I just read Chris Hedges latest article in which he attempts to pin the genocide of the Palestinian people on Robert F Kennedy Jr.. Hedges musters a giant ball of presbyterian moral condemnation on Robert F Kennedy Jr's stated positions concerning Palestine. Thinking somehow, that a giant ball of presbyterian moral condemnation has the potential to derail Kennedy's very clear path to the presidency. The American public will simply kick the Palestinian cause down the road to put RFK Jr. in the White House and hope he moderates some of his positions. Chris Hedges has wasted his time trying to take down Kennedy over Palestine. The things is, Kennedy can simply change his position on Palestine and it won't change the outcome of the election.
Why is the path clear for RFK Jr. to be the next president? The economy.
Between covid, the US proxy war in the Ukraine and greedflation, the American people are ready to snap and I don't mean snap at each other but rather, snap at the ruling class that created the mess. Americans only go to the polls in hopes of improving their individual economic condition. Tip O'Neil, the late speaker of the House of Representatives said it best. He said “Lloyd, the American people don't vote democrat, the American people don't vote republican, the American people vote their pocket book.”
I love watching all these idiots pretend that elections are about ideology and fluffy platitudes. The most ideological people in America are the election thieves deployed by the wealthy elite but we have reached an economic tipping point in which the election thieves and ideologues have no friends. Established liberals, conservatives, progressives and socialists got covid completely wrong and got the Ukraine war completely wrong and the public saw that they did. Getting it wrong has cost lives and jobs, small businesses and caused civil society degradation. In election speak, economic tipping points bring land slide elections which are impossible to steal with machine voting and vote counting. The exit polling will catch the land slide and if the media does not side with it we will see violence from the working class toward the ruling class and the ruling class will lose.
Kennedy has had a very sloppy launch of his campaign. His positions on Israel and not calling out that Nazis gave his son orders in the Ukraine war fighting Russia's Special Operation to demilitarize and denazify the Ukraine are odious at best. He wants to keep taxing cannabis as all ex junkies want to punish cannabis users. Everyone of those sloppy steps is because the campaign manager RFK Jr. hired is former Congressman Dennis Kucinich. I've never met a sloppier candidate than Kucinich but he is a candidate, not a campaign manager. He has no real analysis of the demographics of America or what they are thinking and he is afraid of the Zionists derailing RFK Jr.'s campaign because Kucinich blames the Zionists for gerrymandering him out of congress. RFK Jr. can count on the Zionist vote because RFK Jr. exposed that corporate fascists experimented on an entire nation of Jews this time, with an experimental mRNA vaccine that should have never been used for anything. Candidates never make good campaign mangers and Kucinich was a Democratic party charity case. The homeless kid makes good. The democrats in Ohio ran on Kucinich's name for years, until he turned on US foreign policy including Israel. All of Kucinich's later attempts to win office failed because he has no idea how to actually win an election. The Ohio Democrats did that for him.
RFK Jr. also has no idea how to run a campaign as he was partying and then lawyering but in a noble way, while we, in the real world were fighting off Mitt Romney from taking Teddy Kennedy's senate seat. There was literally a knock down drag out fight out side Fanuel Hall where Teddy and Mitt were debating but it was one sided. A tiny amount of Romney supporters started smashing Kennedy signs in the front of a crowd of 3000 Union Carpenters and Iron Workers in support of Kennedy. So we picked up the Romney supporters and passed them over our heads and threw them on their asses at the back of the crowd.
Truth is, RFK Jr. is a silver spooner and silver spooners live in bubbles sequestered away from the struggles of the public. RFK Jr. has blind spots but his commitment to lessening the struggles of the working class has been fostered by his work as an environmental lawyer. He has seen first hand that working people are always on the shit end of the stick of corporate pollution. Kennedy is a silver spooner who can afford to play on the beach for the rest of his life but he has chosen to figure some injustices out, in the service of the public. This is what makes him suited to be the president and why the American public will put him in the White House as he is saying all the right things about the economy of the working class and he crucified Dr. Anthony Fauci and by doing so, crucified Trump and Biden.
Trump and Biden are two of the worst presidents when it comes to the economy. Between the completely corrupt covid response, the war in the Ukraine and greedflation, Americans are screaming in economic pain. However, if RFK Jr. Insists on keeping his completely incompetent campaign manager, he will be out manoeuvred by the Lincoln Project, who are the real government of the US. Cause Biden certainly ain't.
This is the Lincoln Project's real battle, how to stop a land slide from occurring. Vote theft is only possible in tight elections where exit polling can be and is ignored but a land slide will be exposed by exit polling and won't be ignored. This is why Carl Rove and the Bush Crime Family didn't bother stealing the election in 2008 as there was a 64% turn out which they saw coming. They resorted to blackmail instead. They stole the candidate instead of the election. The Bush's have a file that can put Michelle Obama away for twenty years for corporate crimes she committed at her law firm. This is how they stole our candidate that me and Teddy Kennedy put in the White House. They simply carried on the with the Bush agenda of war and the destruction of the US economy.
Obama got a land slide because of the economy, not because he was Black. I used to cringe every time Obama put on that phony south side of Chicago street accent. He was a Harvard constitutional scholar, no one expected him to be street. He still does it to this day but when Bush owns your wife, you do a lot of things you shouldn't. Like kill Qaddafi.
Kennedy knows improving economic conditions for the American people is the only message that matters but he is campaigning in friendly waters on the libertarian right due to Kennedy calling out America's corrupt covid policies and defending the worst form of Zionism as right wing Zionism has figured out the covid scam as well. Kennedy has to realize that he has to campaign and make his arguments to the biggest part of the population, his children's generation and their kids who are now becoming voters. The younger generations are totally skeptical of baby boomer politicians.
RFK Jr. will have to figure out if he wants solid campaign professionals to help him or not as all of us can see his first big mistake was hiring Dennis Kucinich. Like all enterprises, RFK Jr's campaign for president will continue to have set backs but how he responds to those set backs will determine whether he can stay on what is a very clear path to the White House.
