Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has thrown down the gauntlet, accusing the Democratic National Committee of pulling every trick in the book to install Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s chosen one now that President Joe Biden has decided to bow out. This eerily reminiscent maneuver echoes a time when political dynasties and infamous backroom deals reigned supreme—think the good ol’ days when voters actually had a say.
Biden’s dramatic exit is almost cinematic, a plot twist that has not been witnessed since Lyndon Baines Johnson pulled the same stunt in 1968—talk about a legacy! In what can only be described as a “historic decision” (for all the wrong reasons), Biden’s letter suggested that he is stepping down for the good of his party and the nation, failing to mention how his declining capabilities led to this political shake-up. It’s almost like he realized that a Joe Biden re-election campaign was about as popular as a root canal.
Who is More Devious and Crooked Than The DNC Communists???
RFK Jr.: DNC Trying to ‘Rig’ Nominating Process to Get ‘Monumentally Unpopular’ Kamala Harris as Nominee https://t.co/5b00MBsdea

His endorsement of Kamala Harris sparked a celebration among the Democrat loyalists, who have evidently forgotten that the concept of democracy includes presenting options instead of handing down a crown. Enter RFK Jr., who is having none of it. He argues that party leadership’s actions are a blatant attempt to strip voters of their rights, akin to an American Idol audition where the judges don’t even bother to hide their bias. No voting for the people—just a behind-the-scenes decision to keep the voters in the dark!
Kennedy’s declaration includes a not-so-subtle dig at the DNC for trying to cover up Biden’s “infirmities,” which have been visible to anyone who hasn’t been wearing rose-colored glasses. He suggests that the DNC elite are not just steering the ship but are also attempting to rig the process to ensure Kamala gets the chance to further her progressive agenda. It’s almost like they’ve forgotten that primaries are supposed to be, you know, for the public’s input. Instead, it’s a game where the party heavyweight calls the shots while the masses are left grasping at straws.
The independent candidate has also called upon the Democrats to embody their professed commitment to democracy. Basically, he urges them to back up their talk with action, rather than anointing a candidate like a royal birthright. He proposes a novel idea—using neutral polling to determine the best candidate to take on Donald Trump, instead of sidelining options and handing over the nomination like a birthday gift wrapped in the shiny paper of party favoritism. If they’d adopted this approach from the get-go, perhaps Kennedy wouldn’t have felt the need to jump ship from the Democratic Party in the first place. It’s a classic case where the more things change, the more they stay the same—at least for the DNC’s approach to transparency.
