I have been told by the monitors of this site to keep commenting, even if I have disagreements. I think that is a wise policy. We are not here for hero-worship of Mr. Kennedy.
Yes, please do. Genuine airing of disagreements helps us find middle ground and identify ares where we can learn more about a topic. We at The Kennedy Beacon are following RFK Jr.'s example on this. Thank you for your continued engagement, Richard!
I've noticed that state level pollsters are generally not yet including RFK in the mix. However, one can infer the missing data by noting that about 20% of the voters in every state level poll I've seen appear to be undecided. They're not actually undecided. They just weren't given a third choice. Still not seeing a path to victory for RFK in the electoral college, though. Trump has the plurality locked down in every red state, and Biden in most of the blue states. Although, Biden's lead in some blue states is more tenuous. There's a sizable chunk of the Democratic Party that is not happy with the warmongering over Israel.
I'd like to see RFK thread that needle. He can continue to maintain his strong stance in support of Israel while also showing a bit more compassion for the Palestinians. RFK likes to propose solutions rather than dwell on problems. Yet, he's remaining strangely silent on what used to be a major priority of his – peace. I've heard Kennedy say multiple times that the main job of an American president is to keep Americans safe and that one of the best ways to keep them safe is to be careful about military engagement and rhetoric. He's also said multiple times that it is important to put yourself in the shoes of all parties in a violent conflict to see clearly. I hope he updates this page with some solutions soon:
While I come from mixed Christian & Jewish family, I can't help but observe 120 years of worldwide & Israeli Oligarch directed 'Genocide' (UN definition = 'removing-of-people &/or destruction of the means of essential livelihood' plus state & settler murder. For decades Israel has blocked all food, shelter, clothing, warmth, health & water access except at starvation levels. Many 1000s of Palestinians & Gazans die every year from this lack of access to essentials & constant bombardment. Since 1890 Haganah (Israel state military), Stern-gang-Lehi, Irgun, Mossad among other state armed & financed violent entities have & are committing brutal murder, home, orchard & livelihood destruction against Palestinians. Palestinians (Philistines) have 1000s of years ancient villages & homes in this place. This ongoing genocide is the humane equation, which Hamas as elected representatives of the Gazan people have to consider.
Palestinians, at first, upheld their sacred holy duty for Palestine-Israel as the 'Land-bridge' between the mega-continents of Eurasia & Africa to welcome & economically include the refugee, stranger & traveler. Read Miko Peled, the Israeli General's Son. According to the UN's extensive genetic 'Out-of-Africa' studies, some 6 billion people owe their ancestry to forebearers who lived in & passed through Palestine-Israel.
If Israel's Ashkenazi majority, wish to live integrated as co-inhabitants & not foreign $$ privileged violent invaders, they have the obligation, now in privileged control of the reins of power, must convene Both-sides-now, Equal-time, Recorded & Published dialogues. Not just at the top, all Israelis & Palestinians need be paired in these formal public dialogues of TRUTH & RECONCILIATION. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues
Why would anyone vote for Biden? I don't get it? Debt, lies, corruption, war - this couldn't be any further from what a democratic voter would look for...

