RFK Jr.'s 2024 POTUS campaign

[CaptUSA]

If you are in a real swing state that has demonstrated it can go either way, your vote may matter, especially if your state election is not run by a Democrat. If the election is run by a Democrat, I'll need evidence to believe your state elections, when run by a Democrat, can go Republican.

People have trouble with this. It's a hard little gray area to find.

We could take our little deer hunting rifles and exterminate the Deep State, or at least drive them off these shores. There are plenty of us, enough to do it. Yes, they want totalitarianism, but they want us to ask for it. They want us to beg for it.

Thus Hegel writ large. Import Hispanic gang members and import them to cities to combat black gangs, and when the whites start shooting just to create some peace and quiet, the psyop moves in for checkmate.

They're bending back the spring in the mousetrap by threatening productive type people. But like any totalitarian regime, it's the useless eaters they really want to cull.

Big problem, ugly reaction, and the only question about the solution is, what flavor will they give us. Or, we change to a different game.

I don't think Kennedy is running for the office of Big Brother. Trump is. Breaking the two party myth is step one. We don't take our country back without doing that.

I likewise don't think that Kennedy is running for the office of Big Brother, and Trump in fact is.

Putting my anarchist practices aside, I can agree with you. To me, the two-party myth [duopoly] is far more dangerous than any immigrant or groups of immigrants, even if immigrants are being used as costly pawns. We can't, and never will, ever take this country back, certainly not to the point of fiscally responsible individualism, when republicans by their very nature are far more hypocritical than the democrat counterpart. Both sides are huge, huge spenders, and are completely willing to sacrifice any sense of freedom and individualism in favor of bigger, more intrusive government - each for their own selfish causes.

If the republicans actually stood by and on liberty/freedom/fiscal principles, the problems that we are facing would be drastically reduced, even taking into account the immense number of non-republicans. But as it is, as shown by the blind support for Trump, and the proposed "solutions" that they are screaming to implement, it makes no difference whether "invaders" come into the country or not. Immigrants are simply used as pawns to spur and speed up the republicans inner desires.

So, to your last 2 sentences [Breaking the two party myth is step one. We don't take our country back without doing that.], the question becomes, how in Clown-World can that ever be accomplished?

Meantime, I won't step foot inside of a ballot box. I simply refuse to be complicit.

If reports are true—and, in that regard, the website name www.kennedyshanahan.com was reportedly registered by one of his campaign operatives on March 13—Mr. Kennedy has chosen attorney Nicole Shanahan as his running mate.

I find this bizarre, to say the least, not to mention disappointing.

Whatever his intentions, such a ticket would drive this country even further apart because Ms. Shanahan is a self-described “progressive.” But that’s only the tip of a disturbing iceberg I will get to in a minute.

Let’s start with this. Mr. Kennedy, of all people, should know that the basic requirement for a vice presidential candidate, now more than ever, is that a person be qualified to assume the presidency at a moment’s notice.

We have had disasters in that regard, dodging several bullets, including vice presidents Spiro Agnew, Mike Pence, and (for now, holding one’s breath) Kamala Harris.

Mr. Trump has made clear that qualification for the presidency is now his first consideration, as it should be.

What do we know of Ms. Shanahan?

Not much, except that she is a philanthropist to largely progressive causes and that she is very rich.

She reportedly helped pay for Mr. Kennedy’s Super Bowl ad to the tune of $4 million via a Super PAC. The ad got mixed reviews and ended up with the candidate apologizing to his family

How rich Ms. Shanahan really is is unclear, but it is clear the bulk of her money comes from her divorce from Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google and, depending on the source, the ninth richest man on the planet.

RFK Jr’s campaign had been luffing and needed a boost. He looked to the financial. It’s hard to blame him, because that’s the putrid state of American politics. But if you’re trying to run an honest broker campaign against corrupt traditional parties, it’s not the best approach. It’s actually a turn-off.

This is rather sad because of the optimism and excitement he initially engendered.

It was said that much of RFK Jr’s appeal was with the more libertarian right, not the increasingly leftist Democrats. I thought that was accurate. I would imagine that unfortunately those days are over if the nomination of the “progressive” Ms. Shanahan is real. Who will RFK Jr. appeal to now?

