Thank you for this. I was at the event too... blessed to be standing right next to Nicole's mother :)
And I really wanted Tulsi to be his running mate when I waited with baited breath for Kennedy's announcement. I didn't know who Shanahan was... but once I came to understand who she is, I am DELIGHTED by Kennedy's choice.
What you failed to share in this post is that she is a high tech patent attorney. She is working with leaders in the AI industry - an industry she understands. She also understands data, and the connection between our natural environment and public health.
She intends to run all the medical data held by the CDC and NIH through AI systems which will give us much more solid information - what is causing our children to be suffering the highest rates of diabetes, obesity, autism, cancer and heart disease than ever? We do safety studies on individual pharmaceuticals, but not on the cocktail most people take... what can we learn about that?
She has also come to understand that the media is lying to us. That's huge - especially for a democrat (I should know... I was a lifelong democrat too until covid 2020)
She's beginning to understand how horrible the corporate mergers with regulations agencies is for our country - that this is the rot that is decaying the work of our founding fathers. She knows that none of the politicians are addressing this sufficiently because they've been sponsored by the same mega-corporations - Big Ag, Big Pharma, the military industrial and prison complex - that ensures we continue to poison our air, food and water and stay in endless wars - because sickness, disease and war are profitable.
She's authentic, passionate, idealistic, intelligent, powerful and very well-connected.

You people have NEVER read The Constitution or you would have defined the vision of complete Globalized CENTRALIZATION.
THIS IS an advocate and loyal treasonous Agent for the Pagan U.N.'s Communitarian Law which is to camouflage it behind an innocuous/benign definition since it's actually

