I don't know how anyone still supported him after he ignored the outright conspiracy to deny him the nomination, as revealed by Wikileaks. Instead, he buys into "Russia! Russia! Russia!" Thanks!

When I heard of his early endorsement of Biden it confirmed every thought I ever had about him. Fair play great article.

"...the two-party system is a well-orchestrated ploy to deceive the masses into believing they have a say in their political fate."

I can’t wait to watch the debates between Pedo Joe and RFK. Oh yeah... there will be no debates as per the DNC LOL. They’re so busy protecting democracy around the world, they don’t have time to practice it here.

Great advice and well heeded! I have gotten off the RFK bus, having seen him pull a Bernie in his tweets today.

Sheepdog is a great image! I've been using Hillary's term of Pied Piper, but the corral is a more appropriate destination

Unfortunately the true independents who DON'T lead their followers into the corral are destroyed.

Henry Wallace was mocked and turned into a laughingstock. In high-school history, we saw a movie of Wallace's 1948 convention and we were instructed to laugh and mock it. (Later I learned more about him and realized that he LITERALLY saved the country from starvation by fixing the Dust Bowl. He should be on Mount Rushmore, not a target of derision.)

George Wallace was shot.

Ross Perot got the same treatment as Henry Wallace, mocked and scandaled out of the ring by the Bush family.

By the time of the 2024 election, Biden will be a couple weeks from his 82nd birthday. He is already in observable mental decline -- not that he was ever more than a mental mediocrity anyway. WTF are democrats thinking?? Apparently, the field of potential winning democrat candidates is so thin, they're going with somebody who'll likely die in office, or be too incapacitated to continue propping up like a talking manakin. Which means, democrats will be voting for the Vice President instead. If Harris is still on the ticket, I hope they get trounced. I would rather take my chances with the republicans than suffer a Harris administration. In any case, I'm sitting this one out, and probably the rest; the farce has become so obvious there's no rationalizing the vote anymore. Per this article, I think a "Boycott the Vote!" is a great idea and is actually long overdue.

Bernie is a sell out, for a very cheap price. What a dummy true believer!

For what he did, he should have millions lol.

Kim iversen started to understand why rfk was running as a Democrat, but only if he doesn't pull a Bernie who didn't pull his support base into a third party Indy run.

If rfk can give them the finger and walk if the DNC screws him it'll be great, even if he doesn't win against the machine.

Let's not forget though how Bernie was blamed for Clinton losing to Trump. So does that make him a failed pied piper?

Who really knows, but I'd like to hope there was a sincerity in Bernie's cause in 2015. The establishment and MSM mocked him viciously, so it's difficult to believe he was a part of the plan, at least at that stage.

Something definitely changed after his 2nd summons to King Obama. It was downhill ever after. The Political Revolution imploded.

I do think he opened the eyes of a lot of people.

The 2020 campaign was completely lacking, though I did support him. Since then, I have liked him less and less with this being the final insult.

Although I agree with you concerning third party support, I've become so desperate for a crumb of hope. At this point, I'll back RFK, despite his Berniesque comments. There are also some very questionable answers on his list of positions on his website.

Where is a Nadar or Stein to rally behind and give me a reason to be idealistic?

I'm watching Caitlin Johnstone berate people concerning the Tucker Carlson situation. I'm a million miles from being a Tucker fan and I'm still scratching my head on how he became a more rational voice of reason about Ukraine, the jab etc. But Caitlin is going on about him pushing war against China.

She is right to point out the error but the state of affairs is currently so dire, I think it might be better to focus on the good they offer than the negatives.

Well, it's both sad and frustrating. I supported him in 2016 even writing his name in in 2020. I think Bernie in his heart, was sincere, but unfortunately he's also a pragmatist. The good part in all of this (if there is any) is that he opened a lot of minds. You have to ask if we're better off with or without him and I say his candidacy was worth it in the long run. Hard one to have to swallow, but...

Cindy you are right again!

Talking of lap dogs. I can't believe none of us haven't taken the opportunity to congratulate AOC on her transformation into Nancy Pelosi.

(who never deliver and always betray) You hit the nail on the head with that one! When talking to a party normie, I always use you and the retro legalization of wire tap without warrant as an example of how fickle the DNC is and how quick they are to use and throw away when you are no longer of any value.

Bernie was such a disappointment in 2020. I wonder how lives with himself after he sold out so many people. They must have something absolutely terrible on him for him to change gears so dramatically.

They broke him.

Just like a beaten dog, tucked his tail between his legs and skulked away.
