This news was overshadowed by the pandemonium occurring in the Middle East. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he will run as an Independent candidate and is no longer aligned with the Democratic Party. The Democrats have prevented Kennedy from speaking and have offered absolutely no support. In fact, they have been trying to silence him since he first appeared on the scene. They refuse to hold debates as they need the current senile puppet to stay in power.

Look at the video above for a small preview of how the media covers RFK Jr. They have hurled every insult in the book at him — a Republican plant intended to stop Joe Biden, a conspiracy theorist spreading dangerous misinformation, anti-vaxxer, and even an anti-semite. In the video below, Kennedy explains why he does not need to align with the Democrats on EVERY issue. Leaders should have original thoughts and solutions, but today we have politicians who blindly vote for the status quo. He explains how the Democratic Party has lost all of its original values and his initial intention was to restore it to the party he once knew.

RFK Jr. believes that the American people need independence from the two-party system. He plainly called the system rigged and said it has turned “government officials into indentured servants for their corporate bosses.” Look how polarized the left and right has become in recent years. There is no bipartisanship in government to the point that America’s entire credit score has been undermined since shutdowns are now inevitable. The shift has spilled over from politics into our communities; America has truly become a divided nation.

Super Pac American Values 2024 donated $11.28 million to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a day after his announcement. Elon Musk has provided Kennedy with a platform to speak in the past, and many are questioning if he will begin openly promoting the candidate. Musk has Soros levels of power and influence, and there is no billionaire akin to Soros supporting the middle or right.

Don’t hold your breath for an election next November. The globalists will do everything in their power to keep Biden in office, which means we cannot have a fair election because no one in their right mind wants four more years of this nonsense. They won’t need to collect votes from dead registered Democrats or miscalculate mail-in ballots because of the excuse of ongoing wars. Hopefully, Kennedy can at least open some eyes to the rigged system in America and show how our politicians have polarized the people.

In his own words two weeks ago, RFK Jr. admitted, “if he ran as an independent, he would hurt Trump more than Biden,” therefore he announced today he is running as an independent.  Stopping Donald Trump is the priority.  Despite the pontifications to the contrary, RFK Jr’s status in the race is secondary.

The best thing anyone can do to disrupt his effort is simply to share his leftist, big government, policy proposals.

(Associated Press) – Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he is dropping his Democratic bid for president and re-entering the 2024 race for the White House as an independent.

Kennedy, an heir to the storied political family, said Monday he would no longer be running as a Democratic candidate, instead opting to leave the party to pursue an independent bid for president.

“I’m here to declare myself an independent candidate for president of the United States,” he told a crowd of supporters in Philadelphia. “But that’s not all − I’m here to join you in making a new Declaration of Independence for our entire nation.”

[…]  When Kennedy was running as a Democratic candidate, skeptics said his platform crossed the political spectrum, ranging from that of a “Kennedy Democrat” to issues that resonate with the right and could potentially pull voters away from Trump.

The now-independent candidate struggled to label himself when USA TODAY asked him where he falls on the political spectrum earlier this year.

“I think the party definitions are so topsy-turvy right now, I wouldn’t know how to describe myself,” he told USA TODAY. “I would describe myself as a liberal Democrat, which means I’m for civil liberties, I’m against war, I’m against corporate domination, I’m against censorship. But I don’t know now − those are kind of Republican issues now, strangely.”

And Kennedy has made an effort to reach to the right. He is scheduled to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Las Vegas later this month, alongside other Republican figures.  

Kennedy told USA TODAY earlier this year part of his campaign strategy is to reach all supporters − even those registered to the opposite party. He found endorsements and airtime with celebrities including Comedian Rob Schneider, NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, actress Alicia Silverstone, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and the ultra-conservative InfoWars host Alex Jones.  

Joe Rogan, a talk show host who has been critical of the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines and hosted Kennedy on his show to discuss vaccines. Kennedy in June participated with Elon Musk in a Twitter Space. (read more)