"One/New World Police State' of Police States making China, every horror-filled Dictator and Dark/Middle Age King appear generous, kind, decent and honorable to all your ancestors they starved, exposed to the elements, raped, beat, kept weak, sick and ignorant.
OH...Suspect that with the kinds of teachers now installed attacking babies and children with Psy-Ops; seems very applicable to assume you people never learned how to even read.
I’m 82. Attended the speech in Oakland with my two 30 something skateboarding friends. My reaction: she’s a real find. My young friends were won over also. I remarked that I thought she was pretty, and Scott said “How about ‘Make America Beautiful Again.’”
Nicole is a brilliant woman who has experienced both sides of the coin, from rags to riches (and displays empathy from the experience). She is a lawyer who has broken ground in an area of law that didn't exist before. She created and lead a successful tech company. She has traveled internationally (backpack style), she has mothered an autistic spectrum child (which changes your life in ways you can't imagine), and has done the research to become extremely well versed in our chronic health dilemma. She is presently paying for research in "mitochondrial health" which could heal others way beyond her daughters population. Is it because she is a divorced, wealthy, woman that so many have judged her before they research her? I feel her presence is divinely guided. She's the perfect partner for RFK in this "turning of an age".
Shanahan is an unconventional choice, so it's to be expected that folks have to warm up to the idea--if they ever do. Blaming the public is your prerogative, but it's not a winning strategy. If she fails to find her feet, it will be RFK's fault, in large part, for making the pick. It's an election for goodness sake.
I’m part of the public and blame no one. I question. And by the likes on my comment, I see I’m not alone in people who may agree to some degree. To “blame” anyone, is a sign of “powerlessness”, and RFK is in no way powerless.
We've been programmed by the Uniparty for decades to not think outside their well guarded and elite funded box.
Like the lady said, there is no "experienced DC insider" that has bucked the system and their party to the extent needed to wrest the power back to the people.
You're not wrong about the programming. The question is whether there's time and ability to overcome the programming. I hope there is. Right now, we need to step back from the precipice. You don't need a lot to accomplish that, and the question is whether people want more than that.
I. Martin, I think you misread YvonneM's comment. She blamed no one...only saying that "many have judged her before they researched her." Which unfortunately reflects the lack of curiosity and critical thinking prevalent today. "It's an election for goodness sake" YES, and we have learned that those we elected have produced the results we live with.
Yes, really terrible results we live with. It’s obvious that Democrats own Republicans for whatever reasons, Republicans have no backbone especially when it comes to spending. Could it be that both parties are owned by the same corporate interests? Yes.
I was concerned about a having "technologist" come to power because many of them can only see one solution (and look where much of our big tech has landed us). However, I am also a Mama Bear, and Ms. Shanahan won me over, too. I was glad to hear her speak about issues that most politicians have avoided bringing to light. And anyone who cares about wresting power from Big Ag and helping regenerative farmers deserves my attention... we are what we eat, and right now we are poisoned.
I'm a boomer and am tired of having to listen to people even older than me say what the country needs (except for Bernie, of course). It's time to get the best and brightest of our younger generations in place to find solutions for the problems their predecessors have created.
Hooray for those who agree with me on Nicole Shanahan, a superb choice!
But I'm mystified by the cynics.
Not fortunate enough to have had a stable childhood, much less a privileged one, she "pulled herself up by her bootstraps" which is often touted by Americans who've never had to struggle. The issues on which Nicole has focused indicate that she's a very caring person, a species seemingly in short supply in today's America. Perhaps the naysayers could direct their ire at the MSM that is blacking out Kennedy, thus denying We the People our Bill of Rights promise of a Free Press.
I loved Frances Scott's charming and candid explanation of how Nicole won her over.
I saw a complete story of why Kennedy picked Shanahan for 2024 in the series of speeches.
Imagine that this fall, Native Americans will come to vote by riding their horses. Mothers and fathers will come to vote along with their children suffering from chronic diseases and in need. Young voters will come in a group smiling big. The pair of powerful leaders is truly listening to the voices that have never been heard —paradigm change in peace with hope and smiles. When America changes, the world also changes. Let the dream be realized.
Too many people are sick, kids sick and many are sick of the phony, “we are here to help you”, bullshit. If they are not already too over medicated and Vax injured or glyphosated out of their minds, there is a possibility of a Tsunami. Compute that if you can.
Please see TETRAGRAMMATON podcast with N Shanahan, for an amazing interview, if you're looking for hope. But beware, you may learn something in the process. RFK SHANAHAN perfect together.
Frances, I shared your same concerns taking in the entire acceptance speech. Whether we both feel her sincerity and think it's time for a person of this integrity and sincerity there is still a very important component that I feel is needed in leadership of this magnitude...and that is wisdom. You can't implant that into a 38 year old. It only comes in living life. We'll see if she can convince uncommitted Independents
By the age of 30, Alexander the Great had created and ruled over one of the largest empires in history, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered to be one of history's greatest and most successful military commanders in history.
If you listen to her interview on TETRAGAMMATON you will see she has lived life more than most individuals. She has also done more by actually learning and healing from her experiences. "How do you make ethics, computational"? N.Shanahan knows.
I have learned more about the way the world works in the past five years (age 65-70) than I did in the previous 64. But that's just me (and the wild ride we have been on). It is early days; but this VP selection does not strike me as a serious one.
Jennifer, I am in your age cohort and have 7 children (6 survivors) including a 35 year old in the political sphere. I think this is a serious selection and that her story thus far, all things considered, deserves support.
“I’d wanted someone who had challenged authority and bucked the system from the inside as hard as Kennedy had from the outside. I realize now he didn’t pick such a person because that person doesn’t exist”. She does exist. Her name is Tulsi Gabbard.
do we really need ai to figure out what is the cause of the diseases plaguing this country and the rest of the world? are we still going to have to tiptoe around the obvious truths ? for fear of a loss of profits in this time/place where they blatantly come before people ?
But 45 is an unethical nasty human with a 4th grade vocabulary and has no empathy for anyone on planet earth 🌍 and has used tax payers money to build his empire ... can’t compare 🥴
It can be an important and relevant attribute, but it can also cut both ways. However, your comparison is poor. The disadvantage, in this case, is more like Hillary Clinton's. She not a natural politician. Of course, neither is RFK Jr., so we're in uncharted territory.

