????? How about doing a story about how food shelves and food banks really work?
A lot of people, even food shelf workers, mistakenly believe that large corporations kindly donate their products to food shelves (via the big regional food banks like Second Harvest for redistribution to local food shelves) out of the goodness of their hearts. In reality, what happens is that the Farm Bill provides for an "enhanced" fed tax credit equal to cost + 50% of retail value for items "donated" to food banks. This form of tax credit means the corporate food suppliers actually are getting paid (just like the former child tax credits issued checks) amounts that are probably pretty close to what they would get by selling their products to retailers. The bonus for these corporations is that this is a profitable way to unload products that do not sell and that are close to the sell-by date or even significantly beyond the sell-by date.
Some corporations even package products specifically to go to food banks which are heavily processed and filled with cheap unhealthy ingredients no one would choose from a grocery store shelf.
Because corporations in this country have a mandate to increase shareholder wealth above all else, unless these companies are actually making a profit from "donating" products, they could actually be sued by their own shareholders. That is why they make sure that every "donation" benefits their bottom line and that is why food shelves are full of unhealthy, heavily processed products with inferior ingredients that contribute to chronic health problems like diabetes, obesity and heart disease, and many are also past their sell-by dates.
Let's stop pretending these corporate food giants are being nice to the food insecure and expose that they are making money off of the most vulnerable members of our population. As an example take a look at the fabulous new Second Harvest food bank building in Mpls that has Cargill logos all over it. The fact that they control these food banks is obvious and they are controlling them because it is profitable for them.
We need accountability from the Farm Bill. Make it work for people and small farms, not food conglomerates and factory farm corporations. Stop the siphoning of tax dollars into unhealthy foods with high profit margins that translate into cheap, unhealthy ingredients that add to the chronic disease epidemic. If the enhanced tax credits are going to continue, at least limit them to products that meet minimum nutrition and safety guidelines.

I love when this sort of thing gets revealed.

As an example take a look at the fabulous new Second Harvest food bank building in the Mpls suburb, Brooklyn Center (" A guided tour of Second Harvest Heartland's new Brooklyn Park facility" on YT) that has Cargill, General Mills and Target logos all over it, despite the fact that the MN taxpayers spent over $18 million on this. The fact that these corporations control these food banks is obvious and they are controlling them because it is profitiable for them. Second Harvest makes it sound like there is a lot of fresh wholesome food, but that is NOT the case; it's almost ALL unhealthy processed food. It is NOT the case that over 60% of their product assortment is fresh (lean protein and produce), as they claim.
The other catch is that these food bank packages are NOT forwarded to local food shelves free of charge; they have to pay huge delivery fees and the lightest weight, cheapest foods to get delivered are processed foods.
The public has a right to know what is really going on with this scheme.
At the very least, the government should not be giving these enhanced tax credits unless the products meet health and freshness guidelines.

Great report. This is one of the absolute best channels on YT, hands down.

I'm sure there is a lot more to this scheme than what I have found out and it needs to be covered by real investigative journalists. Please do a story on this.

I was disappointed at first, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party and is also an independent. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she acquired it against all odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a very successful entrepreneur in AI. She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

RFK Jr just turned 70, not 80. That's his chronological age measured in years. There is also such as thing as a real age that is measured in terms of cardiovascular health, muscle mass, body fat etc that reflects a person's level of fitness, their stamina and their mental acuity as well. On on of the real scores, RFK JR would put most 20 years olds to shame. He is the optimal combination of intelligence, physical fitness, experience, relatability, compassion, tenacity and temperament for President of the United States.

P.S. I think Ventura would be the ideal Secretary of Defense.

RFK JR has repeatedly and clearly stated that he is not going to take anyone's guns away, PERIOD! He went even further, explaining that from a personal standpoint, he has lived in rural areas and understands the cultural attachment people have to their firearms and how upsetting it would be for many people to see those rights infringed upon. Even more importantly, as an attorney and patriot, he unequivocally supports the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He is not going to do anything to undermine anyone's constitutional rights, especially their Second Amendment rights.
Secondly, your statement about the funding of his campaign is also false. Kennedy has some of the same donors as Trump, NOT Biden! The interests backing Biden are doing everything they can to smear and undermine Kennedy's campaign because he is an even bigger threat to them than Trump; KENNEDY really will drain the swamp instead of expand it like Trump did.
Thirdly, the Kennedy name recognition does not come from any brother of RFK Jr; it comes from his father and uncle.
You really need to inform yourself, at least on some minor points, before you comment because everything you said discredits you.

Everyone knows that the I/P issue is a tragedy for all involved and there are no easy answers to a conflict as complicated and ongoing as this one. I do not agree with RFK Jr either on this but he has called out Netanyahu and he has said he would handle the situation much differently than the current administration.
Kennedy has absolutely no power at this point to do anything for anyone and by coming out strong against I he would be throwing his campaign away because of the strength of their lobby. And it would all be for nothing; it would not help a single P. It is what he will do AFTER he is elected that matters and he wants an end to war and suffering around the world. He is absolutely the best candidate to handle this.
And he is the ONLY viable candidate who is calling out the suffering and deaths of Americans due to homelessness, food insecurity, addiction, crime, poisons in our food and soil which are killing Americans with chronic disease, hopelessness and despair. Without discounting the suffering of P's, my first concern is my fellow Americans because it is to this country that I pledged my allegiance every single day in school.
Please do not limit your support to a single issue and throw away our chance to have a president who will truly fight for the PEOPLE. He is still the strongest force for humanity we have and our once in a lifetime chance to break free of the duopoly. We will not get this chance again. It's now or never.
I recall his quote, of one of the Founding Fathers, " Sink or swim, live or die, I am with my country."

Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people
.If the DNC had not rigged the primaries and stolen those elections Trump would not even be in the picture.
Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states.
Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. That is NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE.
KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment. Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. The polls were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s just the duopoly’s propaganda.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil They know the tired game of voting based on fear has to end.
Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves , their children and the world. That candidate is ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

I was disappointed at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE. I think the ideology that is ruining Oakland and SF is left ideology not progressivism. Saying someone is progressive is simply saying that person is for the people before corporations.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). A person has to have good problem solving skills to become that successful. She sold her company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel. I hope you will give her a chance.

I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and it breaks my heart to see him groveling for votes for his so-called friend. Bernie is Biden's friend but it does not go both ways.
Where was all this working together when Bernie wanted to advance M4A and student loan forgiveness???? Biden only comes around when he wants Bernie to stump for him. Biden has known about these problems all along. He promised to raise the minimum wage and offer a public option. What happened to those promises? He had BOTH houses of Congress the first two years to pass any legislation he wanted. If Biden had done anything for the PEOPLE, instead of the elites, he wouldn't need to have Bernie stumping for him.
If Biden believed in democracy he would not have let the Dem party rig the primaries against Bernie (TWICE) and then against RFK Jr.
And when it comes to fairness for workers, Biden totally screwed the railroad workers.
I am fed up with voting for the lesser of two evils because it's lesser and it's evil. Telling people to vote blue out of FEAR is playing right into the hands of the the corrupt duopoly that has kept this country in a stranglehold for decades.
The DNC rigged the primary so that it would be impossible for RFK JR to win and the reason they did it is because he wanted to restore the Dem party to the values of FDR, JFK and his father, and that's the last thing the DNC wants. None of those great leaders would even recognize the Dem party of today that has sold out to the elites and turned its back on the working people of America. American's can't afford homes, they can't afford healthcare, or groceries. 60% of Americans have at least one chronic illness. When JFK was in office that number was 6%. What has Biden done about it? He won't even talk about the real issues plaguing this country and killing the middle class, or about ending the forever wars. Those are the issues RFK JR IS talking about and offering solutions for. He is the only one who cares enough to put his life on the line and run independent to represent the PEOPLE instead of the elites.
The only one who will get my vote will be the candidate who has EARNED it and that is RFK JR. Don't believe anything you hear about him on mainstream media. Go to his channel with a fair and open mind and hear him out, unedited, in his own words. Especially listen to his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. Listen and decide for yourself. You have nothing to lose.

I have read through the comments in this thread and I am pretty strongly aligned with your values but honestly I cannot see how you hold those stances and come up with Trump.
When it comes to being a noninterventionist,, RFK Jr is the most noninterventionist candidate of the three viable candidates while Trump has unabashedly proclaimed that he wants Venezuela's oil (because he is a tool of Big Oil) and is very unpredictable and cagey about what he might and might not do. Conversely, RFK Jr has denounced every war and interventionist action by the US since WWII. With respect to Gaza, it's a wash between the three, none are great, but Trump has the most pro-Z relative (Jared K.) of any of the candidates so that is a red flag. Remember Trump wanting the military parades and such to show off? That does not exactly enhance the image of him as a peace candidate. He relishes the idea of having all that military power AND being able to use it. Never trust an egomaniac. RFK Jr has also denounced NATO; he is absolutely the strongest pro-peace candidate of the three and has said he would handle I/P very differently to achieve a peaceful solution. All that said, I put my fellow Americans first. Without discounting the suffering of Palestinians, I am most concerned about the suffering of Americans here at home. This country is overcome with homelessness (including veterans), food insecurity, disease, addiction, and brutal crimes committed by desperate people who have no hope and nothing to lose. Anyone who ever said the Pledge of Allegiance pledged to THIS country first and foremost, We cannot help other countries while we have all these untreated festering wounds at home.
With regard to single payor healthcare, that is my personal number one priority for a number of reasons beyond what people usually associate it with. I firmly believe it is the only way forward for our citizenry. RFK Jr is the only candidate who has a sincere interest in our health and well being, AND is the only candidate who said he would sign a single payor bill if it passed Congress, which he candidly conceded would be a tough battle; but at least he genuinely believes in it and having that in a president would put a whole lot of pressure on Congress people who claim to be for it to make good on their claims and fight for it.
I also agree that workers' co-ops are the right direction for the chance for everyone to have upward economic mobility instead of our current shareholder wealth economy where the elites bilk the lower and middle classes. But if you think Trump would in any way endorse that direction, I think there are a number of things you are overlooking. A good article on this is "Trump's Corporate Cabinet" by Public Citizen. It goes through his cabinet picks person by person and details their corporate connections and conflicts of interest, Trump intentionally broke his promise to drain the swamp; he enlarged it instead. Some of those corporate connections are the very same corporations RFK Jr has sued for their corrupt actions. RFK Jr is the only candidate who is solidly on the side of regular Americans and has a 40+ year track record of fighting for we the people and our environment. The books RFK Jr has written, he has donated the proceeds to the Children's Defense Fund because he is serious about our health. No other candidate compares in terms of commitment to Americans in the economic lower and middle classes.
From what you have described, you sound like the kind of old-school democrat (i.e.. FDR, JFK, RFK Sr) that RFK Jr represents. And as far as the choice in PA being Trump v Biden, don't believe it. The polls were way off in 2016 when they kept saying Trump didn't have a chance. They are wrong this time too, but making people believe otherwise is exactly how they draw voters back into the "vote for the lesser of two evils" trap that perpetuates the system that has turned this country into an oligarchy. If RFK Jr did not have a real chance of winning in every state, the powers that be would not be pulling out all the stops to keep him off the ballot. It just does not make sense to vote Trump when you can vote RFK Jr to actually achieve most of your objectives AND break the two-party system. This is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate at a crucial point in history. I am not going to miss this opportunity, RFK Jr has my vote and I hope that you will reconsider.

????? How about doing a story about how food shelves and food banks really work?
A lot of people, even food shelf workers, mistakenly believe that large corporations kindly donate their products to food shelves (via the big regional food banks like Second Harvest for redistribution to local food shelves) out of the goodness of their hearts. In reality, what happens is that the Farm Bill provides for an "enhanced" fed tax credit equal to cost + 50% of retail value for items "donated" to food banks. This form of tax credit means the corporate food suppliers actually are getting paid (just like the former child tax credits issued checks) amounts that are probably pretty close to what they would get by selling their products to retailers.
The bonus for these corporations is that this is a profitable way to unload products that do not sell and that are close to the sell-by date or even significantly beyond the sell-by date. Some corporations even package products specifically to go to food banks which are heavily processed and filled with cheap unhealthy ingredients no one would choose from a grocery store shelf.
Because corporations in this country have a mandate to increase shareholder wealth above all else, unless these companies are actually making a profit from "donating" products, they could actually be sued by their own shareholders. That is why they make sure that every "donation" benefits their bottom line and that is why food shelves are full of unhealthy, heavily processed products with inferior ingredients that contribute to chronic health problems like diabetes, obesity and heart disease, and many are also past their sell-by dates.
Let's stop pretending these corporate food giants are being nice to the food insecure and expose that they are making money off of the most vulnerable members of our population. As an example take a look at the fabulous new Second Harvest food bank building in Mpls that has Cargill logos all over it. The fact that they control these food banks is obvious and they are controlling them because it is profitiable
At the very least, if "enhanced" tax credits are going to be given for "donated" food, there should be minimal nutritional and freshness requirements and disallowing heavily processed foods that are full of high fructose corn syrup, bad oils, etc. We need accountability for what is included in the Farm Bill instead of it just being another conduit for shifting taxpayer funds to corporations.

The old Bernie that I supported in 2016 and 2020 would be calling out Biden for not giving us M4A under the national emergency clause of the the Social Security Act or passing it when he had BOTH houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration.. THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS instead of calling him out for an economy that is drowning the lower and middle classes while it enriches the elites. That is what Bidenomics has done. Trump hit us in the first round and then Biden came in and took another big swing at us. They both work for the duopoly..
KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.
It is the DNC that forced KENNEDY to run as an independent because they reject the traditional values that KENNEDY is running on.. The values of FDR, JRK and RFK Sr are no longer the values of the Blue party. It has sold itself to the elites and become one side of the duopoly that keeps the 99% of us being bilked by the 1%.
I am voting for the once in a lifetime candidate who can break the duopoly, who will free the 99% of us from being enslaved by the 1%. KENNEDY's support is MUCH higher than what the polls are reflecting. And whatever you do, do not believe anything the mainstream media says about him. With a fair and open mind, hear him out in his own words, unedited in his longform interviews on independent channels and the short videos on individual topics on his own channel. For an overview what his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. We need to end the forever wars, end the corporate capture of our government agencies, end the chronic disease epidemic, make the American dream of affording a home a reality again, tackle addiction, clean up our food supply and protect our environment, and protect our Constitutional rights. There is nothing to lose by hearing him out and everything to gain.
It's time to break the stranglehold of the uniparty and restore our government to one that works for the people. Millions of voters including former Dems, Repubs and Libertarians, along with Independents, Greens, never-voters and voters who have stayed home for decades are turning out to support RFK Jr. These are people like me who will NOT vote for Biden or Trump. For us it's RFK Jr or bust. Please join us.