Of course the candidate is not confirming this nomination until March 26. We shall see.

Good, perhaps. Should pull some support from the potato.

Kennedy says Hamas is to blame for Gaza’s destruction for failing to embrace a two-state solution and for firing thousands of missiles into Israeli cities like Tel Aviv.

“Any other nation that was adjacent to a neighboring nation that was bombing it with rockets, sending commandos over to murder its citizens, pledging itself to murder every person in that nation and annihilate it, would go and level it with aerial bombardment,” Kennedy says.

“But Israel is a moral nation. So it didn’t do that. Instead, it built an Iron Dome to protect itself so it would not have to go into Gaza.”

He says Hamas gave Israeli leaders no choice after Palestinian terrorists stormed into Israel on October 7, killing some 1,200 people and capturing 253 hostages.

Kennedy adds that he thinks a US president should be contacting leaders from Russia, Turkey and Egypt to put an end to Hamas.

Yep. Not good. But another one of those areas where he is bad and the other potentials are worse.

 

[Snowball]

It won't be Nicole Shanahan. That is ridiculous.

Israel is like warm gum stuck on your shoe that you can't get rid of. Other than the commies in the Squad, the vast majority of politicians seem to support them. I don't think it's just the Israel lobby influence, either, but that they actually support Israel and think every American has some obligation to do so, as well.

He picked her, didn't he?

Oakland? Violent California shithole Oakland? He must be ready to pick her, then. She probably lives in the Bay Area. Sounds like he's playing to the progressive California tech crowd.

Absolute bunk.
RFK wants to lock people up for being "climate deniers" among many other things that are worse even than what Brandon has dared so far.

You have deliberately confused the RINO politicians with the Republican voters and choose to ignore that the latter are throwing out the former with MAGA.
And things are as bad as they are because a ridiculous number of immigrants have been used to prop up big government and infect the political culture since the 1840s.

That confirms he will pick her to me.

Confused and ignore? Nope, I'm spot on. But at least you got the second part of your sentence correct.

Which is why the likes Massie (libertarian-anarchist), Rand (R-libertarian), and even Ron Paul 3-times-running will never run the oval office. It was MAGA Trump himself who wanted to throw Tom Massie out of the Republican party. It's true, there's even proof.

Instead, the Republican voters [MAGA!] keep voting for the likes of Mike Kelly, Bob Aderholt, Stephanie Bice, John Boozman and other Republicans. You should look their records up. Pretty sickening, if you ask me.

And things are as bad as they are because a ridiculous number of immigrants have been used to prop up big government and infect the political culture since the 1840s.

There are those tv shows on every now and again that talk about how the federal reserve was orchestrated, even before 1913, and prior to that how they forced a central constitution upon the people. Maybe they should have put a cage around those Europeans (your people) who did all of those nasty things.

I think, if I'm not mistaken, that he was talking about holding repeat offenders accountable, who continuously pollute and contaminate drinking water supplies and poisoning the people.

Do you think that those repeat abusers should skate? Or would just a little slap on the wrist suffice, even after doing it again?

You know what the answer's going to be.

That confirms he will pick her to me.

why? Because we don't agree on how awesome or meh Trump's 4 years were?

is this how you behave with people in real life?

It wouldn't surprise me. He needs cash, she has cash.

BUNK, those are not MAGA candidates.

Maybe they should have put a cage around those Europeans (your people) who did all of those nasty things.

And the white hatred peeks out from behind the mask again.
You are just raving now.
It was the European derived Americans who set up a system without the Fed and who fought for the BoR in the Constitution when the deliberately too weak Articles of Confederation were replaced.

This isn't about Europeans as a race (that's what you are trying to twist it into), this is about Heritage American liberty culture vs. anti-liberty immigrants of many races.
And all the anti-liberty people should most certainly have been put in cages and thrown out of the country.
We didn't throw out enough Tories after the Revolution and we let too many immigrants from anti-liberty cultures in over the years since.

You can try to keep your anarchist cover but it was blown long ago and you just keep making it more obvious that your real agenda is antifa, or the destruction of America and liberty.

Bunk.
He was talking about people who opposed climate propaganda with free speech.
