Why would anyone want to ban RFK from the ballot if he is no real threat to Biden?

Precisely!

He's precisely a threat if he runs as an independent. Many Americans would stand with him in a 3-way race and he could win. The DNC is run by sociopaths like Debbie Wasserman. Why such insistent on trying to redeem that.

I’m an independent who had planned to vote RFK in the AZ primary. Then I learned that AZ primary rules exclude Indies from presidential primaries. I hope he decides to run 3P. Perhaps I’ll re-register as D, haven’t decided.

What’s concerning is that D voters refuse to grasp that the DNC does not now, nor ever has cared about their will. In 1948, AL Ds refused Truman a ballot position. In 1968, the DNC nominated Humphrey, who had participated in ZERO primaries. In 2016, they tossed the guy with the highest popularity. In 2024, they’re gonna refuse the only one who can fire-up their base.

They don’t care.

This is problematic: The job of D party leaders is to nom the person they think has the best chance of winning. If their voters disagree, they need to change party leadership. They won’t. Oh well.

Many D voters are upset by Maui, illegals in NYC, the actions of the D gov of NM. Ya know what? None of that matters - and D leadership knows it. NM, NYC, HI still will vote D, and everyone knows it.

Superdelegates, and the two new versions being introduced by the DNC, coupled with penalties against states and candidates who campaign traditionally will ensure the D leadership will continue to ignore their voters.

Great summary of the challenges RFK Jr. faces. Remember that institutions in America only retain power because a majority of people perceive them as legitimate. The more the DNC acts corruptly, and the more desperate their corruption becomes, the clearer it will be for those Americans who have not yet noticed. The court of public opinion dictates the course of the country.

Nonsense. Democrats and many of their followers still insist Donald Trump is a Russian asset. The court of public opinion no longer matters when a good chunk of the public is deranged. If the Beacon wants to provide something of value then show us the path to victory via running as a democrat. We need RFK j to be our next POTUS. Many of us donate, we volunteer and have to listen to the BS coming out of the mouths of hyper educated democrats who insist RFK j is an antisemite and will ban all vaccines.

It's important to remember that the only reason Truman was on the ballot in 1948 was because the party was terrified by the idea of having a democratic socialist like Henry Wallace replace FDR. There has always been a corporate wing that detested the New Deal almost as much as did the Republicans. Bill Clinton just finished handing the party over to it in 1992.

Yeah. But also remember that 1948 was the year of the Dixiecrats. AL refused Truman cuz he integrated the military & Ds ALWAYS have been anti-black.

The Dixiecrats left in 1968 to join the Republicans and help Nixon win. It gave the Democrats free rein in the Black demographic, which inevitably led to their taking it for granted. The biggest problem is elitist arrogance, not racism.

The only answer is that he is a threat and they can’t admit it.

He's not a threat to them because they have proven they have the power to stop him. Why is the campaign so insistent on this bizarre path.

Because they can't help themselves. He's making too much noise, and they want to shut him up. If Dennis K and the campaign want to play a game of chicken, then they should say so and get on with it. RFK j stated in the Forbes interview that he can't go back his donors and volunteers and say "I'm in this to make a point".

Stop the silliness. Robert needs to get away from that club and declare an independent run. These useless stunts are a slap in the face to non-democrats that are supporting RFK j. That bunch will NEVER-NEVER-NEVER allow Robert to win a Democratic primary. Enough is enough! Time to move on. Time to declare an independent run! That is the ONLY way to send a message to the DNC slugs!

Marianne Williamson reported back 4 years ago or so about how DNC leadership is deaf to anyone outside their little control room or whatever it is where the big decisions are made with Big Pharma in full attendance. They sure do love the "World Health Organization" now one of the most honest healers I have ever encountered, Dr. Eric Berg of Alexandria, VA. has smacked into the Youtube censors who are of course, under BPharma's Heavy Boot!

How may we join the caravan? Earlier this morning sent an email to Team Kennedy regarding

our need to do a "QUEBEC SPRING" Years ago, Quebec had their college tuition hiked. THE COMMUNITY WAS SUCCESSFUL in getting the tuition lowered after demonstrating - Adults with strollers, seniors, students, EVERY DAY AT 5PM.

The SCAM on American elections becomes more clear even to the blind, by the day - and it was Donald Trump who broke the ice on this ongoing SCANDAL - on this American TRAGEDY, as a "democracy" with stealth corruption of the ballots & a corrupt Justice-System REFUSING to look at the PROOF for countless reported manipulations, makes America the biggest "banana republic" of all the most corrupt republics on this planet.