I was disappointed at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.
Point these things out to your family members and remind them that this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to break free of the stranglehold of the duopoly that keeps us all divided and subservient to the elites. Good luck :)

People who are looking at the Progressive label as being leftist are misinformed. Teddy Roosevelt and FDR were both progressives. The former was on the right and the later was on the left, but they were both for the PEOPLE. That is what is means to be a progressive. It is about CLASS, about representing the 99% instead of the elites. That is exactly what we need!
Shanahan earned her wealth against all odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a very successful, self-made entrepreneur in AI.

@williambrock3534 I agree with you on that issue but I am not a one-issue voter.
One of the three is going to be our next president and I want it to be the one who will break the duopoly and open the door to other independent and third party candidates. He is the only one in our lifetime who can do that, probably ever. We can't waste this once-in-a-lifetime to get out of the uniparty's stranglehold.
Besides, he is better on every other issue and the only viable candidate who will help Americans who are suffering and dying from chronic disease, homelessness, hunger, addiction, crime, hopelessness and despair. Unfortunately, those Americans do not have the luxury of focusing on other countries' issues, so without discounting the lives of P's, I put my fellow Americans first.
That aside, have you listened to RFK JR's podcast, "Path to Peace" where he speaks with a Palestinian scholar and a Jewish scholar"?

THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
Now Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS.
I am voting for the ONLY presidential candidate who has said he supports single payor healthcare, who will actually sign off on M4A: RFK JR. And KENNEDY is going to get to the root of the chronic disease epidemic that now plagues 60% of our population. That number was 6% when JFK was president and no one else is asking why. The NIH under Biden refuses to study it. Why is that? It is because the government agencies under Biden are acting according to the interests of Big Pharma and other corporate interests, , not the people.
KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.

The values of FDR, JRK and RFK Sr are no longer the values of the Blue party. It has sold itself to the elites and become one side of the duopoly that keeps the 99% of us being bilked by the 1%.
I am voting for the once in a lifetime candidate who can break the duopoly, who will free the 99% of us from being enslaved by the 1%. KENNEDY's support is MUCH higher than what the polls are reflecting. And whatever you do, do not believe anything the mainstream media says about him. With a fair and open mind, hear him out in his own words, unedited in his longform interviews on independent channels and the short videos on individual topics on his own channel. For an overview what his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. We need to end the forever wars, end the corporate capture of our government agencies, end the chronic disease epidemic, make the American dream of affording a home a reality again, tackle addiction, clean up our food supply and protect our environment, and protect our Constitutional rights. There is nothing to lose by hearing him out and everything to gain.
It's time to break the stranglehold of the uniparty and restore our government to one that works for the people. Millions of voters including former Dems, Repubs and Libertarians, along with Independents, Greens, never-voters and voters who have stayed home for decades are turning out to support RFK Jr. These are people like me who will NOT vote for Biden or Trump. For us it's RFK Jr or bust. Please join us.

This is not progress. M4A would have been progress. This is just an extension of the status quo.
The old Bernie that I supported in 2016 and 2020 would be calling out Biden for not giving us M4A under the national emergency clause of the the Social Security Act or passing it when he had BOTH houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration.. THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
Now Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS.
I am voting for the ONLY presidential candidate who has said he supports single payor healthcare, who will actually sign off on M4A: RFK JR. And KENNEDY is going to get to the root of the chronic disease epidemic that now plagues 60% of our population. That number was 6% when JFK was president and no one else is asking why. The NIH under Biden refuses to study it. Why is that? It is because the government agencies under Biden are acting according to the interests of Big Pharma and other corporate interests, , not the people.
KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.

I was disappointed at first in this VP pick, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party and is also an independent. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she acquired it against all odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a very successful entrepreneur in AI. She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

The real issue here is that the airline industry punishes pilots for even the slightest hint that they are seeking mental health help or should be doing so. That's the reason this guy tried to self medicate. No pilot goes 48 hours without sleep by choice. He was obviously having serious mental health issues for which he could not seek treatment without being grounded.
You're right that depression is serious so anyone, in any profession, should be able to seek treatment without a threat to their career. Even going to marriage counseling is going to ground a pilot; thus the high rate of infidelity and divorce in the profession.
This pilot referenced feeling like it was a dream, so his condition may have worsened to the point of experiencing depersonalization where a person feels like they are in a dream or altered reality , experiencing an event as though it were a movie, not knowing what is real and what is dreamed or imagined. That would also explain his attempts to escape what he was experiencing by trying to take down the plane or open the emergency exit; both consistent with overwhelming terror. Anyone in a state of overwhelming fear is going to try to escape any way they can.
Furthermore, no one is talking about all the years he performed his job without incident and provided a service that society values. Instead, he has the eyes of the world judging him for one mistake. Until someone has walked in the shoes of a professional airline pilot, they have no idea of the pressure, the crazy schedules that constantly disrupt sleep cycles, and the constant expectation that they can perform as perfectly programmed robots instead of the very real human beings they are.

For the most part I agree with you, but as a Minnesotan, I can vouch for the fact that
Ventura was the only HONEST governor we have had. He never backed down or sold out; not many can make that claim and he has been consistently speaking out about the danger of the duopoly/uniparty for decades. He makes the establishment uncomfortable so they try to paint him as a conspiracy theorist, but he is stating facts. No one gets to be a Navy Seal, like he was, unless they are highly intelligent and can think on their feet.
As for Rodgers, I don't know enough about him but would not discount him based on his football career. In Minnesota we had a famous NFL player named Alan Page who went on to serve with distinction as the Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court for many years and he was beloved across the board.
This "news" has clearly been put out to give the public the impression that Kennedy's campaign is in chaos when, in fact, they are doing an amazing job in the polls and in gaining ballot access. I trust RFK Jr to make a solid choice and will support his ticket in November. In the mean time, be on guard for the establishment to use every trick in the book to make Kennedy appear questionable or unfit, because they are terrified of him.

@The_Brew_Dog Respectfully, I am not comparing their personas; I am saying they are both in the same powerless position with the DNC which will make sure the nomination only goes to the establishment candidate of their own choosing. Neither Bernie nor RFK Jr can do anything about the fact that the DNC is a private corporation accountable to absolutely no one - this was plainly revealed in the lawsuit following the 2016 primary rigging. I agree that RFK Jr has the courage and tenacity to withstand their scheming but he cannot realistically overcome the Super Delegates which are the power levers of the Democratic party. Those delegates, not the primary voters, chose the nominee. And the delegates are not people like you and me; they are Dem Senators and Representatives and other party insiders who are loyal to the establishment. The party has a long history of crowding out progressives or anyone who doesn't carry water for the establishment. They hated FDR and schemed against him the entire time he was in office. FDR wanted Henry Wallace, a progressive populist, as his VP candidate, and the DNC engineered a late night switcheroo behind closed doors to replace Wallace with Truman, who they knew was malleable.
It is precisely the fact that RFK Jr is a person of courage and his own conscience that makes him such a threat to the DNC and they will go to any lengths to stop him. You have to get past the idea that the people's votes have anything to do with who the nominee will be because that is just not how it works. It really is rigged.and in the 2016 lawsuit, the courts condoned the rigging based on the fact that the DNC, being a private corporation, can do as it pleases.
If, by " the democratic party of once upon a time" you are referring to the Kennedy years, we all long for that, but just realize that unbeknownst to JFK and RFK themselves, it was all a facade. The underbelly of the Democratic party was against them the whole time, just like they schemed against FDR and we know how things ended for JFK and RFK. Since JFK's assassination, no president has challenged the MIC or corporate power in general.
I agree that RFK Jr is the leader we need and we need him badly, which is why it's imperative to see the situation realistically and have the best strategy to win. The bottom line is that no one can reclaim the Democratic party; the DNC is private property, it's not available to the person with the most votes (that's just an illusion). RFK Jr needs to run as an independent to have a realistic chance. That is where hope lies.

????? How about doing a story about how food shelves and food banks really work?
A lot of people, even food shelf workers, mistakenly believe that large corporations kindly donate their products to food shelves (via the big regional food banks like Second Harvest for redistribution to local food shelves) out of the goodness of their hearts. In reality, what happens is that the Farm Bill provides for an "enhanced" fed tax credit equal to cost + 50% of retail value for items "donated" to food banks. This form of tax credit means the corporate food suppliers actually are getting paid (just like the former child tax credits issued checks) amounts that are probably pretty close to what they would get by selling their products to retailers. The bonus for these corporations is that this is a profitable way to unload products that do not sell and that are close to the sell-by date or even significantly beyond the sell-by date. Some corporations even package products specifically to go to food banks which are heavily processed and filled with cheap unhealthy ingredients no one would choose from a grocery store shelf.
Because corporations in this country have a mandate to increase shareholder wealth above all else (shareholder primacy), unless these companies are actually making a profit from "donating" products, they could actually be sued by their own shareholders. That is why they make sure that every "donation" benefits their bottom line and that is why food shelves are full of unhealthy, heavily processed products with inferior ingredients that contribute to chronic health problems like diabetes, obesity and heart disease, and many are also past their sell-by dates.
Let's stop pretending these corporate food giants are being nice to the food insecure and expose what that they are making money off of the most vulnerable members of our population. As an example take a look at the fabulous new Second Harvest food bank building in the Mpls suburb, Brooklyn Center (" A guided tour of Second Harvest Heartland's new Brooklyn Park facility" on YT) that has Cargill, General Mills and Target logos all over it, despite the fact that the MN taxpayers spent over $18 million on this. The fact that these corporations control these food banks is obvious and they are controlling them because it is profitable for them. Second Harvest makes it sound like there is a lot of fresh wholesome food, but that is NOT the case; it's almost ALL unhealthy processed food. It is NOT the case that over 60% of their product assortment is fresh (lean protein and produce), as they claim.
The other catch is that these food bank packages are NOT forwarded to local food shelves free of charge; they have to pay huge delivery fees and the lightest weight, cheapest foods to get delivered are processed foods.
The public has a right to know what is really going on with this scheme. At the very least, the government should not be giving these enhanced tax credits unless the products meet health and freshness guidelines.

This should not be a story about psychedelics. The real issue here is that the airline industry punishes pilots for even the slightest hint that they are seeking mental health help or should be doing so. That's the reason this guy tried to self medicate. No pilot goes 48 hours without sleep by choice. He was obviously having serious mental health issues for which he could not seek treatment without being grounded.
Anyone, in any profession, should be able to seek treatment without a threat to their career. Even going to marriage counseling is going to ground a pilot; thus the high rate of infidelity and divorce in the profession. He was not being irresponsible. He was playing by the industry's rules and trying to keep his job.
This pilot referenced feeling like it was a dream, so his condition may have worsened to the point of experiencing dissociation or depersonalization where a person feels like they are in a dream or altered reality , experiencing an event as though it were a movie, not knowing what is real and what is not. That would also explain his attempts to escape what he was experiencing by trying to take down the plane or open the emergency exit; both consistent with overwhelming terror. Anyone in a state of overwhelming fear is going to try to escape any way they can.
Furthermore, no one is talking about all the years he performed his job without incident and provided a service that society values. Instead, he has the eyes of the world judging him for one mistake because he was just as sick as a person with diabetes or cancer or any other chronic health condition that worsens if untreated. Until someone has walked in the shoes of a professional airline pilot, they have no idea of the pressure, the crazy schedules that constantly disrupt sleep cycles, and the constant expectation that they can perform as perfectly programmed robots instead of the very real human beings they are.

@1stuart1 No, I never said "he did what he had to do". What I am saying is his employer, the airline industry and our society never should have put him (or anyone) in a situation of having to make an impossible choice between:
A)getting medical attention, and thereby throwing away everything he has worked for his entire life, and
B) trying to tough it out to support his family and keep his health insurance while trying to find ways to deal with it himself (the mushrooms) so that he would not jeopardize his future.
That is not a realistic or fair choice. It takes years and years to get where he was. Airlines do not trust their planes and passengers to people who do not demonstrate outstanding skill and reliability. No one is his position chooses to throws it all away. He was between a rock and a hard place. He was in a no-win situation because of airline industry policy and it does not have to be that way. All they have to do is let pilots access mental health care without repercussions to their careers. This pilot made his choice to tough it out when he was depressed, which is proven to affect a person's judgement.
There was no unsupported narrative in my response regarding sleep deprivation, depression and dissociative disorders. The pilot explicitly cites the first two as things he has been suffering from. Sleep deprivation is a huge issue among airline pilots and the industry knows it but still won't allow treatment of it. They, and they alone are responsible for the cause of sleep deprivation (because of erratic scheduling) and for their refusal to treat it.
As for the third item, dissociative disorders, his actions are overwhelming evidence that he was acting out due to that, in addition to his statement that it was like a dream. He was in an altered state not of his own choosing. Can I prove that? No. It will all have to come out in court. The problem is that people are judging him now, just based on media spin around mushrooms and portraying him as reckless and irresponsible. THAT is what is disingenuous here. Research these conditions to get a better understanding of how they affect perception and judgment and how lack of treatment leads to more serious psychiatric conditions over time.
Mental illness is a double edged sword that tells its sufferers that they can will themselves out of their condition, at the same time it is pulling them further into the abyss. It is just as real as diabetes, cancer or any other medical condition that is beyond the control of the person who has it. The difference is that sufferers of the later conditions are not judged for the effects of their disease the same way as those who suffer from mentally illness.
Ask yourself this: If a truck driver passed out from a diabetic or epileptic seizure behind the wheel, causing a multiple vehicle accident on a major highway that resulted in multiple deaths, would he or she be judged just as critically as this pilot? I very much doubt it. The public would at least be much more likely to wait for the full story to come out instead of rushing to judgment over media hype. The way this story has been rolled out by the media gives this pilot no chance and that is just not fair. All the blame is being placed on him while the airline industry is getting off scot free for inhumane and outdated policies that serve only their profit goals.

I thought his VP pick was not the best at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

@technoloverish No, I am not a "fan", follower, etc of Steve Bannon or Fuentes. The fact that you would think so exposes your blind spot and bias against anyone who is critical of Biden, the DNC and other corporate-owned politicians of both parties. My comment was in reference to the DNC establishment. Trying to label me (someone you don't know at all) as "anti-establishment" ( there are all sorts of "establishments", some with overlaps, some without) is a very broad allegation with no basis in fact. Actually, assigning that label to anyone, even Bannon, is a stretch because everyone has nuances of perspectives and opinions and simply calling anyone anti-establishment is a meaningless oversimplification and very misleading in the least. It only serves to try to divide people into different camps and then pit them against each other while the elites continue to bleed all of us dry. It's the very thing RFK Jr is against.
I don't know you either, but when you leap to assumptions and try to brand me as something I am not just because I am against rigged primaries and elections, it suggests that you are a shill for Biden/the DNC/the corporate-owned democratic "establishment". I say that because you are borrowing a page from their playbook. The same playbook that tries to paint RFK Jr as being influenced by Bannon, calling him an anti-vaxxer, a conspiracy theorist, and on and on ad nauseam.
There are a whole lot of Americans like me who just want primaries and elections that are not rigged and a President who can at least walk and chew gum at the same time and who is not owned by anyone and willing to serve the interests of the actual human beings of this country. If you can't understand that, I can't help you.

