The two party system of government and the ability to vote for one of the two “selected” is not democracy.

These two machines, the DNC and GOP don’t care about the people but about power. Their ability to stop other viable candidates, like RFK Jr from even getting on the ballot is not Democracy.

The Cabal, the behind the scenes power, will never let Kennedy win and will go to any means to stop him. Why do you think our candidate doesn’t get secret service protection. By any means to stop him.

There is no 2 party system…all are selected…it is all an illusion…we have been lied to and duped, all branches are compromised. The deep state cabal behind the scenes, unelected beauracrats, elitist no names, billionaires are running our government and have been for a very long time. The 2 “candidates” will do their bidding, all the while lying to us.

Biden's "foreign policy" gets just a mention here? The U.S. spurring an escalation of a fullscale war in the Middle-East, AND as mentioned in the post by Guy Montag below, the genocide in Gaza.

Why on God's green earth is RFK saying nothing about the risks of WWIII staring us in the face?

You can't be a VIABLE independent in this race with the same -- or worse -- foreign policy that is busting our bank ($34 trillion in national debt and counting) and wrecking U.S. credibility in the world.

To be relevant as a third option (independent), RFK must differentiate himself from Trump and Biden on THE issue of growing global war. Trump or Biden on the most important issue facing all Americans and the rest of the world.

This is why No Labels as a "unity" ticket was always lame unless and until they could say something different than all that is leading to the destruction of people and our own democracy at home.

RFK Jr speaks all the time about stopping wars. Like his uncle JFK, he believes that a president's number one job is to keep the country out of war.

It's very important for RFK supporters to pay attention to this. He is supporting Israel, just as Israel is coming unhinged. Millions of Jews and people of all faiths see this is morally and strategically wrong. Why cannot RFK. Here's one of the latest on this -- y'all need to pay attention now: https://www.timesofisrael.com/2024-dark-horse-rfk-jr-questions-gaza-ceasefire-defends-israeli-offensive/

“Who these uncommitted voters vote for in the presidential election in November is the billion dollar question. But they could determine the outcome of the election. … it’s impossible to pinpoint what these voters want in a candidate … Although many of the prominent drives encouraging Democrats to vote “Uncommitted” have been organized by citizens who oppose Biden’s foreign policy ...”

. . .

I believe that most of the “Uncommittted” voters here in MI, including myself, want a candidate opposed to genocide. Not a high bar. They oppose Biden's “foreign policy” of supplying Israel with the bombs they've used to level most of Gaza (with Rafah's turn soon to come) and Israel's blocking of food aid coming in to cause mass starvation (e.g. Israel's “accidental” murder of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers) .

Unfortunately, RFK “unconditionally” supports Israel. So, I don't think many of the “Uncommitted” who oppose the Gaza Genocide will vote for RFK come November. Many will vote for Jill Stein or Cornel West instead. RFK's support for the Zionist project is tragic; it appears to be his Achilles's heel.

RFK Jr would negotiate for peace not continue any war.

You can't negotiate when you take sides. He supports giving Israel a blank check and the check is being cashed for a genocidal action by Israel. Millions of people across the globe are watching. Are you?

I will take a closer look. I admit to not having followed the situation in Israel so closely. It's hard to keep up on everything. My biggest concerns have been censorship, heath, vaccines and agriculture. I want peace in the world as much as anybody though. War never leads to peace.

I registered for the we the people party in California just after the primaries on March 5. For the past month, the online voter registration status portal has indicated that my registration for this party was pending. Yesterday, I finally received my voter registration card in the mail. In the party affiliation section, it says WTP. I checked my voter status online after that and saw that it now says under party affiliation WE THE PEOPLE PARTY OF CALIFORNIA.

Biden democracy is just a dictatorship in disguise

No one is disputing that Biden needs his bell rung. We all had hopes that RFK was it. So far, he has failed the test.

according to who? Your truth is not necessarely everybody's truth and that is the real definition of freedom. My hopes for RFK are intact ✌️

True, Eve, you;re right to defend your right to support your candidate, so my apologies here.

I would only add that No Labels just imploded because -- in my view, obviously -- after so many attemps over the last decades, post-Perot, to build the independent movement, political independents cannot avoid this very problem. The problem, again, is what are we offering to solve the problems that are driving the train of ruin in our country. This is our foreign and economic policy. RFK has some great ideas, but you can't leave the war machine in place. Israel and Middle East policy is driving that train.
