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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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
“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 ?

I'm all in for Kennedy/Shanahan 2024.

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

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”.

Sorry. Doesn't compute. She may pry a few voters from Biden, but that's about all.
Bad pick you lost a lot of votes