"Though CNN and other media companies have reported that Secret Service protection is only available 120 days prior to the general election, that is not accurate. USSS advised that there is no set timeline for receiving protection, and cited candidate Barack Obama receiving protection very early in the process, 551 days before Election Day. RFK Jr’s uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, received early Secret Service protection in 1972, when he wasn’t even an announced candidate. In 1979, the Carter Administration provided Secret Service protection for Ted Kennedy again — 400 days before Election Day. President Nixon and Ted Kennedy were longtime political enemies. Jimmy Carter was a sitting president being challenged by someone in his own party — yet these considerations did not stop either President Nixon or Carter from having the basic decency to realize that there could be all sorts of sociopaths and others looking to be the next Kennedy assassin.
Presidential candidate Jesse Jackson received protection earlier than usual, about 10 weeks before other candidates, John McCain was offered protection more than 500 days before Election Day, and both Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson received protection about a year before Election Day. Sitting administrations also approved early Secret Service protection for Reps Shirley Chisholm and Wilbur Mills, and even provided protection for the notorious segregationist Gov. George Wallace of Alabama. Same for presidential candidates Muskie, Humphrey, and McGovern, all afforded Secret Service much more than 120 days before Election Day."

@MrGolov-te5eb I don't agree with him on what he stated at first either but he has since done podcasts with I and P scholars called Path to Peace and he has said he does not like Netanyahu and would have handled the situation much differently and immediately started negotiating for peace. Also, please note that he chose a running mate who says the only thing she agrees with Iz on is that they should be able to keep the iron dome. Kennedy / Shanahan is the most anti-w , compassionate ticket in the race and they are the only ones talking about the issues real Americans are struggling with, and will end the forever wars, rebuild the middle class and solve the housing crisis, end the chronic disease and addiction epidemics, seal the border, rid our government of corporate capture, solve the debt crisis, make the American Dream attainable and heal the division that pervades our country. On top of that, KENNEDY is our only chance to free ourselves from the shackles of the two party system that is controlled by the same donors who want to keep the majority of us under their control. It's time to liberate ourselves from this archaic system that is draining this country and its people. Please give RFK Jr another look and don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

The old Bernie that I supported in 2016 and 2020 would be calling out Biden for not giving us M4A under the national emergency clause of the the Social Security Act or passing it when he had BOTH houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration.. THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS instead of calling him out for an economy that is drowning the lower and middle classes while it enriches the elites. That is what Bidenomics has done. Trump hit us in the first round and then Biden came in and took another big swing at us. They both work for the duopoly..
KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.
It is the DNC that forced KENNEDY to run as an independent because they reject the traditional values that KENNEDY is running on.. The values of FDR, JRK and RFK Sr are no longer the values of the Blue party. It has sold itself to the elites and become one side of the duopoly that keeps the 99% of us being bilked by the 1%.
I am voting for the once in a lifetime candidate who can break the duopoly, who will free the 99% of us from being enslaved by the 1%. KENNEDY's support is MUCH higher than what the polls are reflecting. And whatever you do, do not believe anything the mainstream media says about him. With a fair and open mind, hear him out in his own words, unedited in his longform interviews on independent channels and the short videos on individual topics on his own channel. For an overview what his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. We need to end the forever wars, end the corporate capture of our government agencies, end the chronic disease epidemic, make the American dream of affording a home a reality again, tackle addiction, clean up our food supply and protect our environment, and protect our Constitutional rights. There is nothing to lose by hearing him out and everything to gain.
It's time to break the stranglehold of the uniparty and restore our government to one that works for the people. Millions of voters including former Dems, Repubs and Libertarians, along with Independents, Greens, never-voters and voters who have stayed home for decades are turning out to support RFK Jr. These are people like me who will NOT vote for Biden or Trump. For us it's RFK Jr or bust. Please join us.

@erichsbloodaxe First, you are missing the point: the fact that the US IS the wealthiest nation and that most of that wealth is in the hands of the top 1% illustrates the reason we do not have single payor healthcare or decent food that is wholesome, nutritious and affordable. Most of this nation's wealth is used against us, not for us,
Second, the Kennedy family, even with the combined wealth of the Kennedy trust only totals around $1B which is divided amongst over 100 family members. The Kennedy family's wealth is dwarfed by even the Walton family whose net worth is over $154B and is divided amongst only a handful of family members., making them at least 200 times wealthier than the Kennedys. Then we have the Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg club whose wealth extends well into the stratosphere beyond any of the aforementioned,
RFK Jr's wealth is estimated at $15-60M and most of that he has EARNED; the proceeds from the trust being divided amongst so many family members is no where near what it would take to accumulate a net worth of that size. Even so, by the standards of todays elected officials and corporate CEO's, RFJK Jr is a virtual pauper.

The so-called "new footage" is of a rogue consultant who hijacked a meeting and voiced personal opinions that are not representative of the campaign at all,. But of course, the media ran with it in yet another attempt to smear Kennedy. RFK Jr went on Cuomo's News Nation show and very candidly and transparently explained the whole incident.
KENNEDY is ABSOLUTELY NOT trying to help Trump.
Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with"?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. He is not a conspiracy theorist, nor is he against vaccines. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited. Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states. Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE. He is the ONLY candidate talking about the issues that 99% of us really care about like ending the corporate capture of government agencies, ending the forever wars, rebuilding the middle class and making home ownership affordable, ending the chronic disease epidemic, protecting our constitutional rights, preventing us from having to live in a surveillance state and have it control every facet of our lives, stopping the takeover of small businesses by private equity, cleaning up our food and our soil, and returning our government to We The People, not the corporations.
KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment. Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. The polls were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s just the duopoly’s propaganda.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil THE TIRED GAME OF VOTING BASED ON FEAR HAS TO END.
Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves , their children and the world. That candidate is ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

Great reporting on this.
On another note, here is a STORY IDEA:
????? How about doing a story about how food shelves and food banks really work? A lot of people, even food shelf workers, mistakenly believe that large corporations kindly donate their products to food shelves (via the big regional food banks like Second Harvest for redistribution to local food shelves) out of the goodness of their hearts. In reality, what happens is that the Farm Bill provides for an "enhanced" fed tax credit equal to cost + 50% of retail value for items "donated" to food banks. This form of tax credit means the corporate food suppliers actually are getting paid (just like the former child tax credits issued checks) amounts that are probably pretty close to what they would get by selling their products to retailers. The bonus for these corporations is that this is a profitable way to unload products that do not sell and that are close to the sell-by date or even significantly beyond the sell-by date. Some corporations even package products specifically to go to food banks which are heavily processed and filled with cheap unhealthy ingredients no one would choose from a grocery store shelf.
Because corporations in this country have a mandate to increase shareholder wealth above all else (shareholder primacy), unless these companies are actually making a profit from "donating" products, they could actually be sued by their own shareholders. That is why they make sure that every "donation" benefits their bottom line and that is why food shelves are full of unhealthy, heavily processed products with inferior ingredients that are cheap to make and that contribute to chronic health problems like diabetes, obesity and heart disease, and many are also past their sell-by dates. Let's stop pretending these corporate food giants are being nice to the food insecure and expose what that they are making money off of the most vulnerable members of our population. As an example take a look at the fabulous new Second Harvest food bank building in the Mpls suburb, Brooklyn Center (" A guided tour of Second Harvest Heartland's new Brooklyn Park facility" on YT) that has Cargill, General Mills and Target logos all over it, despite the fact that the MN taxpayers spent over $18 million on this. The fact that these corporations control these food banks is obvious and they are controlling them because it is profitiable for them. Second Harvest makes it sound like there is a lot of fresh wholesome food, but that is NOT the case; it's almost ALL unhealthy processed food. It is NOT the case that over 60% of their product assortment is fresh (lean protein and produce), as they claim.
The other catch is that these food bank packages are NOT forwarded to local food shelves free of charge; they have to pay huge delivery fees and the lightest weight, cheapest foods to get delivered are processed foods.
We need accountability from the Farm Bill. Make it work for people and small farms, not food conglomerates and factory farm corporations. Stop the siphoning of tax dollars into unhealthy foods with high profit margins that translate into cheap, unhealthy ingredients that add to the chronic disease epidemic. If the enhanced tax credits are going to continue, at least limit them to products that meet minimum nutrition and safety guidelines.
The public has a right to know what is really going on with this scheme. At the very least, the government should not be giving these enhanced tax credits unless the products meet health and freshness guidelines.

Of course you have a lot of responses here (from realtors, no surprise!) telling you this is not going to save you money. Not true. Most sellers would prefer to by-pass realtors altogether to save themselves and the buyer unnecessary expense. Why pay retail when you can buy/sell wholesale? As a seller, I am willing to reduce the price of my property by the amount of the buyer's rep's 2.7% commission plus probably even more to compensate for the fact that I don't have to pay the seller's agent's share of the commission or any of the administrative fees they tack on. I would be represented by an attorney, as would you, costing each of us about $1,000 (far less than either of us would pay for realtor representation). Your lender is going to appraise the property and you are going to get a home inspection so that you can negotiate further on anything that may need repair, etc. Start letting family and acquaintances know that you are looking for something to buy and you might be surprised by what transpires. Talk to your banker about getting prequalified so you know your budget and some may even know of customers who are thinking of selling. Your banker and attorney can advise you on escrow, etc. Going through this may be a learning experience but it is not rocket science, and it is valuable and will empower you for other transactions in the future. You may encounter some sellers who want full price including what a realtor would charge for full commission, but most sellers are reasonable and just want a fair price. Treating people the way you would want to be treated is the best rule of thumb, so letting the seller know that you are willing to be fair establishes a baseline for negotiating. Your lender is going to appraise the property and you are going to get a home inspection so that you can negotiate further on anything that may need repair, etc. Never purchase a home without a professional home inspection. Even the seller may not be aware of all the issues that can surface in an inspection. Make an offer and then you can make a counteroffer to their counteroffer. The worst that can happen is that one of you declines with no hard feelings and you come out with some experience for the next opportunity.
I know a lot of people who have by-passed realtors and both parties were happy with the transaction. I know even more people who (both buyers and sellers) who used realtors or real estate agents and were very unhappy with their results. Things can go wrong whether realtors are involved or not. Likewise, things can go smoothly, with or without realtors. I would start by asking your banker, insurance agent and acquaintances for recommendations for a good attorney who specializes in real estate. Try to get at least two or three names (get the names of the individual attorneys, not just the names of the law firms), compare their rates for a typical purchase transaction and go from there. A friendly banker can be a great ally and steer you in the right direction. Best of luck to you!

It is dark, isn't it. And we need a beacon of hope.
I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and it breaks my heart to see him groveling for votes for his so-called friend. Bernie is Biden's friend but it does not go both ways.
Where was all this working together when Bernie wanted to advance M4A and student loan forgiveness???? Biden only comes around when he wants Bernie to stump for him. Biden has known about these problems all along. He promised to raise the minimum wage and offer a public option. What happened to those promises? He had BOTH houses of Congress the first two years to pass any legislation he wanted. If Biden had done anything for the PEOPLE, instead of the elites, he wouldn't need to have Bernie stumping for him.
If Biden believed in democracy he would not have let the Dem party rig the primaries against Bernie (TWICE) and then against RFK Jr.
And when it comes to fairness for workers, Biden totally screwed the railroad workers.
I am fed up with voting for the lesser of two evils because it's lesser and it's evil. Telling people to vote blue out of FEAR is playing right into the hands of the the corrupt duopoly that has kept this country in a stranglehold for decades.
The DNC rigged the primary so that it would be impossible for RFK JR to win and the reason they did it is because he wanted to restore the Dem party to the values of FDR, JFK and his father, and that's the last thing the DNC wants. None of those great leaders would even recognize the Dem party of today that has sold out to the elites and turned its back on the working people of America. American's can't afford homes, they can't afford healthcare, or groceries. 60% of Americans have at least one chronic illness. When JFK was in office that number was 6%. What has Biden done about it? He won't even talk about the real issues plaguing this country and killing the middle class, or about ending the forever wars. Those are the issues RFK JR IS talking about and offering solutions for. He is the only one who cares enough to put his life on the line and run independent to represent the PEOPLE instead of the elites.
The only one who will get my vote will be the candidate who has EARNED it and that is RFK JR. Don't believe anything you hear about him on mainstream media. Go to his channel with a fair and open mind and hear him out, unedited, in his own words. Especially listen to his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. Listen and decide for yourself. You have nothing to lose.

You are absolutely right. Together, Trump and Biden oversaw the greatest transfer of wealth to the elites in history

Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with"?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. He is not a conspiracy theorist, nor is he against vaccines. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited. Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states. Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE. He is the ONLY candidate talking about the issues that 99% of us really care about like ending the corporate capture of government agencies, ending the forever wars, rebuilding the middle class and making home ownership affordable, ending the chronic disease epidemic, protecting our constitutional rights, preventing us from having to live in a surveillance state and have it control every facet of our lives, stopping the takeover of small businesses by private equity, cleaning up our food and our soil, and returning our government to We The People, not the corporations.
KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment. Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. The polls were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s just the duopoly’s propaganda.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil THE TIRED GAME OF VOTING BASED ON FEAR HAS TO END.
Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves , their children and the world. That candidate is ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

So because someone has a house you think they don't merit a little empathy when a trespasser attempts to harm them? Sorry, but that "logic" has a hole big enough to drive through.
No one can say that he "has never lifted the finger". He and his wife earned that house; very little of his annual income comes from the family trust set up by his grandfather. Because it's distributed among so many relatives, none of them can live off of it and live on the scale he does. Only one of RFK Jr's adult children has been able afford his own home. Home ownership is not attainable for far too many Americans and he is the only one talking about it.
He has 40+ years of practicing law taking on corrupt corporations and the government agencies they have captured, writing books, teaching law, public speaking, growing Water Keepers' Alliance and Children's Health Defense, and advocating for indigenous people. Not exactly an idle life.
He did grow up with priviledge and he acknowledges it. He has also worked very hard and grew up seeing his father's assassination being replayed on television for the last 50 +years and lost more family members to tragedy than most of us. His wife grew up in poverty and has shared what it is like to not have your own bed, to worry about how you're going to afford gas to get to work or how you are going to pay for a car repair when the engine light comes on and you have no savings to fall back on. One of his best friends relies on $23/month in SNAP benefits. He has not lived in a bubble. He sees and hears real people.
It's just ironic that you are choosing to attack the one candidate who really cares about everyone having a home of their own and is willing to take on the corporate investors who are out-competing regular people and buying up most of the homes, and putting them out of reach for low and middle income Americans.
If he is willing to endure all the smears and threats to his safety so that he can spend 4-8 years working really hard to give the American Dream back to every American instead of retiring into a life of comfort and ease, I think he deserves a fair amount of credit for that. I hope you will check out the videos at TEAM KENNEDY and reconsider your view of him.

KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil THE TIRED GAME OF VOTING BASED ON FEAR HAS TO END.
Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves , their children and the world. That candidate is ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

@WarNPeace-p6h Yes, I know that out of over 100 family members, the majority of them support RFK Jr and many are working on his campaign.
Of the handful of vocal dissenters, all of them have jobs in or financial ties to the Biden administration. They are watching out for their own interests, not the country's.
What is noteworthy is that, despite their very public betrayal, RFK Jr is the one who echoes his father's values by taking the high road and stressing his love for them despite their disagreements.
The family is widely known to be a very competitive one and they were raised to challenge each other's opinions.
Instead of spinning this to try to make RFK Jr look bad, people should be questioning any family that would so publicly try to humiliate one of their own and the person who would weaponize a man's own family against him; that person being Joe Biden.
How can anyone be so ruthless and morally bankrupt as to try to capitalize on using another person's own family against them.? It is clearly the action of a desperate man who knows he is failing in the polls and trying to shift the blame.
Biden squandered his presidency by overseeing the greatest transfer of wealth to the elite class of any other president in history and betraying the railroad workers. The inflation reduction act was a giveaway to corporations,. He failed to offer the public option he promised and reneged on his promise to cancel student debt and issue $2,000 stimulus checks. If he had served working Americans instead of the elites he wouldn't be in dire straits now.
Americans are homeless, hungry, addicted and plagued by chronic disease, crime, hopelessness and despair. RFK JR isn't stealing votes from Biden or Trump, both of them lost those votes by their own doing. The truth is, the vast majority of KENNEDY supporters are so fed up with the two party system they would not vote for Biden or Trump even if KENNEDY weren't in the race.
Now I have a question for you: Do you know how far the DNC went to rig the primary against RFK Jr and force him out of the party?

The old Bernie that I supported in 2016 and 2020 would be calling out Biden for not giving us M4A under the national emergency clause of the the Social Security Act or passing it when he had BOTH houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration.. THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
Now Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS.
I am voting for the ONLY presidential candidate who has said he supports single payor healthcare, who will actually sign off on M4A: RFK JR. And KENNEDY is going to get to the root of the chronic disease epidemic that now plagues 60% of our population. That number was 6% when JFK was president and no one else is asking why. The NIH under Biden refuses to study it. Why is that? It is because the government agencies under Biden are acting according to the interests of Big Pharma and other corporate interests, , not the people.
KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.
It is the DNC that forced KENNEDY to run as an independent because they reject the traditional values that KENNEDY is running on.. The values of FDR, JRK and RFK Sr are no longer the values of the Blue party. It has sold itself to the elites and become one side of the duopoly that keeps the 99% of us being bilked by the 1%.
I am voting for the once in a lifetime candidate who can break the duopoly, who will free the 99% of us from being enslaved by the 1%. KENNEDY's support is MUCH higher than what the polls are reflecting. And whatever you do, do not believe anything the mainstream media says about him. With a fair and open mind, hear him out in his own words, unedited in his longform interviews on independent channels and the short videos on individual topics on his own channel. For an overview what his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. We need to end the forever wars, end the corporate capture of our government agencies, end the chronic disease epidemic, make the American dream of affording a home a reality again, tackle addiction, clean up our food supply and protect our environment, and protect our Constitutional rights. There is nothing to lose by hearing him out and everything to gain.
It's time to break the stranglehold of the uniparty and restore our government to one that works for the people. Millions of voters including former Dems, Repubs and Libertarians, along with Independents, Greens, never-voters and voters who have stayed home for decades are turning out to support RFK Jr. These are people like me who will NOT vote for Biden or Trump. For us it's RFK Jr or bust. Please join us.

Vote RFK Jr. until BOTH parties return to sanity.
Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. He is not a conspiracy theorist, nor is he against vaccines. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited. Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states. Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE.
KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment. Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. The polls were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s just the duopoly’s propaganda.

Biden has had four years to do it and the first two years he had both houses of Congress. He could have taxed the rich, could have offered a public option, could have raised the minimum wage, could have supported the railroad workers. But he failed to do all those things and more. It was his choice. He only comes around to Bernie to stump for him when he needs votes.
RFK JR is the one who is articulating the wealth inequality in this country and has solutions aimed at rebuilding the middle class. Unlike Biden, he is not beholden to anyone and has not built his career on catering to the financial sector and the MIC. Kennedy has been fighting corporations and corrupt government agencies for the last 40 years. He has fought for our health and the environment. He has the intelligence, compassion and moral courage of his father and his agenda is to restore this nation to the values that FDR, JFK and his father stood for. None of those great leaders would even recognize the Democratic party of today that has sold out to its corporate donors and turned it's back on working people. RFK Jr is an old school democrat, the kind that fought for the little guy. Don't believe the smears about him on mainstream media. Go to his channel and watch him, unedited, in his own words. Start with his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. No one has anything to lose by hearing him out. I was a Bernie supporter in 2016 and 2020 but I will not vote for Biden. Kennedy, on the other hand, has EARNED my vote. I hope you will give him a chance.

No child or parent should have to go through what you are going through. Autism is epidemic in this country now and the treatments seem so inadequate. "Science" is now bought and paid for and that needs to change, A big part of the problem is the corporate capture of federal agencies like the USDA, the FDA, and others that are supposed to be based on pure, unbiased science and serve the citizens, not corporations.
This is one of the central issues of RFK Jr's campaign and the reason I support him. He is the ONLY candidate calling out these really important issues and he is committed to unraveling the corporate capture and cleaning up our soil and our food supply. Sixty percent of our population is plagued by chronic disease, it's an epidemic in this country. When JFK was president, only 6% of our population suffered from chronic disease. Our federal policies, the multi-national food companies that control our food supply and Big Pharma that profits off of our poor health are all the culprits that need to be reined in.
Nicole Shanahan, RFK Jr's VP pick, also has a daughter who was diagnosed with autism and Nicole is engaged in the working on the science to help sufferers and their families. Her main focus is cleaning up our soil through regenerative farming and making our food supply wholesome and nutritious again. As a mother, she understands the importance and the urgency of treating autism. Her commitment in this area will be a huge part of her job as VP.

I was disappointed at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

@Carini76 Kennedy DID follow directions. NY law does not declare what constitutes democracy and he acted on his attorneys' advice.
At the time this decision was made, it was obvious that Tulsi was at the top of RFK JR'S list of VP choices which also included Jesse Ventura and Rand Paul, and Shanahan was not even up for consideration. Shanahan herself disclosed this in an interview where she said she was at a dinner with Kennedy months after he filed where the group was discussing the top VP picks that were either not agreeing to run or whose viability had come into question when her partner said to Kennedy, "What about Nicole?" That was the turning point in the VP selection and that was when RFK Jr's team sent out emails asking supporters to rank the qualities they wanted in a VP.
Many months prior to that, RFK Jr had consulted his election attorneys about where to claim residency since he was in both NY and CA. They based their advice of claiming NY on the fact that NY is where he has been a resident since the age of nine, it's where he has his law license to earn a living and his law practice is in NY, he pays his income taxes to NY, his driver's license and registration are in NY, and all his recreational licenses are in NY including his falconry license which he authored NY's state exam for. There is also the fact that when he agreed to move to the west coast to be with Cheryl Hines, it was agreed that upon her retirement they would return to NY to reside full time.
Over the years, prior to his marriage to Hines, he also lived in other states where he was trying cases for long periods of time, sometimes years in cases where the lawsuits where drawn out, It would have been absurd for him to have to pass multiple states' bar exams and move his permanent residency every time he tried a case in another state without having any idea in advance how long the case would last. The only practical solution was to maintain his NY license and keep his law firm in NY.

I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and it breaks my heart to see him groveling for votes for his so-called friend. Bernie is Biden's friend but it does not go both ways.
Where was all this working together when Bernie wanted to advance M4A and student loan forgiveness???? Biden only comes around when he wants Bernie to stump for him. Biden has known about these problems all along. He promised to raise the minimum wage and offer a public option. What happened to those promises? He had BOTH houses of Congress the first two years to pass any legislation he wanted. If Biden had done anything for the PEOPLE, instead of the elites, he wouldn't need to have Bernie stumping for him.
If Biden believed in democracy he would not have let the Dem party rig the primaries against Bernie (TWICE) and then against RFK Jr.
And when it comes to fairness for workers, Biden totally screwed the railroad workers.
I am fed up with voting for the lesser of two evils because it's lesser and it's evil. Telling people to vote blue out of FEAR is playing right into the hands of the the corrupt duopoly that has kept this country in a stranglehold for decades.
The DNC rigged the primary so that it would be impossible for RFK JR to win and the reason they did it is because he wanted to restore the Dem party to the values of FDR, JFK and his father, and that's the last thing the DNC wants. None of those great leaders would even recognize the Dem party of today that has sold out to the elites and turned its back on the working people of America. American's can't afford homes, they can't afford healthcare, or groceries. 60% of Americans have at least one chronic illness. When JFK was in office that number was 6%. What has Biden done about it? He won't even talk about the real issues plaguing this country and killing the middle class, or about ending the forever wars. Those are the issues RFK JR IS talking about and offering solutions for. He is the only one who cares enough to put his life on the line and run independent to represent the PEOPLE instead of the elites.
The only one who will get my vote will be the candidate who has EARNED it and that is RFK JR. Don't believe anything you hear about him on mainstream media. Go to his channel with a fair and open mind and hear him out, unedited, in his own words. Especially listen to his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. Listen and decide for yourself. You have nothing to lose.

Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. He is not a conspiracy theorist, nor is he against vaccines. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited. Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states. Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE. He is the ONLY candidate talking about the issues that 99% of us really care about like ending the corporate capture of government agencies, ending the forever wars, rebuilding the middle class and making home ownership affordable, ending the chronic disease epidemic, protecting our constitutional rights, preventing us from having to live in a surveillance state and have it control every facet of our lives, stopping the takeover of small businesses by private equity, cleaning up our food and our soil, and returning our government to We The People, not the corporations.
KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment. Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. The polls were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s just the duopoly’s propaganda.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil THE TIRED GAME OF VOTING BASED ON FEAR HAS TO END.
Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves , their children and the world

@BooksForever And who gave us Trump to begin with?
Who rigged the 2016 primaries against Bernie even though the polls showed that he was the candidate who could beat Trump? You know it was the DNC. They did it because they wanted THEIR choice as the nominee, not the PEOPLE'S choice. That is NOT democracy.
Democracy is of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE.
Democracy is NOT of the DNC, by the DNC, for the DNC.
The DNC is a private corporation that is not accountable to anyone. Same as the RNC, but the DNC has built in an extra layer of "insurance" by using Super Delegate to make sure that the nomination will only go to a candidate they can control. They are the puppet masters.
They have absolutely no qualms about rigging elections. They went even further against RFK Jr than the did with Bernie. They actually passed a rule that said that any votes for RFK Jr in a state where he had campaigned would automatically go to Biden. And they passed this rule AFTER Kennedy had already campaigned in the first primary states, making it impossible for him to even have a chance at the nomination. You can call a dirty trick like that a lot of things but you cannot call it democracy.
There are also indications the polls are being rigged to downplay the amount of support for RFK Jr so that people will mistakenly think that voting for him is throwing their vote away.
Everything is designed to keep people believing that they have to keep voting out of FEAR for the lesser of two evils. The bottom line is that they are both evil and I will not vote for either one.
This is our once in a lifetime chance to break free of the stranglehold the duopoly has had on this country for decades and only a fool would waste it. How many more times are you going to vote out of fear? They will always find another reason for you to be afraid. It is time to vote to put this country back on course and get rid of the corruption, the forever wars and our failing economy. I recall RFK Jr quoting one of the founding fathers, "Sink or swim, live or die, I am with my country".

I was disappointed at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

@carycunningham9510 I only asked because i recognize your handle from other channels where you shared some great comments imo, but I haven't seen you here before.
I support Kennedy because I am fed up with the old lesser of two evils choices presented by the duopoly. My major goals are to break the stranglehold of the duopoly, end corporate capture of our government agencies, end the forever wars that are draining this country and getting our people healthy. Kennedy is the only viable candidate who can do that.
I was a Bernie supporter in 2016 and 2020 but he bent the knee and abandoned us, so it's not easy to trust another candidate but I have listened to every video on RFK Jr that I could find starting with his announcement that he was considering a run and I am convinced that he is sincere. For his own campaign, he was offered a huge lump sum at the start that he turned down because he did not feel good about the source,
Kennedy has no control over the super PAC supporting his campaign. Campaigns land the PACS are prohibited from colluding. Big donors typically donate to the top two contenders to hedge their bets, so if they are donating to a PAC that backs Kennedy it just means they think he is a better contender against Trump than Biden.
KENNEDY wants to get big money out of our elections. Biden has made absolutely no move to do that and instead, Biden participates in rigging the primaries and the general election against anyone the DNC donors do not want.
At this stage, Kennedy is stuck with the rules of the game as they have been established. I do not believe that he is owned by anyone. If I did, I would not be solidly behind him.

The real issue here is that the airline industry punishes pilots for even the slightest hint that they are seeking mental health help or should be doing so. That's the reason this guy tried to self medicate. No pilot goes 48 hours without sleep by choice. He was obviously having serious mental health issues for which he could not seek treatment without being grounded.
Anyone, in any profession, should be able to seek treatment without a threat to their career. Even going to marriage counseling is going to ground a pilot; thus the high rate of infidelity and divorce in the profession. He was not being irresponsible. He was playing by the industry's rules and trying to keep his job.
This pilot referenced feeling like it was a dream, so his condition may have worsened to the point of experiencing dissociation or depersonalization where a person feels like they are in a dream or altered reality , experiencing an event as though it were a movie, not knowing what is real and what is not. That would also explain his attempts to escape what he was experiencing by trying to take down the plane or open the emergency exit; both consistent with overwhelming terror. Anyone in a state of overwhelming fear is going to try to escape any way they can.
Furthermore, no one is talking about all the years he performed his job without incident and provided a service that society values. Instead, he has the eyes of the world judging him for one mistake because he was just as sick as a person with diabetes or cancer or any other chronic health condition that worsens if untreated. Until someone has walked in the shoes of a professional airline pilot, they have no idea of the pressure, the crazy schedules that constantly disrupt sleep cycles, and the constant expectation that they can perform as perfectly programmed robots instead of the very real human beings they are.
The story here should be about getting the airline industry to treat pilots like human beings. Rising and other media really missed the mark on this story.