bc 1) they're all still terrified of 45... and 2) unfortunately most who might actually vote either don't know about RFK Jr thanks to concerted efforts to censor him ... or what little they've heard are lies and sound bad to them ... how it all looks to me.
I'm amazed how little people seem to know these days, in such a connected online world, where seemingly infinite information is available at your fingertips 24/7 and anyone could research anything they want to discover the truth. But the devices in people's hands seemed to have replaced their brains, unfortunately. Instead of using it as a tool to unleash their true potential, they use it as a tool that takes control of their lives for convenience. If people would just know who RFK Jr is and what he stands for. They finally have a chance to get rid of the puppet masters of their digital chains, but they seem to choose to continue their suffering.
I wish luck to the few of us who see the world for what it truly is today. Let all of us focus our consciousness on RFK Jr to win this election! Once we are a critical mass, we can make this happen, it is possible!
it's shocking to me, as well, that people can be so unaware these days.
partly, a surprising number seem to still have faith in MSM sources. if you trust them, why would you question them?
and then, even if they're presented with info that contradicts what they wanna believe... they reject it. so... things have to shift direction by this time next year... and that seems more than likely to happen. what direction?? who knows!
I still would - if RFK Jr weren't an option. I'll take Biden over Trump any day. To me, it's important that whoever leads our country means well, treats others with dignity and respect, and tries to do right by the people. Besides, there's no proof of corruption. People in this country are innocent until proven guilty - in the courts. I'm offering this for you to understand, not because I want to defend myself or get into any arguments here. These are my views and I don't expect anyone else to follow in my footsteps.
Besides all that, I don't think anyone could do the job of President with any ease or grace at this point. It seems masochistic. I don't agree with RFK Jr on several points but I'll vote for him because he doesn't dodge hard questions and is willing to change his mind. I wish that were more common. I also expect that he'll run into his own trouble if he makes it to the WH.
What I am asking myself now is, how much of what I am presented with in the media, was created and designed to make me think and feel a certain way. This is not just in regard to Trump, but in regard to everything. You will notice, the closer you look at things that are being presented to you, they were designed to make you do what “they” want you to do.
I’m not trying to convince you of anything. Once you start identifying the manipulation that is happening on a very large scale, then you will discover things for yourself.
This doesn't come across that way: "You will notice, the closer you look at things that are being presented to you, they were designed to make you do what “they” want you to do.
I’m not trying to convince you of anything. Once you start identifying the manipulation that is happening on a very large scale, then you will discover things for yourself."
Sounds like you think that I'm not thinking for myself.
Remember, presidential elections are not won by the popular vote, but by the Electoral College. With only two candidates that's _usually_ the one with the aggregate popular vote. But not always.
With three candidates it's even more complicated. Especially if no candidate gets 270 EC votes.
If RFK jr wants to win he needs to reach across the political divide and get some of the outstanding young Republicans aboard. He also needs to make it clear than anyone even remotely connected to the Obama or Biden administrations will never be a part of his.
Well - looks to me Kennedy helps Trump win - and that is a good thing if Kennedy want to teach the Democrats a lesson - and he should. But he needs to do more - work with Trump post election to dismantle the corrupt voting system, corrupt insider trading by Senators and Congress persons that a re exempt from insider laws, corrupt government agencies, (CIA, FDA, FBI etc..) and overly powerful warmongering State Department. He needs to make this deal with Trump today.
This certainly enhances Mr. Kennedy's credibility. He might speak to the fact that 50 percent of Biden's proposed new 100 billion in war spending will pay for weapons for the Military -Industrial Complex, adding even more to the profits of hedge funds like BlackRock that are majority owners of Lockheed among other firms. It's graft and corruption on a monumental scale.
Is there ANY survey actually viable and not owned by Puppets of The City of London's Central Banker Family Mafia?
The treasonous, dementia-ridden Pedophile reported to have 36% support only proves the intolerable levels of CORRUPTION AND STUPIDITY now infesting the general population and the endless lies and propaganda now saturating the Republic.
It's very early and this looks good. I only wish that Kennedy had stayed in the primary to force the DNC to show it's colors and for the publicity. There is still definitely room for progress because this administration in imploding so rapidly! The incompetence is really scary.
I don’t get this question. Is what?…a good choice for voters? I get what the question is trying to ask but it doesn’t get there.
66% want an alternative to Trump and Biden
Two thirds of those polled answered affirmatively to the question, “Do you think if Joe Biden and Donald Trump are the nominees of their parties that the country needs another alternative, or is this a good choice for voters?”
Democrats agreed with the statement by 68%, Republicans with 57%, and independents with 78%.
It seems that RFK Jr is most likely to be part of the equation at that time. If something catastrophic happens to Trump, and Biden passes or becomes incapacitated, then we have Kamala, choice of the RNC: Haley (?) and RFK Jr. We know who the MSM would prefer at that point: Haley. The question is who will come out on top? It doesn't look bad for RFK.
We continue to wait for Mr. Kennedy to initiate a call for peace and a just settlement in the Middle East. We are also waiting for him to take the essential step of calling for the abolishment of the Federal Reserve. See my book "Our Country Then and Now," Clarity Press by Richard C. Cook
Unless Mr. Kennedy said he would do those things, I don't see the point in waiting. Move on to a candidate that represents your interests. Edit: you're not wrong. Current affairs clearly demonstrate that the status quo is broken. There is just so much that is broken.

That is phenomenal news...especially with all the sixial media suppression and other efforts to quash his campaign! Progress!!
wonder how this plays out with the electoral college.
What a dumb outdated system.
Another stupid rule is what Matt Gaetz challenged, the speaker basically has power to rig what bills come onto the floor.
Sooner or later people are going to see how broken electoral college is. 😂
maybe. changing it is another matter... so we'll see!

I looked at former President Trump in a similar way you described.
I do question my thoughts now, after reading this substack and watching the video from these two people I respect:

I think you're making assumptions about me and how I come to my opinions. I'm a very independent thinker.
No, I’m sharing my own personal experiences.

I think the key takeaway from that poll is that Biden is a loser all on his own.
Biden 36%? I can't believe it.

And also no one like John Bolton or Pompeo or Fauci or Pence.

He has said that btw.

We can’t possibly know that. Numbers might sink, hold fast, or grow.

Hence, Trump has a more stable base than Biden.
With just over a year before the votes are counted, all three may not even be part of the equation. What then?
