Does anybody remember when Democrats used to speak like this?
@RobertKennedyJr has been saying the same things and fighting the good fight against the corrupt merger of state and corporate power for decades. When this interview aired in 2004 he was a darling of the @DNC.
Oh, how times have changed.
Oh, how the party has changed.
As a former lifelong Democrat, I will never understand the drastic transformation of liberal voters into henchmen of the establishment.
It wasn’t that long ago that liberals occupied Wall Street, stood up to Big Pharma, protested Keystone XL and DAPL, vehemently opposed The Patriot Act and the forever wars of the Bush Administration, and fought against lobbyist influence in our elections.
Modern “liberals” claim to hate @realDonaldTrump, yet they praise his experimental vaccine and demonize those who question it. The same pharmaceutical companies that have paid billions in fines for misleading the public are now above reproach in the eyes of so-called liberals.
“Liberals” claim to hate Trump, yet they praise his masking, social distancing, and lockdown protocols.
“Liberals” are now okay with @JoeBiden being the largest recipient ever of campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical and banking industries and AIPAC. They justify the funding of a mass slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza.
“Liberals” are okay with tech companies and CEOs worth over a hundred billion dollars censoring the speech of working-class Americans. Speech, by the way, that may harm the bottom line of mega-corporations.
“Liberals” now prefer a war that is wiping out a generation of young Ukrainian men over peace and diplomacy.
And “liberals” point to the success of Wall Street, which we once occupied, as a sign of economic success while turning a blind eye to inflation and the high cost of living that is ravaging what is left of the American middle class.
Somewhere along the way, @TheDemocrats lost the plot and lost touch with what those of us who aren’t white coastal elites truly care about. It’s sad that the @DNC has somehow convinced the 22% who still identify as Democrats that the Democratic Party still champions their interests. It’s very similar to how Reagan duped working-class whites into supporting trickle-down economics and voting against their own interests.
I’m really not even sure what “liberal” means anymore. Is it only reserved for people who are pro-abortion and trans rights?
All I know is that @RobertKennedyJr and @NicoleShanahan are still fighting for all those things that were once tentpoles of a western liberal democracy.
Every politician says, “I’m going to fight for you.” Heck with that. We need someone to get down in the trenches and fight alongside us. That is the only way we are going to save our country from two-party tyranny.
@RobertKennedyJr has spent his career fighting shoulder to shoulder with the people. He and @NicoleShanahan are on a mission to give America #BackToThePeople.
To my fellow liberals, I know it can be hard to admit that you’ve been fooled. And it can be hard to let go of the party that you have identified with and passionately defended. It was painful for me.
But those of us in the #WeThePeople movement simply and respectfully ask for you to give @RobertKennedyJr a fair hearing and listen to him in his own words.
I can nearly guarantee that you will remember what it feels like to act from a place of hope rather than fear and anger.
If you listen to Bobby and decide that he is not for you, we will still embrace you and treat you with the respect and dignity that every American deserves.
If you are tired of the hatred and division, if you are tired of losing friends and family members over politicians who don’t care about you, or if you’re tired of being afraid to say what you know to be right, then help us #HealTheDivide.
There is a way out of this second Gilded Age. We can find it together.

Now I know why woke Eddie won’t debate me! He uses AI to write all his social media posts. Unfortunately for him, he’s not smart enough to remove Grok’s feedback to him. 😂
@jakeshieldsajj@sparro4646 It’s become clear that Charlie Kirk was actually the principled opposition and true threat to the Netanyahu government while @NickJFuentes is either a useful idiot, or worse, a fed, in service of the Epstein class.
For nearly six decades the U.S. has voluntarily remained in the dark on Israel's nuclear capabilities.
The ambiguity ends now.
There is too much at stake to accept ignorance. We are at war alongside Israel against Iran without knowing what their red lines are for using a nuclear weapon.
I led a group of 30 lawmakers to demand an end to the ambiguity.
@mehdirhasan@mehdirhasan when are you going to have that moment of blunt self criticism and apologize for the role you played in helping Biden win the presidency and the genocide in Gaza that he subsequently funded?
His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.
לא היה אסון מדיני כזה בכל תולדותינו. ישראל לא היתה אפילו ליד השולחן כשנעשו החלטות הנוגעות לליבת הבטחון הלאומי שלנו.
הצבא ביצע את כל מה שביקשו ממנו, הציבור הציג חוסן מדהים, אבל נתניהו נכשל מדינית, נכשל איסטרטגית, לא עמד באף אחת מהמטרות שהוא בעצמו הציב.
ייקח לנו שנים לתקן את הנזקים המדיניים והאיסטרטגים שנתניהו חולל בגלל יוהרה, רשלנות וחוסר תכנון איסטרטגי.
