If the democrat party is serious about wanting to maintain the white house in 2024, they need to unite behind Kennedy Jr
But that will never happen, they will try to squeeze him out. Because he has been at war with big pharma for years
If the republican party is serious about wanting to win back the White House in 2024, they need to unite behind a democrat.

Can you see Uncle Joe mooning me and and giving me the finger? Me either.
This was about an hour ago.
Man. I, personally, would not have chosen to put POTUS in a V-22.

Younger folks forget what Republicans used to be like prior to Reagan. Biden is basically a moderate Republican. I liked moderate Republicans. They were serious about defense, worked for fair labor practices. Fiscally sound--not cruel, but realistic.
Sparko and Nixon, sitting in a tree....
EPA. Universal Health Care. Until . . .

Harris has disappeared. she’s been less visible than pence was, which is saying something given trump’s obsession with the spotlight
I like Pete a lot too, but he's 41 and I was talking about the "tweens" Biden - AOC. I think he's still is and looks too young to go for it yet, and he certainly has time to wait and choose.

DAMN Fish! GREAT CATCH!!!!!!
He wasn't in a V-22 when he left O'Hare so I would have to assume he wasn't in one of those when they appeared to be flying back to O'Hare.

I think it has turned out that Harris' actual chops are not overly impressive.
I'm probably talking more out of my ass than I should given that I'm far, far from a California politics knower, but: I guess I'm not that surprised that someone who has governed the State of California (Newsom, obvi) comes off as more tested/experienced/prepared than someone who has represented the State of California in the Senate.
i begrudgingly agree
i just don’t like Newsome. not sure why, exactly…
I've never liked him that much either, partly because you can't look at his former wife and not wonder WTF is wrong with him...
But, recently, before but especially since he started telling DeFascist to go fcuk himself, and even more the way he handed Hannity his ass, I like him more and more. If you didn't see it, the Hannity interview was somrthing to see. I heard a guy from the UK with no dog in the fight say Newsom was like a walking XL spreadsheet he was so full of info responding to Hannity's gotcha questions.
So everyone in Congress is paid off? Why isn't Randy attacking any of the MAGAs?
Exactly.
The problem isn’t a partisan one, so much as it is systemic.
This shit is exhausting. As usual,* what's happening is that the wannabe autocrats (and their rube fundraising base) want to do everything about a problem EXCEPT the most logical/efficient things.
Want to clean up "corruption" in politics? Start with (1) legislating Citizens United and its progeny our of existence. And then (2) strengthen - definitely DO NOT WEAKEN - protections on voting rights.
But of course the wannabe autocrats NEED Citizens United. And they do not want to protect voting rights (because their policies are deeply unpopular, and getting even less popular).
* Same thing on gun violence. Which they blame on literally everything except the guns themselves.
I don't necessarily disagree with any of this.
But, it still seems to have a partisan tone to it.
so my question now, which at least cursory search wasn't able to answer:
has Citizens United benefitted one party substantially more than the other?

Stop. He's a kook.
He's not. They want you to believe that. But he isn't. He's done 2 things that the deep state cannot let stand, and they try to silence him and get the public to believe he's "a kook"
1. Accuse the intelligence communities of playing a role in jfk's assassination, which is most likely true
2. Being critical of vaccines, which he's been proven correct time and time again in the court of law. He IS NOT anti vaccine. He just wants them to be properly safety tested

To anyone that genuinely believes kennedy Jr is a cook, watch this video. Even if it's the only thing I post you ever watch. It's a constructive debate on what his vaccine stance actually is. He is pro vaccine, he just wants vaccines to be subject to the same level of testing that other medicines are subject to
