I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.

It may be too early for an election retrospective. It's still election night, and technically things haven't been called. It's a good time to speak candidly, though:

There is not a single moment this election that I felt heard or represented by Kamala Harris. Not one.

But—people, and especially leftists, will say—you're a centrist! she ran to the center, did she not? spoke of unity, focused on fundamentals, stayed disciplined? And I confess: she did. But let's consider the nature of that "running to the center": well-oiled, precisely tuned gears of the Machine, turning and calculating that to win the vote, they needed to present as Normal.

Not that they were ever wrong. Not that any of their priorities were mistaken, that they had ever seriously overstepped, that they needed any serious re-examination. Just that they needed to slow-walk things, to be calm, to rely on running against Trump and repeating platitudes to waltz into the presidency.

"What will you do differently from Joe Biden?" A bold answer from Kamala: I'm not him, and I'm not Trump. Great. "What are we to make of your positions during the 2020 primary?" Well, it's not 2019 anymore, is it? "Did you ever, even once, go too far?" A laugh and a charming slice-of-life quip.

The Democrats tried to run an election on vibes alone. Kamala is brat. Kamala is normal. Kamala is all things to all people. Kamala is with the good guys and against the bad guys, with the good things and against the bad things, and shouldn't that be enough?

Look, I've been adamantly against Trump from the day he entered the national scene. I have never wavered on that. But I spend my time and my energy writing, shouting, begging someone to listen that people do not trust the Machine, and they do not trust it for good reason. Young, educated professionals are far to the left of the average American, and they are the ones in control of every institution. Institutions systematically represent their views, treating them as natural and everyone else as aberrant.

I'm on the fringes of that group, right-wing by young, educated professional standards, dead center by the standards of the country. And it's frustrating, alienating on a deep level, to go to law school and watch prison abolitionists and Hamas supporters and people who want to tear gifted education down treated as sane and normal and Respectable while knowing that if I don't voice perspectives sympathetic to the majority of the country, nobody will voice them at all.

Kamala Harris never represented me. The Democrats never signaled to me that they heard and understood my voice and voices like mine, only that they wanted to pull the right levers and press the right buttons and twist the right knobs to convince that mystical creature, the Centrist, that they were on their side.

I don't know what will happen under what looks to be four more years of Trump. I don't think it will be as dire as the worst predictions, and hope it won't be, but I remain now as ever wholly convinced that he is temperamentally unfit to be President and the country is a more volatile and uncertain place with him in charge.

But what I hope is this: the Democrats don't take this moment to lament to themselves how everyone fell victim to misinformation and imagined grievances, that they were fine and good and the people were the problem, that their problem is they were simply not pure-Left enough. Now is the time for recognition that they fundamentally, wholly failed to understand and reach the frustrated center. They have four years to get serious about doing so.

CBS News asked me why I want to be President. The reason is this: because Americans deserve to have a unifying leader who will fight for THEM. Who prioritizes peace, our health, and our soils. Who understands the peril and potential of technology. Who has the know-how and the backbone to stand up to the corrupt bureaucrats and big corporations that are destroying the middle class and, with it, the America I know and love.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

If you want more of the same, vote Democrat or vote Republican. The only way we’re going to get enduring change in this country is if people come together behind the one leader who can and will stop fueling the vitriol – the Independent candidate who has vowed to give Americans what our country needs most: a unity government.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

We’ve given Democrats a chance to fix this country. We’ve given Republicans a chance. What has not had a chance is a unity government – headed by an independent president beholden to no party, free from corporate influence, and ready to recruit the best ideas from all who have been left out.

DONATE NOW ➡️ https://t.co/eJCDE9ZPTT

If you are ready to see true change in this country, with the only leader who can get it done, please support my campaign now. We have a crucial FEC deadline on July 31st, so the situation is urgent – please contribute as much as you can today.

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

https://t.co/vIlNVXRn5P

Many kids today feel uneasy engaging directly with the world. Virtual reality is becoming more compelling to them than material reality. Like so many of us today, children are without a proper orientation. For many the center of gravity in their lives is not family and community but the glow of the gadget. This is concerning. 

And that’s not mentioning the related rise in anguish among our young people, the avalanche of disturbing statistics. As social thinker Jonathan Haidt says, we’re over-protecting our kids in the real world and under-protecting them in the digital world. And their souls are paying a price. Our Surgeon General calls our youth's mental health crisis "the defining public health issue of our time." 

Meanwhile, many of the creators of these gadgets in Silicon Valley make sure their children use these gadgets sparingly. In an interview with The New York Times just before he died Steve Jobs said he banned his kids from using the newly released iPad.“We don’t allow the iPad in the home. We think it’s too dangerous for them in effect.” If contemplated carefully that single remark could alter the behavior of the world.

We adults are the prepapers of the path for the children. But it seems we are -- without realizing it -- leading them to the wolves. 

But there is hope, as evidenced in schools, counties, and states all over our country.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

When politicians use the tried-and-true tactic of stoking rage and hate against the other side, they may win the election, but they intensify the divisions that paralyze the nation. The truth is, the "other side" isn't so awful. Just ask a _____ (MAGA guy, BLM guy, pharma exec, anti-vaccine advocate, you name it) about their children. You will find love there. We need to source from that common humanity to heal this country.
