#DemExit - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Leaves the Democratic Party
Honest Democrats asks - is it really a good thing for our party that the scion of the Kennedy family has just LEFT the Democratic Party?
If Joe Biden is such an amazing incumbent and wonderful candidate that we all must get behind him, why couldn’t he get on a debate stage against Kennedy in our Democratic Primary?
Why can’t he debate Marianne Williamson?
If Biden won’t take on (or can’t take on) Kennedy or Williamson on the Democratic primary stage, what makes anyone think he can take on Kennedy and Trump on a national general election debate stage?
And what makes anyone think Biden can take on even just Trump alone? He did a decent job against Trump four years ago, but is he coherent enough to do so in 2023?
Or will he be coherent in 2024?
Now that Kennedy is gone, will more Dem candidates step into the primary? Even if we do end up with more candidates running in our primary, all the frontrunners - Newsom, Harris, et al. - are all shills for corporate and lobbyist agendas. The governments and agencies they oversee are captured and don’t represent the people at all.
Honest Democrats will not be exiting the Democratic Party. We are staying and fighting for the heart and soul of our party which today is clearly captured. We won’t stop fighting till we bring the Democrats back to the interests of working class Americans!
