RFK Jr’s running mate Nicole Shanahan blasts Democrats for Biden’s “farewell address” tonight at the DNC when he has 4 months left in office:
“You know, no matter what your opinion is of Joe Biden, if you love him, hate him, or don't really care, you have to realize something feels very wrong about how the Democratic party ran a full court pressure campaign to get him out of office after he won 14 to 15,000,000 votes in the primaries.”
“Isn't it strange how he bowed out because he didn't feel like he could serve another 4 years, but somehow he's okay to serve 4 more months as we face historic inflation, debt, and war. Any impartial observer can look at that and realize the DNC machine did what they always do, they pushed someone out that they couldn't successfully puppeteer.”
“So much for defending democracy.”
This isn’t a partisan opinion by Nicole, it’s a question we should all be asking. If Biden isn’t mentally fit to serve another four years, who the hell has been running the country and who the hell is gonna continue running the country for the next 4 months.
If you aren’t mentally fit, you can’t hold the most powerful position on the planet. This goes for whoever is in office.
Americans deserve some answers on who is running the country currently.
During my announcement speech more than a year ago, I said that I have so many skeletons in the closet that if they could vote, I would be king of the world. I knew much would be made of my past. I have been around politics. I know of its hazards. I also knew that my vision and policies would inspire resistance in the establishment.
When you declare yourself foe to widespread corporate-government corruption and declare yourself counter-friction to a runaway war machine (a war machine killing innocents and draining our country’s coffers), you will inspire resistance in the establishment. (Put another way, many powerful people want to make sure the gravy train never stops. And I derail gravy trains.)
When you point out the morbidity of our two-party system -- a system that our first president warned us about, a system that is now largely predicated on hating fellow humans -- you will inspire resistance in the establishment.
When you’ve spent much of your life successfully fighting against our biggest corporations and worst polluters; fighting against mining, timber, hydroelectricity, and oil industries on behalf of the voiceless and the indigenous; fighting against agribusiness barons blithely ravaging the lives of small farmers and small towns, you will inspire resistance in the establishment.
When you remind Americans that censorship and other curtailments of our civil liberties always arrive burnished with a moral and patriotic gloss, you will inspire resistance in the establishment.
When you invoke our crisis of meaning, our deaths of despair, the addiction, and the many children lost to screens, ill health, and ennui, you will inspire resistance in the establishment.
When you are wary of reductive partisan ideology and group-think; and when you refuse the common coin of today’s public discourse -- a glib second-rate cruelty delivered via the screen -- you will inspire resistance in the establishment.
When you assert that to better our country we must work toward a politics that heals this divide and affirms our mutual belonging, you will inspire resistance in the establishment.
As you perhaps know, I am used to such resistance -- used to the bile and malign distortions that accompany speaking out on high-stakes issues. And I know that the establishment’s treatment of me -- while challenging -- makes perfect sense.
The dark and elaborately refined arts of partisan politics deployed to end my campaign (the documented censorship and shadowbanning; the out-in-the-open, anti-democratic, and well-funded attempts to keep me off ballots through expensive, complex, time-consuming legal challenges; the thwarting of debate access; the withholding of secret service protection; the paid staged protests; the sundry campaigns of defamation and scandalmongering) are the logical reactions of a threatened -- and very unwell -- status quo.
And underneath all of this -- underneath much of this election cycle, underneath much of this moment in our nation’s politics -- is a sort of destitution. A destitution of heart. It’s no small wonder so many people have withdrawn from civic life and democracy altogether.
A broken bond needs to be reestablished in our country. We need more soul-searching and less partisan warfare. Our work as Americans, whether we like it or not, transcends all labels and all parties. It seems we will recognize this reality and act accordingly; or be broken into it. History is not made occasionally on great stages by the privileged few but made daily in the depths of each human soul.
Ours is a beautiful nation, still. According to the Internet, our country (and our world) founders in chaos. But in post offices, parks, grocery stores our beauty still heartens and shines. We all see it every day.
It is in the name of that beauty that I work.
It is in the name of that beauty that I run to be your next president.
The true power of America is not its comfort, wealth, or military might, but its ideals of liberty, democracy, and
generosity.
This campaign is about honoring and restoring those ideals -- regardless of the defamation, evasion, and trickery. We knew those were coming.
We will not be deterred on this necessary journey.
Mainstream media just proved how out of touch they are - again.
While Americans just faced the biggest stock market crash since early 2020, the elites at New Yorker Magazine seem to think we care about trivialities.
No, I do not care that RFK Jr. (a hunter and outdoorsman since childhood) picked up some roadkill on his way back from falconing.
No, I do not care that RFK Jr. ate a goat while exploring Patagonia.
No, I DO NOT CARE about Kennedy "family lore" or if Kennedy has a "savior complex."
Right now, I cannot buy a house.
I am watching WWIII unfold before my eyes.
I'm worried that my children - should I be able to have them - will be amongst the 1 in 30 affected by environmentally-caused autism.
I fear that mandates will again lock us down, and I won't be able to get to my grandmother or my younger sister;
that if I don't comply with forced vaccine requirements, I will be ostracised from my community and called a "danger to society."
I worry at the existential rise of inflation, the decline of the dollar, the rallying of the BRICS nations;
I wonder if building up my savings account is even worth it.
Every time I read "journalism" like this, I'm reminded of the insane wealth disparity that plagues this country.
Maybe some people can afford to sit around and gripe about bears in Central Park.
My generation cannot.
One day, you will hear from us.
