It would be sad that one Kennedy uplifted his nation while another Kennedy helped tear it down.

Thank you, Robert! I was on a zoom organizing call yesterday about the "Summer of Heat" and noted Kennedy's dangerous ploy and campaign funded by right wing billionaires.

BTW, NPR's Fresh Air program did a great piece yesterday touching on a few subjects you discuss, including monopolies, consolidation, and a living wage. "Fast Food Nation author Eric Schlosser says mergers and acquisitions have created food oligopolies that are inefficient, barely regulated and sometimes dangerous. His new documentary is Food, Inc. 2." I highly recommend this story for content and health.

He used to be an admired environmentalist. How far he has fallen over the past couple of decades.

This was an excellent video warning of the dangers of RFK Jr. - I will share it.

With that said…

There are trolls mucking up this forum who ought to be banned, kinda the way this video was removed from Tik Tok.

My advice to your devoted friends here is simply not to engage with them. Period.

Stay healthy and safe.

Thank you! Lean into the groups where independents congregate online and in-person to spread the word about the things we care about. I have been getting banned on social media and I do not use curse words there or anything that should be censored. Be ‘Out of the Box’ thinkers and communicate/spread the word in creative ways. Meetup - book groups, and at Church. Mine is Unitarian and VERY Liberal. Be Creative, do Awesome stuff.

This guy is really dangerous. Just like Trump. He will never win withdrawal, and he will never win. He can be a spoiler just like Raphael Nader in 2000. We all must spread the word and VOTE!!!

Anyone with a little bit of common sense would question voting for a candidate whose own family endorses someone else!! Bobby Kennedy would be so disappointed in his son right now. Bobby would have been the first in line for vaccines. He would have worked tirelessly to stop the spread of COVID. He would NEVER accept conspiracy theories!! RFK Jr. just doesn't have what his father had and trying to bank off his father's name is just disgraceful as his family's rejection shows.

Thank you, I will share the video far and wide!

It is disgusting to see RFK Jr. smear what the name Kennedy means to America, to Americans.

Very scary to see the comments for your video. Seems like a lot of people are being fooled by RFK, Jr and his nonsense.

I think Bibi is going to take a lot more votes away from Biden than Kennedy ever could. My own opinion is that partnering with Bibi in the Gaza ongoing massacre has made Biden a hollow shell, and makes the US look like a rich powerful uncle to its favorite nephew, Israel.

I am an 80 yr old Australian citizen residing in Australia. I follow US politics with interest because Australian politics is heavily influenced by the US. What continues to amaze me is the notion that with a population of 300 million citizens in US are Biden and Trump the best you have to offer as presidential candidates? Trump's personal life experiences alone should render him unsuitable for election and Biden (sadly) is obviously suffering cognitive decline (it will sadly happen to me also!). Of the three prominent candidates RFK jr is the only one who can hold a rational and objective conversation without prompting, invective or rhetoric. He is widely experienced in life and is dedicated to realistic causes that matter not only to US citizens but to the World. His views on US foreign policy (he is non-confrontational and seeks detente), the military-industrial complex ( Eisenhower warned us about abuse of power), the pharmaceutical - scientific cabal (imposing irrational edicts and corrupt practices) and the need to conserve the environment (whilst it is still live-able) are vitally important concepts that neither Biden or Trump are either willing or able to debate with RFK jr. I fear for the outcome of the forthcoming US elections because we in Australia be effected one way or another - and we don't get a say in the vote!!

Bravo to you for producing this video! As a Canadian watching the decline of America because of Trump, I’m praying your efforts have an impact and Biden succeeds. As you say, democracy is at stake. Keep spreading the word. Debra

I’m sorry I just don’t see any sane Democrat or independent voting for RFK

His father would be ashamed.

Biden is a senile stooge. And he's not in charge. Blinken et al are careening this country towards incitement of global war. Trump is a product of the media. Really a coup sponsored by it. That these two horrors are being trust down our throats is a clear indication of the corruption of our governance.

Professor Reich: there's some issues with RFK Jr's speech. is this fixable?

that said ... i'm absolutely gobsmacked to be reminded once again that almost half of all amerikkkans are proving how deplorable they are by planning to vote for trump. it's the stuff of nightmares. i still cannot believe they think they will somehow magically be able to avoid the wrath of trump and his minions that will be set loose upon them if he gets back into the white house, that they believe that a trump presidency spells anything but worldwide nuclear war. but maybe this is their plan afterall? maybe they want to destroy the planet in fulfilment of a myth alluded to in revelations?