@cathywenner1796 I get what you are saying and was just offering up some talking points you might use to jolt those minds back to being sane.
It is interesting that you used the phrase "MAGA mind" because it seems to me that the whole MAGA mindset is very cult-like and they are under their leader's spell. I think in the case of Shanahan the word "progressive" made them flip out and they ran with it. They equate it with liberal and leftist when actually that is not true at all. Teddy Roosevelt and FDR were both progressives; opposing political parties with Teddy being on the right and FDR on the left. Nonetheless they were both progressives because they both sided with the people,. This is another case where labels just cause confusion and alienate people. (I responded to one post that was claiming that Shanahan was pro-communist and bringing in illegal immigrants to expand the poor population. lol) I wish she hadn't used the word progressive for that very reason but now it is up to us to educate, as you said.
MAGAs also seem to despise the poor and any social programs to alleviate suffering. Their lack of critical thinking made them completely by-pass the whole point of Nicole's story which is that it was a hand-up for her instead of a hand-out. They don't stop to think how many times over she has paid those benefits back in the taxes she has paid.
Even though we understand the importance of good farming practices and healthy food, I think to bolster Nicole's appeal it will be more important to focus on her unique qualification of being an expert in AI which is undoubtedly the biggest threat to our freedom. With AI learning more about each of our lives everyday with every single key stroke we make, we each have our own spy assigned to us, looking over our shoulder memorizing everything thing we are doing and thinking. And the WEF is already training it to control every aspect of our lives. Having an expert right beside our president who is cable of helping him safeguard our freedom in an area where guns will be useless is essential. This is what MAGAs need to understand : those that want to strip us of our liberties are not coming with guns, they are coming with AI.
I am convinced RFK picked her because she is the best person he could find who has this expertise and aligns with his other values.
I also think that the reason she chose to talk about farming and health was simply because it is something anyone can understand whereas AI is way above most of our heads, so how do you talk about it without losing people or even scaring them? Hopefully, Nicole will be able to find a way to discuss the importance of dealing with AI in a way that most people can grasp. But in the meantime, it is important that everyone (Dems and MAGAs) understand that guns are going to be useless against this threat and we need someone on our side who knows what it can do and how to combat it.
Good luck talking these people back into the fold. This was a shock for them but hopefully once the dust settles and their heads stop spinning, they will see this for what it is; not a move to the left, but a buckling down on preserving our freedom.
Stay strong :)

@larschapman3329 At the time this decision was made, it was obvious that Tulsi was at the top of RFK JR'S list of VP choices which also included Jesse Ventura and Rand Paul, and Shanahan was not even up for consideration. Shanahan herself disclosed this in an interview where she said she was at a dinner with Kennedy months after he filed where the group was discussing the top VP picks that were either not agreeing to run or whose viability had come into question when her partner said to Kennedy, "What about Nicole?" That was the turning point in the VP selection and that was when RFK Jr's team sent out emails asking supporters to rank the qualities they wanted in a VP.
Many months prior to that, RFK Jr had consulted his election attorneys about where to claim residency since he was in both NY and CA. They based their advice of claiming NY on the fact that NY is where he has been a resident since the age of nine, it's where he has his law license to earn a living and his law practice is in NY, he pays his income taxes to NY, his driver's license and registration are in NY, and all his recreational licenses are in NY including his falconry license which he authored NY's state exam for. There is also the fact that when he agreed to move to the west coast to be with Cheryl Hines, it was agreed that upon her retirement they would return to NY to reside full time.
Over the years, prior to his marriage to Hines, he also lived in other states where he was trying cases for long periods of time, sometimes years in cases where the lawsuits where drawn out, It would have been absurd for him to have to pass multiple states' bar exams and move his permanent residency every time he tried a case in another state without having any idea in advance how long the case would last. The only practical solution was to maintain his NY license and keep his law firm in NY.

Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.. . IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THOSE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
The same thing is happening now. Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states.
Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. That is NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE.
KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment. Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. The polls were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s just the duopoly’s propaganda.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil They know the tired game of voting based on fear has to end.
Do NOT believe what the msm says about RFK Jr. Listen to the man in his own words, unedited to see what he really stands for.
Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves , their children and the world. That candidate is ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

"Though CNN and other media companies have reported that Secret Service protection is only available 120 days prior to the general election, that is not accurate. USSS advised that there is no set timeline for receiving protection, and cited candidate Barack Obama receiving protection very early in the process, 551 days before Election Day. RFK Jr’s uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, received early Secret Service protection in 1972, when he wasn’t even an announced candidate. In 1979, the Carter Administration provided Secret Service protection for Ted Kennedy again — 400 days before Election Day. President Nixon and Ted Kennedy were longtime political enemies. Jimmy Carter was a sitting president being challenged by someone in his own party — yet these considerations did not stop either President Nixon or Carter from having the basic decency to realize that there could be all sorts of sociopaths and others looking to be the next Kennedy assassin.
Presidential candidate Jesse Jackson received protection earlier than usual, about 10 weeks before other candidates, John McCain was offered protection more than 500 days before Election Day, and both Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson received protection about a year before Election Day. Sitting administrations also approved early Secret Service protection for Reps Shirley Chisholm and Wilbur Mills, and even provided protection for the notorious segregationist Gov. George Wallace of Alabama. Same for presidential candidates Muskie, Humphrey, and McGovern, all afforded Secret Service much more than 120 days before Election Day." a quote from Gavin de Becker who RFK JR. is paying for private security.

DELAWARE has a city or two that are allowing CORPORATIONS to vote in elections and more are trying to give CORPORATIONS voting rights. We all know Biden sides with them, so he'll be getting their votes, as well as their officers and shareholders. They WANT a president who does not support unions, purposely sabotages student debt forgiveness, authorizes pipelines and drilling despite the damage to the environment, "forgot" to do the public option, supports forever wars (bombing Syria was one of his first acts on office), has done nothing about correcting the imbalance of the Supreme Court, never did anything to replace Louis DeJoy who is working to privatize the Post Office, has continued Trump's plan to privatize Medicare, has continued the building of Trump's border wall, has raked in millions from corrupt Ukrainian dealing along with his son Hunter, engages in cringe sniffing and groping of young people, forgets where he is, where he is supposed to go, who he is talking to, which war we're fighting, and has an attorney (Jerome Powell) instead of an ECONOMIST at the helm of the Federal Reserve to blame inflation on workers and punishes them with a plan to REDUCE EMPLOYMENT instead of putting the blame where it belongs: sheer corporate greed where corporations inflate prices while enjoying RECORD PROFITS. Anyone supporting Biden is either ignorant, not paying attention, indoctrinated by mainstream media, a member of the privileged class enriched by shareholder capitalism, or a DNC/establishment troll.

@seriouslyshortofnormal925
There is no reason the government cannot return to funding the basic operational costs of the Post Office with taxes the way it used to. It never should have been changed to begin with. All of that was designed to set it up for privatization, which goes against the Constitution.
You are also completely disregarding the fact that the Post Office had a large surplus until the law was passed that required the Post Office to prefund the retirement and healthcare costs of all its employees for 75 years into the future. That is what put the Post Office in the red. No other organization, for-profit or non-profit has ever been required to do that. It was designed specifically to set it up for privatization by making it insolvent.
My reading comprehension is just fine. You wrote:
""The founding fathers..."
Sure, but that's irrelevant to the reality that any service cannot be provided, Constitutionally mandated or not, at a continual loss."
You are the one mixing apples and oranges. The Constitution, as written by the founding fathers, mandates the government to operate a post office as an essential service to the public. The Constitution supersedes everything else, including issues of profit or loss. If it mandates something, it must be done. Period. Were it not for the outrageous changes made to the postal service, there would not be any loss. The post office would be as solvent as it was prior to that change if it's operating requirements had never been rigged for it to make it incur a loss.
In addition to that, the Post Office was poised to optimize the efficiency of its fleet with electric vehicles until Big Oil came in and nixed those plans which caused another huge expense for the Post Office.
There is simply no denying that the Post Office did just fine for decades, providing excellent service at minimal cost until the desire to privatize it sabotaged it at every turn.

@jasonhiggins6236 I was disappointed at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party and is also an independent. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she acquired it against all odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a very successful entrepreneur in AI. She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and it breaks my heart to see him groveling for votes for his so-called friend. Bernie is Biden's friend but it does not go both ways.
Where was all this collaboration when Bernie wanted to advance M4A and student loan forgiveness???? Biden only comes around when he wants Bernie to stump for him. Biden has known about these problems all along. He promised to raise the minimum wage and offer a public option. What happened to those promises? He had BOTH houses of Congress the first two years to pass any legislation he wanted. If Biden had done anything for the PEOPLE, instead of the elites, he wouldn't need to have Bernie stumping for him.
If Biden believed in democracy he would not have let the Dem party rig the primaries against Bernie (TWICE) and then against RFK Jr.
And when it comes to fairness for workers, Biden totally screwed the railroad workers.
I am fed up with voting for the lesser of two evils because it's lesser and it's evil. Telling people to vote blue out of FEAR is playing right into the hands of the the corrupt duopoly that has kept this country in a stranglehold for decades.
The DNC rigged the primary so that it would be impossible for RFK JR to win and the reason they did it is because he wanted to restore the Dem party to the values of FDR, JFK and his father, and that's the last thing the DNC wants. None of those great leaders would even recognize the Dem party of today that has sold out to the elites and turned its back on the working people of America. American's can't afford homes, they can't afford healthcare, or groceries. 60% of Americans have at least one chronic illness. When JFK was in office that number was 6%. What has Biden done about it? He won't even talk about the real issues plaguing this country and killing the middle class, or about ending the forever wars. Those are the issues RFK JR IS talking about and offering solutions for. He is the only one who cares enough to put his life on the line and run independent to represent the PEOPLE instead of the elites.
The only one who will get my vote will be the candidate who has EARNED it and that is RFK JR. Don't believe anything you hear about him on mainstream media. Go to his channel with a fair and open mind and hear him out, unedited, in his own words. Especially listen to his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. Listen and decide for yourself. You have nothing to lose.

Since you are so hung up on labels, you really should know what they mean.
"Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.[1][2] Liberals espouse various and often mutually warring views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] constitutional government and privacy rights." - Wikipedia.
What is scary about any of this?

The old Bernie that I supported in 2016 and 2020 would be calling out Biden for not giving us M4A under the national emergency clause of the the Social Security Act or passing it when he had BOTH houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration.. THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
Now Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS.
I am voting for the ONLY presidential candidate who has said he supports single payor healthcare, who will actually sign off on M4A: RFK JR. And KENNEDY is going to get to the root of the chronic disease epidemic that now plagues 60% of our population. That number was 6% when JFK was president and no one else is asking why. The NIH under Biden refuses to study it. Why is that? It is because the government agencies under Biden are acting according to the interests of Big Pharma and other corporate interests, , not the people.
KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.
It is the DNC that forced KENNEDY to run as an independent because they reject the traditional values that KENNEDY is running on.. The values of FDR, JRK and RFK Sr are no longer the values of the Blue party. It has sold itself to the elites and become one side of the duopoly that keeps the 99% of us being bilked by the 1%.
I am voting for the once in a lifetime candidate who can break the duopoly, who will free the 99% of us from being enslaved by the 1%. KENNEDY's support is MUCH higher than what the polls are reflecting. And whatever you do, do not believe anything the mainstream media says about him. With a fair and open mind, hear him out in his own words, unedited in his longform interviews on independent channels and the short videos on individual topics on his own channel. For an overview what his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. We need to end the forever wars, end the corporate capture of our government agencies, end the chronic disease epidemic, make the American dream of affording a home a reality again, tackle addiction, clean up our food supply and protect our environment, and protect our Constitutional rights. There is nothing to lose by hearing him out and everything to gain.
It's time to break the stranglehold of the uniparty and restore our government to one that works for the people. Millions of voters including former Dems, Repubs and Libertarians, along with Independents, Greens, never-voters and voters who have stayed home for decades are turning out to support RFK Jr. These are people like me who will NOT vote for Biden or Trump. For us it's RFK Jr or bust. Please join us.

This should not be a story about psychedelics. The real issue here is that the airline industry punishes pilots for even the slightest hint that they are seeking mental health help or should be doing so. That's the reason this guy tried to self medicate. No pilot goes 48 hours without sleep by choice. He was obviously having serious mental health issues for which he could not seek treatment without being grounded.
Anyone, in any profession, should be able to seek treatment without a threat to their career. Even going to marriage counseling is going to ground a pilot; thus the high rate of infidelity and divorce in the profession. He was not being irresponsible. He was playing by the industry's rules and trying to keep his job.
This pilot referenced feeling like it was a dream, so his condition may have worsened to the point of experiencing dissociation or depersonalization where a person feels like they are in a dream or altered reality , experiencing an event as though it were a movie, not knowing what is real and what is not. That would also explain his attempts to escape what he was experiencing by trying to take down the plane or open the emergency exit; both consistent with overwhelming terror. Anyone in a state of overwhelming fear is going to try to escape any way they can.
Furthermore, no one is talking about all the years he performed his job without incident and provided a service that society values. Instead, he has the eyes of the world judging him for one mistake because he was just as sick as a person with diabetes or cancer or any other chronic health condition that worsens if untreated. Until someone has walked in the shoes of a professional airline pilot, they have no idea of the pressure, the crazy schedules that constantly disrupt sleep cycles, and the constant expectation that they can perform as perfectly programmed robots instead of the very real human beings they are.

If Biden had done anything for the PEOPLE, instead of the elites, he wouldn't need to have Bernie stumping for him.
If Biden believed in democracy he would not have let the Dem party rig the primaries against Bernie (TWICE) and then against RFK Jr.
And when it comes to fairness for workers, Biden totally screwed the railroad workers.
I am fed up with voting for the lesser of two evils because it's lesser and it's evil. Telling people to vote blue out of FEAR is playing right into the hands of the the corrupt duopoly that has kept this country in a stranglehold for decades.
The DNC rigged the primary so that it would be impossible for RFK JR to win and the reason they did it is because he wanted to restore the Dem party to the values of FDR, JFK and his father, and that's the last thing the DNC wants. None of those great leaders would even recognize the Dem party of today that has sold out to the elites and turned its back on the working people of America. American's can't afford homes, they can't afford healthcare, or groceries. 60% of Americans have at least one chronic illness. When JFK was in office that number was 6%. What has Biden done about it? He won't even talk about the real issues plaguing this country and killing the middle class, or about ending the forever wars. Those are the issues RFK JR IS talking about and offering solutions for. He is the only one who cares enough to put his life on the line and run independent to represent the PEOPLE instead of the elites.
The only one who will get my vote will be the candidate who has EARNED it and that is RFK JR. Don't believe anything you hear about him on mainstream media. Go to his channel with a fair and open mind and hear him out, unedited, in his own words. Especially listen to his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. Listen and decide for yourself. You have nothing to lose.

