The last guy I voted for was John Kerry. I am definitely voting for RFK Junior, also I will be donating to his campaign, something I’ve never done for any president. In truth, he’s the only political figure that I have felt strongly about in my lifetime. don’t believe the huge mass media effort to discredit Bobby Kennedy, they are trying to create the illusion that he doesn’t have a huge following; he actually does.

[@eldalopez3566]

Thank you! You’re right, he does have a huge following.

Yea John Kerry was the first politician I ever voted for, and he ran a not so great campaign against Bush.

Plus his running mate John Edwards was a terrible person, that cheated on his wife who was dying of cancer!

@doreeneclose the DNC rigged the primaries in 2016 and got away with it so there wasnt anything stopping them from doing so again in 2020.. only they took it a step further (thanks to convid which the research for creating it was funded by certain Democrats during Obama's last year of presidency).. and they are trying again to do the same in this election as well. ..hence the reason the biden administration openned the border the way they did (the amount of electorals/representatives a state has depends on the cenus poll/population of each state regardless if they are legal or not. sancturary states tend to lean democrat.. plus some of those states are trying to make it to where illegal immegrants can vote in local elections which then have an effect on national elections in due course) if we don't get bobby in office, we might never have another fair election again.

I looked up the interview and Kennedy's response to Steele was " Even if is full term I don't think it is ever ok. I think we have to leave it to women rather than the state." So you all and many others are saying things that Kennedy never said. The above quote was his answer to Steele. Kennedy believes every abortion is tragic and has said so many times. If Trump is ok with abortion up to a certain amount of weeks to win elections that is not ok either and should be called on it. I thought Trump was ProLife and now he negotiates on it.

[@grantwalkersound]

RFK's view on abortion is likely closer to how he originally spoke of it... Which was essentially that it was a non-issue for the president because the odds of getting anything passed with this congress was impossible. However he said if they did get something passed to protect a woman's right to an abortion then he would support it. So yes, he doesn't have a strong stance and honestly I think he's kind of right. The odds of anything passing is slim to none. For now at least, it seems like it will be a more important topic to consider for state level politicians and judges.

People put so much time and energy into the abortion topic, our country is a fucking mess, who cares what the details are about what he believes, he said at the end of the day abortion should be left up to the woman and he would like to put things in place to help women who feel like an abortion is their best or only option

[@RemnTheteth]

40% of the country, more than Republicans or Democrats, identify as Independent, and that number is increasing by the day. Because voting within this paradigm is not only ideological vagrancy, but gets us nowhere. We get the same corporate-run, anti-democratic toxin either way. This senator's take is nonsense. RFK is not perfect, and I'd appreciate some clarity on some of his views. But his ideas about government, and uniting people across ideologies are far from crazy. He's the most cogent speaker on what is wrong in our democracy, and the things he wants to do will obliterate the duopoly of control between the two parties. That's why both sides are afraid of him, because on issues that effect Americans, he not only rises above the political divide, he understands the divide is manufactured to keep us in line, and afraid. This man has spent his life fighting corruption, fighting for the environment - and I would challenge anyone who thinks ill of him to actually read his website, and listen to what he has to say on corporate control and the lack of accountability - and how to fix it. He actually has solutions, versus the two candidates that just appeal to, basically, business as usual and a ideological base that doesn't do any research. a "platform" of policies means you simply adopt what the party says, and never think for yourself. Well, I'd challenge anyone on the left or the right to prove me wrong. Most people couldn't defend 95% of their beliefs on policy, because their belief was provided for them. Group think. We need change, and RFK understands what needs to get done.

[@jennieodonnell6099]

Hi, I appreciate the sensible, and non aggressive, non name calling way you approach real discussion. Thanks for that. What RFK originally said about abortion was- he would not put restrictions on it, believing that no one would go for a late term abortion anyway. When I watched him say that...... Although I knew his intentions were to embody the spirit of freedom of choice that is God-given, and outlined in our declaration of independence..... I knew, that I know people do, and will seek late-term abortions if permitted. He did not realize/believe any person would do that so late in a pregnancy. He later amended his stance, when he was shown information ,- people actually will go for late-term abortions if it is not written somewhere in the law. So he addressed this again, stating- no late term abortions. I like this about him. He is willing to listen, look at facts, and take a more informed view of an issue.
