RFK jr is campaigning for President in his own Party of One, since crucial states lower their bar for parties being added to the ballot in Presidential election years. Might have to run on No Labels in those states he’s left off from. They’ve raised more than Bobby, with neither head nor tail of their ticket. “Two major donors for No Labels have filed a lawsuit claiming that your party, pulled a bait and switch by asking for donations to prep a third-party candidate that has yet to materialize. I mean, you can’t beat somebody with nobody.” Independent voters are the majority, but they’re actually shut out from primaries, with a battle to be listed on presidential ballots.
The only press he can get is speculation about spoiling the betting odds on octogenarian racewalking. Dems are panicking, and pulling out the sharp knives. “Whatever point Robert Kennedy Jr. wants to make, the time for making it is over,” said Michael Starr Hopkins, a Democratic operative and political commentator. “All this bulls**t about third-party runs; RFK Jr.’s vanity project is an embarrassment to his family’s legacy and a danger to voters.”
2024 is a Presidential Election Year for those tuning out corporate newstreams by binge watching Slow Horses. Can’t blame them, it’s Veja Du all over again. Two nag race, or so voters are fed to believe. Difficult to pierce the adamantine bubble of the Echo Chamber. They studiously ignore RFK jr when talking about other choices.
Only Bombs from Zeppelins namedrop him. “Kennedy’s irresponsible, fact-starved statements includes: members of a 1976 House of Representatives committee investigating the assassination of his uncle John F. Kennedy found ‘overwhelming’ evidence that the C.I.A. killed the president; a ‘massive coordinated campaign’ by Republicans deprived John Kerry of the presidency in 2004 by getting rid of 350,000 votes cast for him in Ohio; Dr. Anthony Fauci was part of an ‘historic coup d’état against Western democracy.’ Sounds right to me, but I’m full on facts.
Luckily, their Cyclopean gaze is easily fooled by wool pulled over crafty buggers. Youthful antisemites are running cover for aging antivaxxers. That’s why Bobby has to go Mean Green and Purple People Eaters. Color Revolutions are key to engaging the disengaged.
We’ll need a flag obviously, maybe a flower or fruit, or is that too gay for Americans, like Jimmy Carter’s sweater? Or was it the Giant Jackrabbit? Calling Israel an Apartheid State in 2007 was braver than urging Americans to conserve energy in 1979.
RFK called this notion “absurd” in November, (left off his truly fact free short list).
Paddlin’ up Brer Rabbit’s Creek fleein’ the Tar Baby of anti-semiticism. Made sense, then. Now, half of Americans are aghast at Israel’s bloodlust. Sixty percent of all Democrats strongly disapprove of Old Testament justice in their newsfeed. Supermajorities among younger and thinner skinned voters detest it. Those were Biden’s margin of victory in 2020. He’s been stabbed in the back, but doesn’t have the reach to pull out the knife.
Younger voters are more likely to vote for nobody, than more of the same. Bobbi has not courted this crew, fearful of the antisemitic curse, or Israel’s. He can safely demand the ICJ’s directives be followed this month.
Of course your “vote doesn’t count”, that’s not the point in strategic voting. You’re a drop in a wave of dissent to the exposed oligarchs and oafs, undermining the rubble holding up their house of cards. The rats are fleeing the ship of state.
Retired NIH director, Dr. Francis Collins apologized for not thinkin’ of “collateral damage” to flyover country when they dumped lockdowns from sea to shining sea to protect Inside the Beltway and Coastal Cities. “Public Health People place infinite value to stopping the disease and saving a life. You attach Zero Value to whether this totally disrupts peoples’ lives, ruins the economy and keeps many kids out of school that they never recover from. It’s a Public Health mindset.”
Can’t argue with mindsets. Notoriously impervious to reason, or following actual public health guidelines from the month before Covidiot Fever swept the country. Braver Angels are perturbed that Americans aren’t in a forgiving mood, after Collins showed a little “humility.” No remorse though. even that he acted in concert with Fauci at the NIH to publish a “a quick and devastating take down” of the “fringe” authors of the Great Barrington Declaration in October 2020.
Thousands of public health experts signed on to their real scientific public health measures, including opening schools immediately, (like Cease Fire Now). Collins “stood by” this takedown in 2021, only conceding that mistakes were made as 2023 drew to a close.
When I submitted a zoom question to the “public health” director of our county about doing a cost/benefit analysis of their covid guidelines (based on “guidelines” from Inside the Beltway), he thought it was a good idea, but no resources left. No need to measure benefits. Only costs.
California settled a lawsuit for $2 billion needed to get poor children back up to the subpar speeds they achieved before their school closures and enforced “distance learning.” Turns out there wasn’t any learning, only distance. They are the tortoise, while rich rabbits have caught up to prior failing goals
UCLA education professor Tyrone Howard sparked up, “Adding COVID-19 to the mix was like pouring gasoline on an already dangerous fire, accelerating inequities and damaging student learning.” RFK jr., the Education President. Children’s Academic Health Defender.
Antisemitic, antivaxxer is too broad a target when they’re dropping one ton dumb bombs. That’s a crater 50 meters wide, with half a mile killing zone. Human shields aren’t protective, but protecting children is. Get Smart, use your shoe phone to REACH those screwed by Collins and his ilk.
“Our parents are stepping up in a really powerful way when they join onto lawsuits, when they step up to be paras and educators in schools. So everybody else has got to show up, too.” Lakisha Young, the founder and CEO of Oakland REACH echoed your strategy of Party of One joining the Community Table.
RFK senior saw the Promised Land. “We have to write off the union and the South now and replace them with negroes, blue collar whites and the kids. If we can reconcile those hostile groups, and then add the kids, you can really turn this country around.”
