RFK Jr. Argues That Biden Is a Worse Threat to Democracy Than Trump
CNN's AWFL Anchor Erin Burnett doesn't know what to say when confronted with the truth.
Robert Kennedy Jr. skewers Biden as "a much worse threat to democracy" than former President Trump ... Robert F Kennedy Jr is currently polling better than any independent candidate since Ross Perot in 1992. Kennedy's comments were made in relation to the Supreme Court case Murthy vs. Missouri, which examines the extent to which the government can pressure social media companies to remove content. When asked whether Biden was a supposed "equal" threat to democracy when compared to Trump, Kennedy Jr. responded: "Biden is a much worse threat to democracy...Biden is the first candidate in history, the first president in history that has used federal agencies to censor political speech."

Democrat James Carville warns Democrats are losing support of young minority voters
James Carville, a prominent Democratic strategist, has expressed grave concern over the "horrifying" poll numbers indicating a significant loss of support among young minority voters for the Democratic Party. This comes as a major blow ahead of the upcoming presidential election in November. ... A Gallup survey in 2021 showed a 19-point dip in the advantage Democrats held among Black adults compared to 2020, and a decrease in Hispanic identification with the Democrats from 57% to 47%. President Biden has also been losing support from both Black and Hispanic demographics, key Democratic voting blocs, as he prepares for the November election.
r: Carville's comments come in the wake of a series of polls showing a significant decline in Democratic support among young minority voters. A Gallup survey last year found that the Democratic Party's advantage among Black adults had dipped by 19 points compared to 2020. The poll also revealed a decrease in Hispanic identification with the Democrats, from 57% in 2021 to 47%. ... A USA Today/Suffolk University poll published in January found Biden's support among Black voters at 63%, a 24-point drop from the 87% he had in 2020. The poll also found that Trump had an advantage over Biden among Hispanic voters by a margin of 39% to 34% and voters under the age of 35 by a margin of 37% to 33%. Carville... has also recently criticized the Democratic Party for being too "preachy" and "feminine" in its messaging, suggesting this could be contributing to the loss of support among young minority voters.

The media and the liberal establishment have tried to make the white working class and traditionalist religious people toxic, but the public, including the minorities the Democrat Party relies on, finds the media and the liberal establishment to be the toxic ones. AWFLs are toxic. If you pursue their madwoman's-vengeance politics, you will alienate more and more normal, non-mentally-ill people. Meanwhile, Biden has given up on Florida completely.
Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried told reporters earlier this week that the state party had "complete confirmation that the Biden campaign, as well as national surrogates and national partners, will be investing dollars here." Fried, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, and Miami Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava introduced their Hispanic voter outreach plan at a party this week. However, Miami Herald reporter Fabiola Santiago pointed out that there were no local media or big-name Hispanic celebrities in attendance-- which he suggested means that the Democrat Party has accepted the fact that Republicans have the state in the bag.

Ehhhh, that last point isn't true. There was plenty of censorship during the War Between the States and WWII, at least. Biden is the first to do it in peacetime and for nakedly political (as opposed to clandestinely political) reasons.
But he isn't generally wrong.

This is a cause for concern for the Party *only* if both of two conditions are met:
1. The surveys are accurate
2. "Loss of support" correlates strongly with "voting for the other guy"
Unless both are true, it doesn't matter to the Party, because a voter who "doesn't support" you but also doesn't vote for the other guy produces a clean ballot the Party can fill out on his behalf.

Um, that's already the case, kind of. Any centenary year divisible by 400 (e.g., 2000) is not a leap year.

its the other way around in Gregorian. Century years divisible by 400 are leap years...the others are NOT. This makes some of the div400s also NOT leapers.

That's a really weird thing for a third-party candidate to say, just on a practical level.
If I'm a third party candidate I can't think of a good reason to say that one of the major candidates is better than the other. The statement itself is vastly more likely to appeal to the supporters of the candidate that I am stating that I prefer, and therefore to draw votes *from* the one that I'm saying is better.
If you actually think that one is better than the other, it seems like the "correct" way to play the game is to try to syphon votes off of the other side. Unless you're delusional and actually think you have a shot at winning the whole thing.

They say the most ridiculous lies all the time. We just had a thread on Biden denying he signed the proclamation he signed.

Perhaps the funniest thing about this is the Left not only tried but succeeded in overturning an election.

The kids (anyone under 35) are pissed about groceries and not being able to buy a house.
If there was an opposition party they'd be constantly making the point that groceries and housing have become unaffordable because Biden is printing a shit ton of money to give his clients and bringing 10s of millions of illegals.
So a vote for Biden is a vote for paying more and its really that simple.

