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.
Okay, I have deep, intense skepticism of any current politician.
No, its not literally bankers and Republicans. All you have to do is look at the Notable member chart to see that. It does have some republicans who have joined which isn’t exactly a surprise since they are 33% of the country. As far as bankers, there was no mention of the word banker in the article so not sure where you’re getting that.
Why are you cursing about an wikipedia article? Is it because you are angry at it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_Party_(United_States)
“On July 27, 2022, the Forward Party announced that it had merged with the Serve America Movement and the Renew America Movement to further its effort to form a new third party named “Forward”.”

“The Serve America Movement (SAM) was a big tent political organization founded in 2017 by Morgan Stanley lawyer Eric Grossman.”

“The Renew America Movement (RAM) was an American political group founded in 2021 by former staffers from Republican Party administrations”
If you give them money you’re just giving Republicans money, full stop. I support RCV but I wouldn’t trust any of these fuckers for a second. Knew that website looked way too slick
Got it. You think anything republican is impure therefore bad. Essentially you think to be good you must not associate with bad people. It is for or against. There is no grey area. You have to meet my purity test of not being a bad person so I can support you.
Sorry, but the world is not black and white. There is a gray area. The reality is that politics to the average person is no different than a rooting for team sport. By advocating for ranked choice voting you seem to be willing to step out of that viewpoint a little, but you still think all republicans are bad.
PS: when you cuss it just lets me know you are dehumanizing the people you are referring to. So I try to somewhat ignore that as I do not support dehumanizing people.
If “purity test” is not supporting the people and party who overtly supported the overthrow of the United States government and continue to do so, then yeah I use purity tests. Also I can curse all I fucking want
The people and party are two different things. There are 50+ million republicans. It is a mistake to assume that they all support what happened on Jan 6.
Most of them are probably just uninformed or misinformed and therefore support their team. Just because some republicans did actively support Jan 6 doesn’t mean they all support it. Mostly, they just chose to ignore headlines because they do not like the cognitive dissonance it causes.