Funny you should say "doesn't compute" about her candidacy. She said she's going to assemble the best technologists and scientists in the world and use the latest in AI and computation to solve chronic diseases within weeks, not decades, working from health record databases in the US and other countries. An extraordinary project, in my book the equivalent of JFK's "We choose to go to the Moon" speech in 1962.
She might have the chops to do it. She's an experienced "technologist," as Wikipedia calls her, and having been married to a co-founder of Google for five years she might have learned a thing or two about computation.
I thought she came across as the real thing in her speech. New agey but genuine.
Nicole is a deep, critical thinker who knows how to 'connect the dots.' A courageous VP pick for Kennedy. It's what effective leaders do - surround themselves with intelligent individuals and give them responsibilities towards the policy goals. Not only does Nicole "compute," but she ads important value to RFKjr's team and to the health & wellness of America!
I am no longer in California and I cannot evaluate her comment, as reported in Newsweek, to the effect that she supported Gascon's policies in SF but that he has "carried her research too far" in LA. If the Kennedy campaign needs her financing in order to secure ballot access across many states, I can understand that, and I can also understand not being able to say so.
wondering how you define 'wokeness'. I happen to agree with James Lindsey, that its cultural Marxism and I am seeing literally NONE of that from either Bobby nor Nicole

I'm all in for Kennedy/Shanahan 2024.
I am too. I also was a lifelong democrat until 2020.
Go Bobby and Nicole!

I was initially disappointed - but her speech, and her interview on Rick Rubin's podcast were both outstanding. The interview must have been done before she was chosen as there is no mention of it. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tetragrammaton-with-rick-rubin/id1671669052?i=1000650583296
Talk is cheap. Do you know her actions and who she aligns herself with? Doubt it.
If you haven't listened, she describes exactly what she is currently doing.
I look at the policies she supports. No way. Thanks
recently? or years ago? seems to me she has changed
Frances, I shared your same concerns taking in the entire acceptance speech.

I listened to the podcast this morning. I'm liking her more and more. She's authentic. Thanks for sharing.
That was a fabulous interview, and seemed to have been from before she was the VP choice.
Five of our founding fathers were younger than her when they put their lives on the line by signing the Declaration of Independence.
Monroe was only 18. Adams was 19.

I am sorry about the loss of your child. We will see what happens, and how Ms. Shanahan comports herself in the months to come.
“I’d wanted someone who had challenged authority and bucked the system from the inside as hard as Kennedy had from the outside. I realize now he didn’t pick such a person because that person doesn’t exist”. She does exist. Her name is Tulsi Gabbard.
Agreed, but apparently (from what I've read) Tulsi turned him down.
do we really need ai to figure out what is the cause of the diseases plaguing this country and the rest of the world? are we still going to have to tiptoe around the obvious truths ? for fear of a loss of profits in this time/place where they blatantly come before people ?
Outsider status an important and relevant attribute? Seems like 45 fit that bill and has been demonized and attacked for it.
Not commenting on her other “qualifications”.
But 45 is an unethical nasty human with a 4th grade vocabulary and has no empathy for anyone on planet earth 🌍 and has used tax payers money to build his empire ... can’t compare 🥴
Surprised to see an educated, analytical, pro-RFK voter with basic, modal, Dem-style TDS. Oh well. Your vote for RFK counts, same as mine.
It can be an important and relevant attribute, but it can also cut both ways. However, your comparison is poor. The disadvantage, in this case, is more like Hillary Clinton's. She not a natural politician. Of course, neither is RFK Jr., so we're in uncharted territory.

Sorry. Doesn't compute. She may pry a few voters from Biden, but that's about all.

I am not convinced either. Where does she now stand on the catastrophic law enforcement record of George Gascon?
Maybe you should ask her?
I am no longer in California and I cannot evaluate her comment, as reported in Newsweek, to the effect that she supported Gascon's policies in SF but that he has "carried her research too far" in LA. If the Kennedy campaign needs her financing in order to secure ballot access across many states, I can understand that, and I can also understand not being able to say so.
If you listen to Rick Rubin's interview of her, before she was chosen, on Tetragrammatron, she goes into the Gascon period.
Thank you. I will do that soon. It is a huge issue to me.

Maybe I'm wrong or oversimplifying but isn't this trying to manipulate us with a heavy does of "wokeness"?
You are correct on both accounts - you're wrong and oversimplifying
wondering how you define 'wokeness'. I happen to agree with James Lindsey, that its cultural Marxism and I am seeing literally NONE of that from either Bobby nor Nicole
Bad pick you lost a lot of votes