I thought so at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

This should not be a story about psychedelics. The real issue here is that the airline industry punishes pilots for even the slightest hint that they are seeking mental health help or should be doing so. That's the reason this guy tried to self medicate. No pilot goes 48 hours without sleep by choice. He was obviously having serious mental health issues for which he could not seek treatment without being grounded.
Anyone, in any profession, should be able to seek treatment without a threat to their career. Even going to marriage counseling is going to ground a pilot; thus the high rate of infidelity and divorce in the profession. He was not being irresponsible. He was playing by the industry's rules and trying to keep his job.
This pilot referenced feeling like it was a dream, so his condition may have worsened to the point of experiencing dissociation or depersonalization where a person feels like they are in a dream or altered reality , experiencing an event as though it were a movie, not knowing what is real and what is not. That would also explain his attempts to escape what he was experiencing by trying to take down the plane or open the emergency exit; both consistent with overwhelming terror. Anyone in a state of overwhelming fear is going to try to escape any way they can.
Furthermore, no one is talking about all the years he performed his job without incident and provided a service that society values. Instead, he has the eyes of the world judging him for one mistake because he was just as sick as a person with diabetes or cancer or any other chronic health condition that worsens if untreated. Until someone has walked in the shoes of a professional airline pilot, they have no idea of the pressure, the crazy schedules that constantly disrupt sleep cycles, and the constant expectation that they can perform as perfectly programmed robots instead of the very real human beings they are.
The story here should be about getting the airline industry to treat pilots like human beings. Rising and other media really missed the mark on this story.

RFK Jr is in superb health, very physically fit. You can see videos of him lifting weights, sky diving, hiking, climbing cliffs, diving and more. He works out daily and has for years. Good health for all us is one of the cornerstones of his platform. His voice issue arose when he was in his 40's and developed Spasmodic Dysphonic which causes involuntary constriction of the voice box muscles. It has no effect on his overall health. He had a new treatment in Japan about a year ago and his voice has been very slowly improving ever since. Anyway, what is important is the content of his speech, not the quality of his voice. He is, by far, the most intelligent, honest, transparent, compassionate, energetic candidate in the race and he has my vote for sure. Please go to his YT channel, Team Kennedy. where he has short clips regarding specific issues and be sure to watch his rebuttal to the State of the Union speech a few days ago. He also has done many long-form interviews on other YT channels where he talks about everything in depth and it's really interesting. He wants to clean up our own government and prevent the World Economic Forum and AI from infringing on our freedoms. He is the only one talking about issues that affect all of us and he is the once-in-a-lifetime candidate who can break the stranglehold the corrupt duopoly/uniparty has on our country. He has my vote for sure and I hope you check him out for yourself.

Yes we have a problem. Bernie is backing a candidate who is owned by Big Oil whose VP is my governor who sided with Big Oil in letting them put a pipeline carrying filthy toxic tar sands across our pristine wetlands, against the will of most of our citizens.
There is a choice in this election. RFK JR has devoted his life to protecting the environment, suing the same corrupt corporations that are funding Harris's and Trump's campaigns. He is the only one who will clean up the government agencies that are now controlled by these corporations, so that they do their job and protect the environment.
The latest poll on X (now the nation's leading source of news) has Kennedy at 35.9 % and Harris at 11.9%
People are waking up. They are not being fooled by the msm narrative, the smears, the video clips taken out of , context and spun, the rigged polls that make it hard to even select his name, and the political theater artificially boosting Harris.
Is it any wonder these corporations, via the political establishment, are doing everything to smear Kennedy and thwart his campaign? Why do you think they are afraid to include him in the debates? It's because he tells the truth and has common sense solutions to issues the other two are ignoring. They want people to believe they must vote for Harris to defeat Trump, when the truth is that Kennedy is the only one who can defeat Trump and heal the division. Instead of believing the msm sound bites, rigged polls and smears, please do your own research on RFK Jr and THEN decide for yourself who has EARNED your vote.

I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and it breaks my heart to see him groveling for votes for his so-called friend. Bernie is Biden's friend but it does not go both ways.
Where was all this working together when Bernie wanted to advance M4A and student loan forgiveness???? Biden only comes around when he wants Bernie to stump for him. Biden has known about these problems all along. He promised to raise the minimum wage and offer a public option. What happened to those promises? He had BOTH houses of Congress the first two years to pass any legislation he wanted. If Biden had done anything for the PEOPLE, instead of the elites, he wouldn't need to have Bernie stumping for him.
If Biden believed in democracy he would not have let the Dem party rig the primaries against Bernie (TWICE) and then against RFK Jr.

I was disappointed at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin).

On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

@sickandtiredofbeingsickand Think about what you just wrote. You are parroting the DNC's tired talking point that they bring out every cycle: "vote against the other guy". Doesn't it tell you something when that is their greatest inducement to get people to vote for their candidate? Aren't you "sick and tired" of voting for the lesser of two evil and always still getting evil?
Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump in 2016 and 2020?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. He is not a conspiracy theorist, nor is he against vaccines. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited.
Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil.
THE TIRED GAME OF VOTING BASED ON FEAR HAS TO END. Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves, their children and the world

@lindas-k5766 This is the comment I posted:
" I would rather vote for the most intelligent, honest candidate with a 40 year track record of successfully fighting corporations and corrupt government agencies to protect our health and our environment. A candidate committed to ending the forever wars and the chronic disease epidemic that plagues 60% of our population. A candidate who inspires hope instead of fear, and optimism instead of complacency. A candidate with the physical, mental and spiritual health to carry this nation to a much better future. That candidate is RFK JR."
It is impossible how anyone who looks at facts could have mistaken this as a description of Biden. Instead of resorting to the same kind of juvenile name-calling Trump engages in, show the courtesy of walking through the comment to highlight what applies to RFK Jr and what applies to Biden:
1. RFK Jr: probably has the highest IQ of any candidate since his own father.
Biden: has an extensive history of plagiarism including plagiarizing RFK Sr. Highly intelligent people don't need to copy others. He also claimed he graduated at the top of his law school class when independent fact checkers showed by he graduated in the bottom 3% of his class.
2. RFK JR: is also the most honest candidate we have had since his father. In spite of all the people who spin his words and take his statements out of context to make him appear otherwise, no one has ever been able to document a single fact he got wrong. 'That is why he has never had to retract anything he has written. If that were not true, he would have been sued repeatedly but that has never happened.
Biden: has been caught lying and plagiarizing numerous times. He even tried to tell us that his son Beau died in battle when we all know he died of a brain tumor. What kind of person lies about their own child's death?
3. RFK Jr: has spent the last 40 years suing corporations and corrupt government agencies to protect our health and the environment.
Biden: has never in his life brought a single suit against big corporations or corrupt government agencies. If you think otherwise you are very misinformed because Biden was too busy being the "Credit Card Senator" who has been doing favors for Wall Street from the time he entered Congress. Not only has he done absolutely nothing FOR the environment, he has authorized drilling and pipelines that are harmful to the environment.
4. RFK JR: is committed to ending the forever wars that are draining taxpayer dollars and escalating our debt while people at home suffer and go without the basic necessities of life.
Biden: has a history of holding the distinction of being the singular biggest war hawk in the Democratic party. There has never been a war he did not vote for, ever. Within one month of taking office he ordered attacks on Syria. He sabotaged Zelensky's signing of the Minsk accords and provoked Putin to attack Ukraine. The U..S. could have solved the homelessness crisis for less than what has been spent on Ukraine, but of course that would not have enriched the military industrial complex, so of course Biden chose a proxy war over helping America's homeless, which includes veterans.
5. RFK JR: will end the chronic disease epidemic that plagues 60% of our population. He will do this by ordering NIH studies to identify the reasons for the chronic disease rate to skyrocket from just 6% in JFK's term to tenfold that rate today, which includes young children who have never experienced normal health. We have the data, it just need to be studied but Biden will not remove the obstacles to that because chronic disease is just like a perpetual annuity for Big Pharma and they do not want it solved.
Biden: has never uttered a word about the rate of chronic disease in this country. I doubt he even knows what the rate is, much less have a plan to end it.
6. RFK Jr: inspires HOPE and optimism. He is the same type of old-school Democrat as FDR, JFK and RFK Sr. who inspired people with their visions for a better future even in the darkest times. He does not threaten people against voting for his opponents, instead he is focused on positive common sense solutions for the problems that affect every American.
Biden: has nothing to trade on but FEAR; fear of Trump. His only "accomplishment" was his inflation reduction act that was nothing more than a windfall for corporate vendors. It did noting for the homeless, the food insecure, addicts, or victims of crime - all symptoms of a failing empire. He has mismanaged the economy. Inflation continues to spiral out of control while wages fall further behind, and Biden has transferred more wealth to the top 1% than any president in history. He does not even talk about the problems we see all around us. All he can do is try to instill more FEAR in voters.
7. RFK Jr is physically and mentally fit. He would put most 20-year-olds to shame in a gym. And his spiritual consciousness gives him a moral courage that is simply unmatched by any candidate since his father.
Biden is obviously unfit both physically and mentally. His slow, stiff awkward gait and arm movements are that of a very old man who does not project an image of strength and vitality because he has no strength or vitality. Even more obvious is his cognitive decline. The videos of him being confused about where he is, mumbling incoherently, mistaking attendants for foreign leaders, claiming he recently spoke with people who have been dead for years, claiming members of his family earned war medals in battles that did not even occur in their lifetimes, mistaking his own wife for his sister, getting lost exiting stages, trailing off as he is talking nonsensically and then just walking off as stunned interview hosts look on in alarm, and the list goes on. He cannot even manage to read the que cards prepared for his scripted appearances.
If this were not the case, there would be no reason for him to refuse to debate his opponents. The truth is that he is incapable of debating RFK Jr or even Trump. No one in their right mind would vote for someone who is clearly in the grips of senility.
And as far as Biden's spiritual status, it does not bode well for him that he lacks the moral courage to not only debate his opponents, as he should, but has refused Secret Service protection for RFK Jr FIVE TIMES in spite of his family history of assassinations and the fact that his life has been threatened repeated, but saw fit to order it for Nikki Haley who has had no such threats.
Of the entire Kennedy family that numbers well over a hundred, the vast majority of them support RFK Jr and many are working on his campaign.
As for the mere handful of vocal outliers, every single one of them is employed by or has close connections to the Biden administration, so they are merely looking out for their own personal interests, not the country's. Their behavior is abhorrent and goes against everything JFK and RFK Sr stood for. And the fact that Biden would even consider trying to use a man's own family to discredit him should tell you how ruthless and morally bankrupt Biden is.
RFK Jr always takes the moral high ground, he tells the TRUTH and he is committed to serving PEOPLE, not corporations. None of that can be said of Biden.
You need to do a lot more homework before you will see the truth. Good luck.

We have the data, it just need to be studied but Biden will not remove the obstacles to that because chronic disease is just like a perpetual annuity for Big Pharma and they do not want it solved.
Biden: has never uttered a word about the rate of chronic disease in this country. I doubt he even knows what the rate is, much less have a plan to end it.
6. RFK Jr: inspires HOPE and optimism. He is the same type of old-school Democrat as FDR, JFK and RFK Sr. who inspired people with their visions for a better future even in the darkest times. He does not threaten people against voting for his opponents, instead he is focused on positive common sense solutions for the problems that affect every American.
Biden: has nothing to trade on but FEAR; fear of Trump. His only "accomplishment" was his inflation reduction act that was nothing more than a windfall for corporate vendors. It did noting for the homeless, the food insecure, addicts, or victims of crime - all symptoms of a failing empire. He has mismanaged the economy. Inflation continues to spiral out of control while wages fall further behind, and Biden has transferred more wealth to the top 1% than any president in history. He does not even talk about the problems we see all around us. All he can do is try to instill more FEAR in voters.
7. RFK Jr is physically and mentally fit. He would put most 20-year-olds to shame in a gym. And his spiritual consciousness gives him a moral courage that is simply unmatched by any candidate since his father.
Biden is obviously unfit both physically and mentally. His slow, stiff awkward gait and arm movements are that of a very old man who does not project an image of strength and vitality because he has no strength or vitality. Even more obvious is his cognitive decline. The videos of him being confused about where he is, mumbling incoherently, mistaking attendants for foreign leaders, claiming he recently spoke with people who have been dead for years, claiming members of his family earned war medals in battles that did not even occur in their lifetimes, mistaking his own wife for his sister, getting lost exiting stages, trailing off as he is talking nonsensically and then just walking off as stunned interview hosts look on in alarm, and the list goes on. He cannot even manage to read the que cards prepared for his scripted appearances.
If this were not the case, there would be no reason for him to refuse to debate his opponents. The truth is that he is incapable of debating RFK Jr or even Trump. No one in their right mind would vote for someone who is clearly in the grips of senility.
And as far as Biden's spiritual status, it does not bode well for him that he lacks the moral courage to not only debate his opponents, as he should, but has refused Secret Service protection for RFK Jr FIVE TIMES in spite of his family history of assassinations and the fact that his life has been threatened repeated, but saw fit to order it for Nikki Haley who has had no such threats.
Of the entire Kennedy family that numbers well over a hundred, the vast majority of them support RFK Jr and many are working on his campaign.
As for the mere handful of vocal outliers, every single one of them is employed by or has close connections to the Biden administration, so they are merely looking out for their own personal interests, not the country's. Their behavior is abhorrent and goes against everything JFK and RFK Sr stood for. And the fact that Biden would even consider trying to use a man's own family to discredit him should tell you how ruthless and morally bankrupt Biden is.
RFK Jr always takes the moral high ground, he tells the TRUTH and he is committed to serving PEOPLE, not corporations. None of that can be said of Biden.
You need to do a lot more homework before you will see the truth. Good luck.

@mjh4868 He has now gathered enough signatures to be on EVERY state ballot and in some it's only a matter of official certification.
With respect to the address issue, at the time this decision was made, it was obvious that Tulsi was at the top of RFK JR'S list of VP choices which also included Jesse Ventura and Rand Paul, and Shanahan was not even up for consideration, so there was no incentive for him to not use CA as his address. Shanahan herself disclosed this in an interview where she said she was at a dinner with Kennedy months after he filed where the group was discussing the top VP picks that were either not agreeing to run or whose viability had come into question when her partner said to Kennedy, "What about Nicole?" That was the turning point in the VP selection and that was when RFK Jr's team sent out emails asking supporters to rank the qualities they wanted in a VP.
Many months prior to that, RFK Jr had consulted his election attorneys about where to claim residency since he was in both NY and CA. They based their advice of claiming NY on the fact that NY is where he has been a resident since the age of nine, it's where he has his law license to earn a living and his law practice is in NY, he pays his income taxes to NY, his driver's license and registration are in NY, and all his recreational licenses are in NY including his falconry license which he authored NY's state exam for. There is also the fact that when he agreed to move to the west coast to be with Cheryl Hines, it was agreed that upon her retirement they would return to NY to reside full time.
Over the years, prior to his marriage to Hines, he also lived in other states where he was trying cases for long periods of time, sometimes years in cases where the lawsuits where drawn out, It would have been absurd for him to have to pass multiple states' bar exams and move his permanent residency every time he tried a case in another state without having any idea in advance how long the case would last. The only practical solution was to maintain his NY license and keep his law firm in NY. His life is anchored in NY.

