the Ukraine debacle. Wow...
You are letting the smearing get to you. Biden has altzheimers, he is as stable as his handlers
That's nonsense, if you understand any basic economics you know how much bidens policies have accelerated growing economic inequality, and RFK Jr is the only one talking about the issue. Open your mind, stop believing the lies, and listen to an unedited long form interview with RFK Jr.
I disagree. Financial inequity starts on the playing field of TRUE CAPITALISM. The Commander-in-Cheif chooses his cabinet and they are vested with ensuring our public agencies work for the People. They do not. They work for large corporations now. RFK, Jr. is the only candidate capable of leveling that playing field for We the PEOPLE. He already has 35+ years with more success than our current President in achieving "financial equity". Think about all the lawsuits he has won for the "little guy". That's the only way to fight when our government is rigged against us. RFK, Jr. and Federal Ranked Choice Voting are the only path forward. Otherwise, the continued escalating divisiveness results in a second Civil War. Captain Kennedy is leading the Union.
Please God! Keep him off the ballot!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
Off the ballet? Has he been working on his ballet?
@@erc9468 I'm here for it. These Bots need to use a spelling AI app.
@@PacoBear Hah!
I believe you meant ballot. Even God can't help your spelling.
Why??? He's the only one who can help the country, and has a far better chance of beating trump than biden. What do you have against democracy?
Vote Jill Stein in November 💚
RFK Jr has a far greater beneficial impact on the environment than Stein ever has or will.
His work cleaning up the Hudson River alone was immense, and he’s used those same skills to support other communities whose environment had been polluted by the toxic waste of big, powerful corporates.
Vote RFK Jr for 🌿🍃🍂🌳🥀🍀🌸🌺🌲🐿️🦝🐻🦔🦊🫎🦬🦋🐝🐍🦆🐞🐟🐠🦅🦎🐌🐛🦐🐳🦞🪱🦫🦨🐜🪰🕷️🦈🦃🦉🐦⬛🦀🐋🦦🕊️
Kennedy is clearly the best leader on the.ballot.
She'll get the pro-palestine protest vote and that's about it
How many times has she run and never yet moved the needle? No thank you.
Jill Stein is getting into riots to scrape up whatever votes she can. Palestine has never been part of the green party's platform don't pretend like they're actually going to help. Kennedy is the real anti war candidate and wants to cut the military budget in half. Kennedy has done more for the environment. If anything Jill can hold his beer while he continues to get things done.
