      We can only hope, but polling shows him hurting Biden slightly more than Trump.

      So make sure any of your acquaintances that might be on the fence about Biden know that Robby’s biggest donor is also one of Trumps bigger donors as well. It ties the wholes together even tighter.

    Are people down voting because they don’t trust the source, find the information inaccurate or misleading, or because they just dislike RFKs statements? The latter may suppress things people should actually read…

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    His argument made on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” centered around being blocked on social media platforms during the Biden administration, which he labeled as an effort to “censor political speech” and undermine the First Amendment.

    In December, the Supreme Court blocked Kennedy from joining a challenge to a case brought by the Missouri and Louisiana’s attorneys general concerning the Biden administration’s communications with social media companies about posts the government views as disinformation.

    “With a straight face Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that Joe Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Donald Trump because he was barred from pushing conspiracy theories online,” DNC senior adviser Mary Beth Cahill said in a statement.

    He has never held office but has inspired a small contingent of supporters drawn to his advocacy against public health mandates and the influence of money on decisions made by government and private corporations.

    Kennedy’s comments come after members of his extended family, including some of his siblings, celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at the White House last month and shared their support for Biden in a social media post.

    Kennedy also downplayed concerns about playing the role of spoiler, arguing he believes neither Biden nor Trump will advance policy goals he wants prioritized, such as the national debt and the reduction of the US defense budget.

    I’m baffled that people think we have a democracy in the first place when politicians can be bought and own stock in the companies they regulate.
