That RFKJr is speaking to Moms For Liberty aka Blond Karens for Fascism, he is automatically DQ'd from any credibility as a Democrat. Treat him as the pariah that he is, not as a serious candidate worthy of any coverage.

I agree 100% - anyone speaking at Moms for Fascism is not a Democrat!

Which is worse? Being propped up by Flynn and Stone or Moms for Liberty 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’d surely kill my self before choosing either

Straw candidate, with a strong resemblance to the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz, complete with GOP flying monkeys and Qanon conspiracies.

He's a dangerous troll, funded supported by the dark lords of psy-ops. He needs to be asked HARD question at every venue he appears.

They are treading a very thin line hoping the Kennedy name alone will reel in the cave dwellers. Talk about political strategy,it’s another losing one by the GQP.

RFK jr. said in an interview I watched, that current spying on us by the govt. (Snowden files) leaves us no where to hide, referring to Jews escaping Germany or Ann Frank hiding in an attic.

RFK Jr running as a Democrat reminds me of David Clarke. He ran for Sheriff in Milwaukee Co as a Democrat knowing he’d get elected on the down ballot. Ended up a spokes person for Trumps super PAC, America First Action.

I've listened to a few interviews of RFK jr. and I'm not quite sure what to make of him. But, he is anti-war, anti-censorship and believes our regulatory agencies are "captured" by the industries that are meant to regulated by them,i.e. FDA, EPA, USDA. He even offers evidence of that capture, or it could be called corruption. He's also an environmentalist lawyer, fighting corporations that pollute. He's a head scratcher.

Anti-Censorship? He's speaking this week at the Moms for Liberty conference which is the extreme right wing organization leading the book ban charge?! He's speaking in between Trump and Ron DeSantis. he's back by Steve Bannon, Roger Stone and Tucker Klansman - do you really need to scratch your head?!

I'm referring to the Twitter Files, which RFK jr. is the only candidate I've heard that acknowledges the censorship reported, esp. by Matt Taibbi. To me, censorship of social media by the govt. is the biggest threat to our democracy. Are we headed down a path that creates a country where the govt. has complete control over media? Such as Russia and China? I hope not, that's not the kind of nation I want to leave behind for my kids and grandkids. BTW, I'm not fond of banning books, but the question arises, when is a book not appropriate for a public school library? I have a hard time with this question.

And you are not troubled that his candidacy is being boosted by Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Tucker Carlson and Michael Flynn? Hard to see any actual Democrat not disgusted with RFK's acceptance of their support and refusal to denounce them. But like Trump I guess RFK sees "good people" on both sides. For the record: I do not! Those people are vile and anyone who refuses to denounce their support is no better. But then again I despise white supremacists and traitors.

First I want to thank you for engaging in a dialogue, even though we don't seem to see eye to eye. That's how things should be, instead of one side hating the other and flinging mud. I do have a question for you. I asked a couple of family members a few weeks ago if they were familiar with the Twitter Files, and both answers were no. I think this is one of the biggest stories in the last decade or two and the media seems to be ignoring it. Some call it a "nothing-burger." I must admit, I'm amazed. I'm an independent, so I don't have an axe to grind, as far as politics go. If govt. censorship continues to grow, and those at the top of our various agencies know they can get away with it, we're headed in a bad direction. So, again I'll ask you, what do you think of the Twitter Files, and have you read any of the reports? Thanks, Jim Perdue.

I don't care for Stone or Bannon. Not sure about Flynn, and Tucker is a mixed bag. What I do care about is our democracy and we're on a path of censorship by our govt. that really worries me. Read the Twitter Files if you haven't already. RFK jr. seems to be the only candidate to take the Twitter Files seriously. The further down this road we go, the harder it's going to be to turn things around.

Not sure about Flynn??

It’s interesting what you choose to concern yourself with.

“Michael Flynn is recruiting an ‘Army of God’ in growing Christian nationalist movement

Politics Oct 7, 2022 12:07 PM EDT

BATAVIA, N.Y. (AP) — By the time the red, white and blue-colored microphone had been switched off, the crowd of 3,000 had listened to hours of invective and grievance.

“We’re under warfare,” one speaker told them. Another said she would “take a bullet for my nation,” while a third insisted, “They hate you because they hate Jesus.” Attendees were told now is the time to “put on the whole armor of God.” Then retired three-star Army general Michael Flynn, the tour’s biggest draw, invited people to be baptized.

Scores of people walked out of the speakers’ tent to three large metal tubs filled with water. While praise music played in the background, one conference-goer after another stepped in. Pastors then lowered them under the surface, welcoming them into their movement in the name of Jesus Christ. One woman wore a T-shirt that read “Army of God.””

His environmentalist buddies have disowned him strongly, like most of his family

If your reply is directed towards me, I'm referring to Robert Kennedy Jr., whose father was killed in 1968.

Dr. Fauci, through Peter Daszak's EHA, funded the corona virus research at Wuhan Virology Lab that most likely caused the pandemic. This is fact. RATG13 and BTCoV4991 being the same genetic sequence was obfuscated. Dr. Baric and Dr. Shi Zhengli are to blame. Still defending Fauci at this point is willing ignorance or propaganda. Spend 20 minutes reading Baric's CV, the rejected EHA grant proposal to DARPA, interviews with Daszak talking about spike protein research on bat corona viruses in 2018, and please wake from your partisan slumber. Just 20 minutes of reading.
