Anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce Monday that he will drop his Democratic bid for president and run as an independent or third-party candidate, adding a new wrinkle to a 2024 race currently heading toward a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Kennedy’s campaign has teased the announcement in the days leading up to a Monday afternoon speech in Philadelphia. In a recent video, Kennedy said there is corruption “in the leadership of both political parties” and said he wants to “rewrite the assumptions and change the habits of American politics.”
The video came shortly after Mediaite reported he planned to launch an independent bid.
Maybe we can somehow convince the right that voting for him will somehow take votes from Biden.
That should be easy. His name is Kennedy and he was running democrat. And a large portion of republicans vote based on buzz words.
“He was originally running to get the nomination in the Democrat party” (shibboleth intentional) should help
OK, what does that mean “Democrat Party?” I know it’s supposed to be jibe against Democrats, but I never understood it.
It’s supposed to deny calling them democratic
Yep. In the same breath, they also insist that “America is not a democracy, it’s a republic”, as if [a] that’s a meaningful argument, [b] it’s even true, and [c] it matters in the first place if they’re using that dumb “democrat party” dig anyway. Meanwhile, the shit they’ve been proposing would make America neither a democracy nor a republic.
No such party. People like Newt (the man who worked harder than almost anyone to divide this country) really ran with it to purposefully irritate those that know better.
Since donnie is dumber than dirt, he said as much out loud, in front of his idiot base, too.
