If he were only running against Biden, Williamson and the Republican nominee, he'd be a shoe-in, but Kennedy has no less than seven other more formidable opponents in the 2024 election.
I think he did it in the Nick of time to avoid triggering “sore loser” laws that could have kept him off the ballot as an independent in many states. It’s sad that the Democratic Party has become so Autocratic that it’s impossible to win as an “outsider”. But that is the reality.
If he’s going to do anything about bad voting machines, he doesn’t have much time. Here in New York State the Dems are getting ready for the election by refusing to pass a bill - VIVA NY - that would save our hand-marked paper ballots and prevent the use of voting machines that encode votes as unverifiable bar codes. There are three days left to the legislative session. I had thought it was due to the excessive influence of formerly powerful legislators hired as lobbyists for voting machine vendors on electeds and community leaders. But it also may be to enable electronic manipulation of election results.
I am really sorry to hear that. I wonder if anyone could get an injunction against the bar code voting machines? That's horrible tech. Any articles or activist links I can forward to the campaign?
Very wise and very engagingly written. RFK couldn't do better than to hire you as a speechwriter, Marc. Who was it who said, "that we here highly resolve that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."?
Excellent analysis, Mr Bishop! As usual, I might add. Keep it coming.
great article. what do you think of the idea that he withdraw from the Democratic party? https://sffreeman.medium.com/to-rfk-jr-do-not-yet-withdraw-from-the-democratic-party-nominating-process-25754c6431f7
