Sadly for me, and causing me to remove my Kennedy bumper sticker, and causing Dennis Kucinich to leave the Kennedy campaign, Bobby Kenndy Jr. has not wavered in his support for the Zionist regime.

RFK Jr. is just as owned by AIPAC as Biden is. Trump is also an obedient servant to the Zionists, as much as the rest of them. There is NO solution to be found in this terminally corrupted political system.

Since Jill Stein and Cornel West stand no more chance getting elected than a jar of peanut butter does, thanks to the Uniparty making it impossible for any third-party candidate to ever challenge its tyranny, we are doomed to the status quo perpetual war machine if we expect elections to ever make any difference. Don't vote.

I have voted for Dr. Stein before, and will likely vote for her again this year. A "protest vote" is clearer communication than no-vote-at-all.

Right there with you, I have donated a number of times and will work on ballot petitions. : )

I've voted for her, too, as well as other 3rd party leftist candidates since 1976--every time. Never once since then for a D or R. It's a protest vote that is so marginal no one even notices or cares, except to rage against us as "spoilers", inevitably for the hyper-establishment Dem candidate.

From where I sit now, if millions refused to vote AT ALL in this (s)election, it can send a more powerful message that we're not being fooled any longer by their Kabuki theater bullshit disguised as "elections". Organize to overthrow this hideous system; don't validate it by voting in its hopelessly corrupt and rigged elections.

We both started voting in 1976. We have voted the same.

You probably voted for Barry Commoner and Ross Perot, too.

Barry Commoner definitely. I went to a talk he gave in Minneapolis in 1980 and talked with him a few minutes afterward. He was one of the very best. I think I've voted for Nader 3 times, excoriated and excommunicated by my liberal friends for it.

But Perot? Sorry, no way. Multi-billionaire "populists" are always going to be as pro-capitalist as any pol can ever be, of either wing of the Business Party/Uniparty. Perot was no exception.

Perot's EDS (Electronic Data Systems) did a wonderful job managing Texas Medicaid. He was most insightful. He kept it paying promptly and small amounts, with minimal bureaucracy.

After he messed with Bush Sr. Bush Jr. came in as governor and gave the contract to another company, which parasitized and mismanaged it.

I was already a small town doctor in Texas by the time he ran and earned my vote.

I voted for Nader, and Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney, and Dennis Kucinich in primaries, whoever seemed most honest.

I had already read "The Closing Circle" in high school before 1976, so Barry commoner was an easy choice in 1980.

The only people that do not want to continue doing Israel’s bidding are the far, far left. Probably less than 20 politicians total. It is the one issue that is untouchable for either party. They both must bow and kiss the feet of Israel or have no chance of re-election.

I am not doubting you. I see this as a huge failing of American politics. This is not representative government, it is control of govt. by intimidation. Worse, intimidation by foreigners and wanna-be-foreigners.

Jill Stein will be on 50 state ballots. Sadly Cornel West is on 3 states now with less than 1million to spend on the election. I will not vote for lesser genocide. Vote NO on Genocide Joe.

Same here. The best presidential candidate in my lifetime and when it comes to Israel he throws all of out the window.

He had you bamboozled if he had you thinking he was the best candidate of your lifetime. The guy has made a living a litigious leech. He’s from a family of political royalty, the same bottom feeding scum that are in charge now. He wants every government program known to man to be expanded and given more powers. He was and is the biggest huckster in political history. He is right about one thing, vaccines, that’s it, every other position he holds is that of joe Biden or any other uniparty trash can.

We seriously disagree. He is right on many issues but Israel is a huge wrong. Not going to take time to discuss it.
