      The old Bernie that I supported in 2016 and 2020 would be calling out Biden for not giving us M4A under the national emergency clause of the the Social Security Act or passing it when he had BOTH houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration.. THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
      Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS instead of calling him out for an economy that is drowning the lower and middle classes while it enriches the elites. That is what Bidenomics has done. Trump hit us in the first round and then Biden came in and took another big swing at us. They both work for the duopoly..
      KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
      The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.
      It is the DNC that forced KENNEDY to run as an independent because they reject the traditional values that KENNEDY is running on.. The values of FDR, JRK and RFK Sr are no longer the values of the Blue party. It has sold itself to the elites and become one side of the duopoly that keeps the 99% of us being bilked by the 1%.
      I am voting for the once in a lifetime candidate who can break the duopoly, who will free the 99% of us from being enslaved by the 1%. KENNEDY's support is MUCH higher than what the polls are reflecting. And whatever you do, do not believe anything the mainstream media says about him. With a fair and open mind, hear him out in his own words, unedited in his longform interviews on independent channels and the short videos on individual topics on his own channel. For an overview what his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. We need to end the forever wars, end the corporate capture of our government agencies, end the chronic disease epidemic, make the American dream of affording a home a reality again, tackle addiction, clean up our food supply and protect our environment, and protect our Constitutional rights. There is nothing to lose by hearing him out and everything to gain.
      It's time to break the stranglehold of the uniparty and restore our government to one that works for the people. Millions of voters including former Dems, Repubs and Libertarians, along with Independents, Greens, never-voters and voters who have stayed home for decades are turning out to support RFK Jr. These are people like me who will NOT vote for Biden or Trump. For us it's RFK Jr or bust. Please join us.

    This is funny for us here in Denmark to listen to. The whole worker union thing we accomplished 100 years ago. In many instances we in Denmark look to the United States for inspiration, but when it comes to decent wages for workers, The United States is like 100 years behind...
    Thats the price of unregulated capitalism. However inequality is rising here as well. So maybe in a couple of years, the poor in Denmark will be starving too.

    I am an independent or more accurately a swing voter. I value the idea behind unions and the power they bring to negotiate pay and benefits, however, it hasnt escaped my notice that people PAY dues to be represented by the union. With a Congress mandated pay raise, you don't need the union. I think that its Congress's responsibility to pass a new minimum wage thats far higher than the current one. Elizabeth M.

    I was a big supporter of Bernie in 2015-16 and 19-20, and I worked on both those campaigns. This time around I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In quick, random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr...
    -genuinely wants to heal the 'culture war' divide in our 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
    -vocal about the corruption 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)
    -will send the necessary Asylum Judges to the border to expedite the process for legal migrants
    -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 costs 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
    *I wrote the list above many months before Oct 7, 2023. I should add, especially directed towards my brothers and sisters of the populist 'left' and populist 'right', 'progressives', 'libertarians', and people who are just antiwar, in general...
    -RFK Jr. is in support of Israel (as am I). However, this in *no* way means he isn't also in support of helping the innocent people within Gaza. RFK Jr. has always been very aware of the conditions for the people within Gaza, and is especially aware of, and feels deep heartache for, the Hell they are living in now. As President, he is a person who would do all he could to help seek lasting peace and prosperity for all in the region
    -although RFK Jr. is a supporter of Israel, he is not a fan of Netanyahu, and has said repeatedly that he would *not* be writing him a blank check with American dollars to do with as he wishes
    -there is no one who would fight harder or more tirelessly to reach out to everyone involved, as well as to leaders outside of the region, to try to negotiate and implement a sustainable peaceful solution for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. RFK Jr. would bring many ideas and a commitment to approaching the problem there from several different angles, and involving several other players. In fact, he would have been doing this before Oct. 7. (Simply yelling 'apartheid', 'genocide', etc is *not* in service of an actual *solution* - ask Hamas)
    -and unlike anyone from the 2 major parties who supports Israel, RFK Jr. would never be lead by the corrupt (and disgusting) sheer financial interests of the Military Industrial Complex when it comes to *any* of America's foreign policy; including with Israel

      @@MrfuckinBeilke I am a critical thinker who is mad at seeing the duopoly force two horrible candidates on the voters.
      Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with? Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump? The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
      If the DNC had not rigged the primaries and stolen those elections Trump would not even be in the picture.
      Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
      What they did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that the DNC passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states. That is NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
      The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. They will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the Repub candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE. KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment.