I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and it breaks my heart to see him groveling for votes for his so-called friend. Bernie is Biden's friend but it does not go both ways.
Where was all this working together when Bernie wanted to advance M4A and student loan forgiveness???? Biden only comes around when he wants Bernie to stump for him. Biden has known about these problems all along. He promised to raise the minimum wage and offer a public option. What happened to those promises? He had BOTH houses of Congress the first two years to pass any legislation he wanted. If Biden had done anything for the PEOPLE, instead of the elites, he wouldn't need to have Bernie stumping for him.
If Biden believed in democracy he would not have let the Dem party rig the primaries against Bernie (TWICE) and then against RFK Jr.
And when it comes to fairness for workers, Biden totally screwed the railroad workers.
I am fed up with voting for the lesser of two evils because it's lesser and it's evil. Telling people to vote blue out of FEAR is playing right into the hands of the the corrupt duopoly that has kept this country in a stranglehold for decades.
The DNC rigged the primary so that it would be impossible for RFK JR to win and the reason they did it is because he wanted to restore the Dem party to the values of FDR, JFK and his father, and that's the last thing the DNC wants. None of those great leaders would even recognize the Dem party of today that has sold out to the elites and turned its back on the working people of America. American's can't afford homes, they can't afford healthcare, or groceries. 60% of Americans have at least one chronic illness. When JFK was in office that number was 6%. What has Biden done about it? He won't even talk about the real issues plaguing this country and killing the middle class, or about ending the forever wars. Those are the issues RFK JR IS talking about and offering solutions for. He is the only one who cares enough to put his life on the line and run independent to represent the PEOPLE instead of the elites.
The only one who will get my vote will be the candidate who has EARNED it and that is RFK JR. Don't believe anything you hear about him on mainstream media. Go to his channel with a fair and open mind and hear him out, unedited, in his own words. Especially listen to his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. Listen and decide for yourself. You have nothing to lose.

@johnmaisonneuve9057 I hear what you are saying but please allow me to take issue with a couple of points. First, the on-going strategy of voting for the lesser of two evils has only succeeded in pushing BOTH parties farther to the right than where the republican party was in the 1960's and that trend will continue as long as we keep playing into their hands.
The Biden administration had both houses of Congress for an entire two years when it did nothing to move things to the left; instead it fought the progressive in its own party. It did nil for the American workers but gave a windfall to corporate vendors via the infrastructure bill. And the way Biden pulled the rug out from under the railroad workers was shocking even to people who already did not support him. Even worse, the amount of c__s__ship Biden introduced 37 hours after taking office is unlike anything we have seen in the history of this country. THAT is truly frightening. It is also terrifying that Biden is going along with the agenda of the WEF to roll out more mass surveillance of civilians and CBDC that will enable the government to freeze anyone's bank account at will, preventing them getting food or gas or paying their mortgage based on social credit scoring. They are planning to control every facet of our lives and Kennedy is the only one willing to stand up to it. The WEF's agenda is much more frightening than anything we have ever seen. Biden himself authorized the first roll-out of CBDC by the Federal Reserve last July so it is being implemented right now and will not stop until it is our sole means of transaction and savings.
If you really think the Dem party is sympathetic to lower and middle class Americans, then please ask yourself:
Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. They try to smear him by claiming he is a conspiracy theorist, and is against vaccines; he is neither of those things. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited. "The other narrative the DNC and msm is pushing is the notion that Kennedy is going to make Biden lose; it's just not true. Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy CAN WIN this,. He is a realist and he is practical and he would not be literally putting his life on the line to run and asking working Americans for donations if he did not believe he could win.
Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. THE POLLSTERS ARE UNDERREPORTING KENNEDY'S NUMBERS. They were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are strong indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. Please don't fall for that ploy.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden? And they passed this rule AFTER RFK Jr had already campaigned in those states. Any party that does something like that cannot be trusted. Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY. That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia where the only candidates the people get to vote for are chosen by those in power.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is imperative that we vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE and will safeguard our freedom. Kennedy is the ONLY candidate talking about the issues that 99% of us really care about like ending the corporate capture of government agencies, ending the forever wars, rebuilding the middle class and making home ownership affordable, ending the chronic disease epidemic, protecting our constitutional rights, preventing us from having to live in a surveillance state and have it control every facet of our lives, stopping the takeover of small businesses by private equity, cleaning up our food and our soil, and returning our government to We The People, not the corporations. Kennedy is our chance to break the cycle of fear voting and duopoly control.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting out of FEAR for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil THE TIRED GAME OF VOTING BASED ON FEAR HAS TO END. It only leads to more fear.
Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves , their children and the world
You are right about Germany in the 1930's; it was a fascist country and that is exactly what the US has become; a fascist oligarchy where state and corporate interests have merged and are keeping workers as the underclass. We are being heavily c__s_red, because of Biden, just like the German people were. That always leads to abuse of the powerless and empowerment of those who rule, regardless of their party affiliation. RFK Jr is the ONLY candidate calling this out and committed to unraveling corporate influence over our government and institutions, and ending c__s__ship. He is solidly pro-union and he CAN win this election.
I am a boomer and he has more integrity than any candidate I have seen in my adult life. This is probably our country's last chance to break the duopoly and secure a government that works for all of us, not the 1%. I hope you will listen to his State of the Union speech three weeks ago and reconsider.

@curiouscat3384 With all due respect, I am not the one wasting my vote. As one half of the uniparty, the Dem party has proven over the last 60 years that they will never allow real gains for workers. They have continually squeezed the working class to the point where the middle class has been gutted and our communities are filled with homeless and hungry Americans. They have had plenty of time and opportunities to reverse this but they turn their backs because it would go against the interests of their donors. They have COMPLETELY sold out, the party is OWNED by the 1% and their objective is to keep us desperate and fighting amongst ourselves over crumbs.
I will not vote for a party that rigs primaries and fights to keep opponents off the ballot and then whines about saving "democracy". We live in a fascist oligarchy and both of our corrupt parties are responsible for it.
Kennedy is our once in a lifetime chance to break the stranglehold the duopoly has had on this country for decades and that is why he is garnering so much support from all sides.
Any argument that RFK Jr is going to increase the chances of either of his opponents is false. KENNEDY is a spoiler for ALL the other candidates; that's the whole idea of an election. POLLSTERS ARE UNDERREPORTING RFK JR'S SUPPORT. They were totally wrong in 2016 and they are even farther off this time. There are indications it is on purpose to bolster the duopoly, It’s propaganda.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly.
All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil. They know the tired game of voting based on fear has to end.
They are voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them hope of a future for themselves, their children and the world.

I thought so at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

This should not be a story about psychedelics. The real issue here is that the airline industry punishes pilots for even the slightest hint that they are seeking mental health help or should be doing so. That's the reason this guy tried to self medicate. No pilot goes 48 hours without sleep by choice. He was obviously having serious mental health issues for which he could not seek treatment without being grounded.
Anyone, in any profession, should be able to seek treatment without a threat to their career. Even going to marriage counseling is going to ground a pilot; thus the high rate of infidelity and divorce in the profession. He was not being irresponsible. He was playing by the industry's rules and trying to keep his job.
This pilot referenced feeling like it was a dream, so his condition may have worsened to the point of experiencing dissociation or depersonalization where a person feels like they are in a dream or altered reality , experiencing an event as though it were a movie, not knowing what is real and what is not. That would also explain his attempts to escape what he was experiencing by trying to take down the plane or open the emergency exit; both consistent with overwhelming terror. Anyone in a state of overwhelming fear is going to try to escape any way they can.
Furthermore, no one is talking about all the years he performed his job without incident and provided a service that society values. Instead, he has the eyes of the world judging him for one mistake because he was just as sick as a person with diabetes or cancer or any other chronic health condition that worsens if untreated. Until someone has walked in the shoes of a professional airline pilot, they have no idea of the pressure, the crazy schedules that constantly disrupt sleep cycles, and the constant expectation that they can perform as perfectly programmed robots instead of the very real human beings they are.

The old Bernie that I supported in 2016 and 2020 would be calling out Biden for not giving us M4A under the national emergency clause of the the Social Security Act or passing it when he had BOTH houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration.. THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
Now Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS.
I am voting for the ONLY presidential candidate who has said he supports single payor healthcare, who will actually sign off on M4A: RFK JR. And KENNEDY is going to get to the root of the chronic disease epidemic that now plagues 60% of our population. That number was 6% when JFK was president and no one else is asking why. The NIH under Biden refuses to study it. Why is that? It is because the government agencies under Biden are acting according to the interests of Big Pharma and other corporate interests, , not the people.
KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.
It is the DNC that forced KENNEDY to run as an independent because they reject the traditional values that KENNEDY is running on.. The values of FDR, JRK and RFK Sr are no longer the values of the Blue party. It has sold itself to the elites and become one side of the duopoly that keeps the 99% of us being bilked by the 1%.
I am voting for the once in a lifetime candidate who can break the duopoly, who will free the 99% of us from being enslaved by the 1%. KENNEDY's support is MUCH higher than what the polls are reflecting. And whatever you do, do not believe anything the mainstream media says about him. With a fair and open mind, hear him out in his own words, unedited in his longform interviews on independent channels and the short videos on individual topics on his own channel. For an overview what his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. We need to end the forever wars, end the corporate capture of our government agencies, end the chronic disease epidemic, make the American dream of affording a home a reality again, tackle addiction, clean up our food supply and protect our environment, and protect our Constitutional rights. There is nothing to lose by hearing him out and everything to gain.
It's time to break the stranglehold of the uniparty and restore our government to one that works for the people. Millions of voters including former Dems, Repubs and Libertarians, along with Independents, Greens, never-voters and voters who have stayed home for decades are turning out to support RFK Jr. These are people like me who will NOT vote for Biden or Trump. For us it's RFK Jr or bust. Please join us.

@nancygibson604 Repeating the same behavior and expecting a different outcome is the very definition of insanity. Do you see the condition our country is in under this administration? Sending hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars to Ukraine to feed the MIC while Americans contend with not having universal health care as the epidemic of chronic disease, addictions, suicide, homelessness, hunger, skyrocketing home prices, pervasive hopelessness and despair are all spiraling out of control is your idea of a better life??? Neither party is even acknowledging these glaring problems, much less working on solutions. People are living on credit, can't afford gas to get to work and are angry and fed up to the point of just wanting to throw a wrench in the system by voting for someone like Trump and you are still stuck on vote corporate blue no matter who? Were you asleep when the DNC stole two elections from Bernie? Have you noticed the DNC completely rigged the primary against RFK Jr because he intends to unravel the corporate capture of government agencies, end the hemorrhaging of money to Ukraine and the MIC, stop the endless wars, end the chronic disease epidemic that is so profitable for Big Pharma, restore American's prosperity, end government censorship and hold corporate polluters accountable for cleaning up their messes?
Sadly we lost Bernie to the establishment and he is now groveling for piecemeal pieces of legislation when he could have changed the world if he had only had the courage and been willing to risk his membership in the club. RFK Jr. has the courage Bernie didn't have and he doesn't want to be a member of their corporate owned club. He is a solid old school Democrat in the mold of FDR/JFK/RFK who is willing to put everything on the line to take back this country for the American people and bring solutions to each and every problem mentioned above. Who else is willing to do that? We have a once in a lifetime chance to support a real leader with intelligence, integrity, courage and compassion unmatched by any other candidate and I, for one, am not going to miss this opportunity to do everything I can to see that he is elected in 2024. I strongly urge you and everyone else who cares about our country and wants a better life for all Americans to do the same.

@bozinoski Give RFK Jr. a chance. He is a solid old school Democrat in the mold of FDR/JFK/RFK, not like the corporatists that have taken over the corrupt Dem party, which is why the DNC rigged the primary against him so that he had zero chance of getting the nomination. So now he is doing what Bernie refused to do; he is putting everything on the line running independent against the corporate duopoly establishment to win back this country for the American people. I supported Bernie for years and am heartbroken that things turned out the way they did. But RFK Jr is the hope we all need. He is far and away the most intelligent, thoughtful, reasonable, honest and compassionate candidate I have seen in my lifetime and I support him. He has integrity, listens to average people, sees their pain and genuinely cares. His short videos and some of his speeches are on Team Kennedy but he also has some great long form interviews on YT channels like Theo Von, Dr. Mark Hyman, Math Hoffa, Marcus Aubrey and Tiger Belly to name a few.
His depth of knowledge on so many subjects would serve our nation well.
Rudetube is shadow banning his videos because he is a threat to the establishment, so finding some of his videos may be a challenge but well worth the effort. We need to get the corruption out of our government and have it work for the people instead of special interests and corporations. RFK Jr is the one best equipped to make that happen. He has real solutions for real people. Check him out. I think you will be glad you did. Team Kennedy ❤ KENNEDY 2024❤

@Electronick7714 Sadly Bernie abandoned his movement to shepherd voters into the party of his "good friend Joe" who said that even if both the House and Senate were to pass M4A he would veto it. What kind of person says something like that? The same kind of person who betrayed the RR workers, taking away their right to strike. That is not fighting for people. The Dems are just one half of the corporate owned duopoly that keeps Americans living paycheck to paycheck and Bernie is betraying everything he used to stand for when he supports them. It's pathetic seeing him grovel for these piecemeal patches of legislation when he could have changed the country if he had only been willing to run independent. He refused because he didn't want to risk his membership in Joe's club. Bernie conceded when he could have fought. I supported him for years and he broke my heart. Mine and millions of others. But now there is hope. RFK Jr. is putting everything on the line to do what Bernie could have and should have done. Kennedy is a solid old-school democrat in the mold of FDR, JFK and his father, RFK, but he is running as an independent to break the corrupt corporate duopoly that has our country in a stranglehold. He has been suing greedy unscrupulous corporations for 40 years and winning. He knows how they have captured the government agencies that are supposed to regulate them and he knows how to unravel the corruption. He is a real threat to the establishment which is why they are smearing him with distortions and outright lies at every turn. On his second day in office, Biden issued orders to censor RFK Jr. Why? Because when people actually listen to him they are won over and impressed by the most intelligent, articulate, reasonable, honest and compassionate public advocate of our lifetime, and anyone who is not giving him fair consideration is doing a disservice to themselves and our country.
The current administration is hemorrhaging hundreds of billions of dollars to the MIC via Ukraine while telling us we can't afford universal health care. The epidemic of chronic illness, homelessness, hunger, addiction, suicides, inflation, debt and despair are spiraling out of control and they are not even acknowledging these problems, much less formulating remedies. RFK Jr listens to regular people and he sees the pain of struggling Americans. He plans to stop the flow of money to Ukraine immediately, close military bases around the world and trim the military budget from hundreds of billions of dollars for the forever wars around the world to $500 million per year for top not defense of the homeland and redirect the difference to address the aforementioned issues that are currently being ignored. He will restore the American dream of home ownership with 3% government guaranteed mortgages and disincentivize corporate investors from buying up the single family homes and manipulating the housing market. What other politician is talking about this? Which one of them cares? He is the only one. He went to East Palestine Ohio to learn what the victims of the Norfolk Southern catastrophe are going through. Biden has ignored them, and so has Bernie. But Biden finds time to go to Ukraine and Israel, not to mention his vacations. So if you are going to recognize a fighter, you have to look at RFK Jr. We have a once in a lifetime chance to vote for someone who is truly willing to go all out to fight to give this country back to the American people and if we want a better life for ourselves and future generations, we will put him in the White House in 2024. Team Kennedy ❤KENNEDY 2024❤

