concha Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 "In an honest system, I believe I would have won the election," Kennedy said. "I am sorry to say that while democracy may still be alive at the grassroots level, it has become little more than a slogan for our political institutions, our media, and our government -- and most of all, for the Democratic Party." "In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it." "The DNC deployed aligned judges to throw me and other candidates off the ballot and to throw President Trump in jail. It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden. Then, when a predictably bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, also without an election. They installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate," Kennedy continued. "My uncle and my father both relished debate. They prided themselves on their capacity to go toe-to-toe with any opponent in the battle over ideas. They would be astonished to learn of a Democratic Party presidential nominee who, like Vice President Harris, has not appeared in a single interview or unscripted encounter with voters for 35 days. This is profoundly undemocratic. How are people to choose when they don't know whom they are choosing, and how must this look to the rest of the world?" "Instead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based on, well, nothing—no policies, no interviews, no debates—only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a highly-produced Chicago circus," he said. "How did the Democratic Party choose a candidate who has never done an interview or a debate during the entire election cycle? We know the answers. They did it by weaponizing government agencies. They did it by abandoning democracy," Kennedy said. "They did it by silencing the opposition and by disenfranchising American voters. What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic Party conducts its internal affairs or runs its candidates. What alarms me is the resort to censorship and media control and the weaponization of federal agencies." "I don’t want any of this to sound like a personal complaint because it is not... but I need to make these observations because I think they are critical for us as citizens and for the preservation of democracy," he said. "We must assess where we are in this country and what our democracy still looks like." "We need to examine the assumptions about U.S. leadership around the globe and ask ourselves: Are we still a role model for democracy, or have we made it a kind of a joke?" He added: "Our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues: censorship, war, and chronic disease. I want everyone to know that I’m not terminating my campaign. I am simply suspending it, not ending it. My name will remain on the ballot in most states. If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris. The same applies in red states. I encourage you to vote for me. And if enough of you do vote for me, and neither of the major party candidates wins 270 electoral votes—which is quite possible, as today shows a potential tie of 269 to 269—I could still conceivably end up in the White House in a contingent election." "But, in about ten battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name, and I have started that process. I urge voters in those states not to vote for me." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slotback Right Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Trump and RFK Jr have both made it clear that they will work together on issues where they agree...only, and go their own way on issues where they don't. It's not a difficult concept. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