@kerivastine2376 He has absolutely done a LOT, but it's NOT good. For starters, a LOT of money sent to Ukraine that ends up in the hands of the MIC, enriching the fat cats in Congress who hold their stocks while Ukrainians are being slaughtered. A LOT of pain to the RR workers when he pulled their right to strike away from them and they ended up with nothing. A LOT of forgetting to give us the public option he promised. A LOT in inflation. A LOT of screwing up the student debt forgiveness he ran on. A LOT of turning the promised $2,000 stimulus check into a $1,400 check. A LOT of making sure Big Pharma made an absolute killing (pun intended) on the covid vaccines. A LOT of lying about what those vaccines would and would not do and how safe they are. A LOT of ignoring the escalating crises around homelessness, hunger, suicide, out of reach home prices, and a myriad of related human tragedies stemming from the neglect and mismanagement of this administration. Do I need to mention the Diamond Willow project? How about the fact that he has never bothered to visit the victims of the Norfolk Southern derailment in East Palestine OH even though he's had a LOT of time to do so and there were a LOT of requests for him to show up? And what about the people of Lahaina being apportioned a mere $700 per household. He COULD be doing a LOT to get FEMA to increase that amount, but he can't be bothered even though he's always fired up to get more and more money for Ukraine on top of the HUNDREDS OF BILLION$$$ he has already sent. plagiarism

The old Bernie that I supported in 2016 and 2020 would be calling out Biden for not giving us M4A under the national emergency clause of the the Social Security Act or passing it when he had BOTH houses of Congress for the first two years of his administration.. THERE WERE TWO WAYS BIDEN COULD HAVE GIVEN US M4A and HE REFUSED.
Now Bernie is praising Biden for giving us CRUMBS.
I am voting for the ONLY presidential candidate who has said he supports single payor healthcare, who will actually sign off on M4A: RFK JR. And KENNEDY is going to get to the root of the chronic disease epidemic that now plagues 60% of our population. That number was 6% when JFK was president and no one else is asking why. The NIH under Biden refuses to study it. Why is that? It is because the government agencies under Biden are acting according to the interests of Big Pharma and other corporate interests, , not the people.
KENNEDY is the candidate who aligns most closely with Bernie's true values, NOT Biden.
The DNC rigged the Dem primary against RFK Jr even more than they did against Bernie, the kind of rigging that forced Hillary and Biden down our throats once and now the DNC is doing it again. That is NOT democracy. It's oligarchy.
It is the DNC that forced KENNEDY to run as an independent because they reject the traditional values that KENNEDY is running on.. The values of FDR, JRK and RFK Sr are no longer the values of the Blue party. It has sold itself to the elites and become one side of the duopoly that keeps the 99% of us being bilked by the 1%.
I am voting for the once in a lifetime candidate who can break the duopoly, who will free the 99% of us from being enslaved by the 1%. KENNEDY's support is MUCH higher than what the polls are reflecting. And whatever you do, do not believe anything the mainstream media says about him. With a fair and open mind, hear him out in his own words, unedited in his longform interviews on independent channels and the short videos on individual topics on his own channel. For an overview what his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. We need to end the forever wars, end the corporate capture of our government agencies, end the chronic disease epidemic, make the American dream of affording a home a reality again, tackle addiction, clean up our food supply and protect our environment, and protect our Constitutional rights. There is nothing to lose by hearing him out and everything to gain.
It's time to break the stranglehold of the uniparty and restore our government to one that works for the people. Millions of voters including former Dems, Repubs and Libertarians, along with Independents, Greens, never-voters and voters who have stayed home for decades are turning out to support RFK Jr. These are people like me who will NOT vote for Biden or Trump. For us it's RFK Jr or bust. Please join us.

I was disappointed at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

I'm done with Bernie. RFK Jr will stop the flow of funds to Ukraine on day one and negotiate a settlement with Russia. He walked the picket line with UAW strikers, he will free Assange, seal the border, end the revolving door between government agencies and the corporations they are supposed to regulate, end the chronic disease epidemic in this country, clean up our environment, end censorship, forgive student debt, give us a public option as a path to Medicare For All and restore the American dream of home ownership. He will separate the intelligence gathering and operations arms of the CIA to stop US coups of governments around the world. He will close military bases around the world, trimming the defense budget to $500 M per year thereby freeing up hundreds of billions of dollars to fix the problems in our own country. The health, well-being and prosperity of regular Americans are at the center of his platform. He has empathy and compassion for people. He is running independent to dismantle the stranglehold the duopoly has on our country and is willing to stand up to the hatred and criticism that Bernie was never willing to endure. He's our best hope and he's the one I'm voting for. If you haven't looked at his platform, please do so and consider supporting him.

This should not be a story about psychedelics. The real issue here is that the airline industry punishes pilots for even the slightest hint that they are seeking mental health help or should be doing so. That's the reason this guy tried to self medicate. No pilot goes 48 hours without sleep by choice. He was obviously having serious mental health issues for which he could not seek treatment without being grounded.
Anyone, in any profession, should be able to seek treatment without a threat to their career. Even going to marriage counseling is going to ground a pilot; thus the high rate of infidelity and divorce in the profession. He was not being irresponsible. He was playing by the industry's rules and trying to keep his job.
This pilot referenced feeling like it was a dream, so his condition may have worsened to the point of experiencing dissociation or depersonalization where a person feels like they are in a dream or altered reality , experiencing an event as though it were a movie, not knowing what is real and what is not. That would also explain his attempts to escape what he was experiencing by trying to take down the plane or open the emergency exit; both consistent with overwhelming terror. Anyone in a state of overwhelming fear is going to try to escape any way they can.
Furthermore, no one is talking about all the years he performed his job without incident and provided a service that society values. Instead, he has the eyes of the world judging him for one mistake because he was just as sick as a person with diabetes or cancer or any other chronic health condition that worsens if untreated. Until someone has walked in the shoes of a professional airline pilot, they have no idea of the pressure, the crazy schedules that constantly disrupt sleep cycles, and the constant expectation that they can perform as perfectly programmed robots instead of the very real human beings they are.
The story here should be about getting the airline industry to treat pilots like human beings. Rising and other media really missed the mark on this story.

Remember how Biden and the Squad betrayed the RR workers, taking away their right to strike??? Do you really want more of what we have now: epidemic levels of homelessness, hunger, chronic illness, suicides, despair, debt, skyrocketing home prices, student debt and corporate capture of government agencies by the MIC, Big Pharma, Big Insurance and Wall Street??? Why would anyone vote for MORE of this? Repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome is the very definition of insanity. Neither Biden, Harris or any of the Dems even acknowledge these problems, much less try to find solutions for them. RFK Jr walked the picket line with UAW strikers before Biden made his little photo op appearance. RFK Jr won't pull underhanded stunts against union workers. He's not a puppet of the elite class and big business. He is an old school FDR/JFK/RFK Democrat who is being forced to run independent, against the corporate-owned duopoly to take back this country for the American people. He is the best hope we have and he is the one I support. I encourage you to take a look at him. Team Kennedy. ❤KENNEDY 2024❤

Who do you think gave us Trump to begin with?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. He is not a conspiracy theorist, nor is he against vaccines. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited. Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states. Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE.
KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment. Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. The polls were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s just the duopoly’s propaganda.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote.

Exactly. It's all smoke and mirrors to keep people voting out of FEAR. To keep them from asking "who gave us Trump to begin with"?
Who chose Hillary and Biden in spite of the fact that Bernie was the candidate who the polls said could handily defeat Trump?
The fact is, the DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. He is not a conspiracy theorist, nor is he against vaccines. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited. Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. . But he was too busy taking care of the elite donor class to do anything for the PEOPLE.
What the DNC did to RFK Jr. was even worse than what they did to Bernie. Do you know that they passed a rule that any Dem primary votes Kennedy got in states where he campaigned would automatically go to Biden???? And they passed this rule AFTER he had already campaigned in those states. Both parties have rigged the system for years to keep third parties and independents off the ballot. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY!!!!! That is the kind of election manipulation done in fascist countries, which is exactly what we live in thanks to the duopoly. It's no better than Russia.
The Dem party could have had a superb old-school Dem candidate in RFK Jr and had an easy win over Trump but they FORCED him out and instead they are trying to prop up their feeble-minded puppet and are inducing people to vote out of FEAR. The duopoly will always have a reason for us to vote out of fear of the other side's candidate but it is high time to vote for a candidate who gives us HOPE. He is the ONLY candidate talking about the issues that 99% of us really care about like ending the corporate capture of government agencies, ending the forever wars, rebuilding the middle class and making home ownership affordable, ending the chronic disease epidemic, protecting our constitutional rights, preventing us from having to live in a surveillance state and have it control every facet of our lives, stopping the takeover of small businesses by private equity, cleaning up our food and our soil, and returning our government to We The People, not the corporations.
KENNEDY is that candidate because he is for the PEOPLE, not the establishment. Any argument that RFK Jr is going to cause the one candidate you most oppose to win the election is false. The polls were totally wrong in 2016 when they said Trump didn't have a chance. They are even farther off this time and there are indications it is on purpose because it encourages people to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s just the duopoly’s propaganda.
KENNEDY is drawing support from Dems, Repubs, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and millions of first time voters and people who have not bothered to vote in years because they are so fed up with the duopoly. All these people know they don't owe any candidate their vote. They are tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and guaranteed to only get lesser and evil THE TIRED GAME OF VOTING BASED ON FEAR HAS TO END.
Every single Kennedy supporter is voting for the only candidate who has EARNED their vote, the candidate who gives them HOPE of a future for themselves , their children and the world. That candidate is ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

I agree and I am glad to see someone in this comment section who sees this for what it is.
I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020. It broke my heart when he abandoned his movement and it breaks my heart to see him groveling for votes for his so-called friend. Bernie is Biden's friend but it does not go both ways.
Where was all this working together when Bernie wanted to advance M4A and student loan forgiveness???? Biden only comes around when he wants Bernie to stump for him. Biden has known about these problems all along. He promised to raise the minimum wage and offer a public option. What happened to those promises? He had BOTH houses of Congress the first two years to pass any legislation he wanted. If Biden had done anything for the PEOPLE, instead of the elites, he wouldn't need to have Bernie stumping for him.
If Biden believed in democracy he would not have let the Dem party rig the primaries against Bernie (TWICE) and then against RFK Jr.
And when it comes to fairness for workers, Biden totally screwed the railroad workers.
I am fed up with voting for the lesser of two evils because it's lesser and it's evil. Telling people to vote blue out of FEAR is playing right into the hands of the the corrupt duopoly that has kept this country in a stranglehold for decades.
The DNC rigged the primary so that it would be impossible for RFK JR to win and the reason they did it is because he wanted to restore the Dem party to the values of FDR, JFK and his father, and that's the last thing the DNC wants. None of those great leaders would even recognize the Dem party of today that has sold out to the elites and turned its back on the working people of America. American's can't afford homes, they can't afford healthcare, or groceries. 60% of Americans have at least one chronic illness. When JFK was in office that number was 6%. What has Biden done about it? He won't even talk about the real issues plaguing this country and killing the middle class, or about ending the forever wars. Those are the issues RFK JR IS talking about and offering solutions for. He is the only one who cares enough to put his life on the line and run independent to represent the PEOPLE instead of the elites.
It's hard to trust after Bernie's betrayal but I have listened to every single video I could find on RFK Jr and in my opinion he is the genuine article. I say that as someone who is a much harsher critic than I was four years ago.
The only one who will get my vote will be the candidate who has EARNED it and that is RFK JR. Don't believe anything you hear about him on mainstream media. Go to his channel with a fair and open mind and hear him out, unedited, in his own words. Especially listen to his State of the Union speech a couple of weeks ago. Listen and decide for yourself. You have nothing to lose.

I was disappointed at first too, but am over it after looking at this more critically.
Shanahan left the Dem party a while ago and is an independent just like Kennedy. Trump spent more years in the Dem party than she did. She got much wiser, much faster than Trump and got out. She is not right or left, she is for the PEOPLE.
Kennedy asked his supporters, via emails, to vote on the qualities they wanted in a VP and Shanahan checks all the boxes.
People who are focusing on Shanahan's wealth are failing to mention that she earned it overcoming incredible odds (she grew up poor and in very challenging family circumstances) by using her intelligence and competency to become a successful self-made entrepreneur in AI (she was already successful and wealthy when she met Brin). She sold that company and used the money for philanthropy to improve people's lives. If she can use some of it to help Kennedy win, that will improve people's lives too, but it is not the reason he chose her. She is the model of an American making it on their own and she has the expertise in AI to help Kennedy safeguard us from the nefarious ways it can be used to deprive us of our freedoms. She accomplished all this before age 40; that is exceptional.
As for her not having political experience, neither did Trump but he won the presidency despite polls saying he would not. By contrast, his wealth was inherited and mismanaged so badly that he declared bankruptcy multiple times leaving his creditors holding the bag. Then there were the lawsuits, all the personal scandals and his reality TV show where he pitted people against each other to avoid being fired by him. His is a con artist and narcissist. Now he is peddling $60 Bibles to bail him out of his latest disaster; the Gideons GIVE them away. Everything he ever did was for his own benefit.
On the Dem side we have a senile president whose track record is being the Credit Card Senator for decades and authoring the crime bill that targeted black and brown people. His VP is the former CA AG who kept the pipeline of cheap labor flowing for the state's for-profit prison system and laughed about it.
Compared to all this, Shanahan looks like a ray of light in a long dark tunnel.

The DNC is not for union solidarity. It is owned by its elite corporate donors. The DNC would rather cram their establishment puppets down our throats and risk us getting Trump than ever let us have a candidate who is for the people.
IF THE DNC HAD NOT RIGGED THE PRIMARIES AND STOLEN THOSE ELECTIONS FROM BERNIE, TRUMP WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE PICTURE.
Now the DNC is doing it again, this time to RFK Jr. Don't believe the DNC's narrative about Kennedy. He is not a conspiracy theorist, nor is he against vaccines. Kennedy is solidly pro-union and supports a woman's right to choose. Do not believe anything you hear about him on msm unless it is RFK Jr speaking for himself and it is unedited. Contrary to what both parties would have you believe, Kennedy is not stealing votes from either side; he is EARNING them from all sides, exactly what Biden could have been doing the last four years. .