A LOT of younger people are attracted to RFK Jr's message, and his willingness to be on various podcasts with other people and engage them in debate.
They are turned of by Biden, and see Trump as (also) too old and divisive (the success of the Media propaganda).
It will be an interesting election, to be sure.
RFK Jr has a LOT of positions that I cannot stomach, if he were to be elected, but he would be better than the loathsome lying toad Biden.

Megyn Kelly had a pollster on to talk about the tight polls recently and he made a great point: In the 2016 election, in all the key toss-up states PDJT won, his margin of victory was less than the Jill Stein vote n those states. In that sense, Stein got Trump elected.
So maybe we should hope Kennedy stays in the race until the end and gets on as many state ballots as possible. After the incredible disaster Biden has been for America and the world, it should be a cakewalk, but it won't be, since PDJT is so unfairly hated.
Kennedy might be key.

I'm seeing some weird goings on YouTube.
Make It Make Sense is a channel that covers rap and related; especially the scandals.
He's been all over the Diddy stuff.
1) they are getting close, maybe without knowing it, to figuring out he was protected by a political party and that is how it went on so long
2) they have to speak in code for certain terms ( sexual assault, rape, pedos, etc.) because of the censorship. And they know which party that is that did that
3) they have mentioned Trump ( also indirectly to avoid censors) ... and it was positive
A smart politician will be pointing out #1.
And related to the prior post, a smart politician will be making a whole bunch of Spanish ads showing all the trannies and pedos in the DNC

Until they stole it from him.
Biden only got about 60M real votes in 2020. I wonder if he'll get three quarters of that in 2024 as the numbers posted top 90M or more...

The censorship under Woodrow Wilson was even worse than what we're suffering, now.
A simple verbal statement of "disagreement" of Wilson's policies, was reportable, prosecutable, and prisonable.
This was known as the "Progressive Era.", when it rightfully ought to have been called the "Suppresive Era."
Which name, I do now humbly submit as the Title for our modern, Surveillance State.
Meanwhile, Biden looks back at Wilsonian times, in every. Of both the Oppression and Wilson's superior mental state, there, at the end.

Joel Kotkin is one of my favorite pundits, and he wrote a very good piece on the fact that EVERYONE hates the self-anointed elites.
Virtually every ideology that’s undermining the West has its patrons in these ruling cognitive elites. This includes everything from the purveyors of critical race theory and Black Lives Matter to transgender activists and, perhaps most egregiously, campaigners for the climate jihad....Like French aristocrats before the revolution, the oligarchs talk largely among themselves. They seem unaware that they may be financing fashionable causes that may threaten ‘their own rights and even their existence’, as Alexis de Tocqueville said of the Ancien Régime. In pre-revolutionary times, French aristocrats and top clerics preached Christian charity and celebrated the rights of man while indulging in gluttony, sexual adventurism and lavish spending, as well as exercising their historic privileges. Just like the revolutionaries of 1789, many in today’s third estate are disgusted by the hauteur and hypocrisy of the upper classes.

During the last week, Biden's numbers have been improving in the Daily Rasmussen Presidential Approval poll. His JA has gone from 39-40 to 42-43. Only Rasmussen measures this daily, so this poll is useful in detecting recent movement.
I believe Biden's JA has improved because voters' perception of the economy is improving slightly too. The jobs #s have been pretty strong (including today's), & while inflation is still terrible, it's also a little better than it had been during most of the first quarter.
On a somewhat different topic, I've been pointing out for a long time here that RFK, Jr. on the ballot in the swing states is a necessary precondition for Trump to win.

In Russia Mass Deportations Of Muslim Migrants Surge After Moscow Terror Attack
There have been widespread reports of mass deportations of Muslim migrants from Russia in the wake of the March 22 terror attack on the Crocus City Hall venue in a Moscow suburb which killed at least 140 people and left hundreds more wounded and injured.
This trend is said to be the result of a significant uptick in raids by authorities on apartments and dorm complexes known to house Central Asian migrants, amid concerns that Islamic radicals could carry out more attacks.

Just remember that RFK Jr is right on 5% of the things you like and 95% wrong on the things that make your life better.
But stick a fork in Biden, he's done.

RFK Jr. is positioning himself for 2028. He's doing retail politics and learning the lessons of a national campaign.
My bet: Disantis versus RFK in 2028, providing, of course, we're still allowed to vote by then.,

I view Carville as a sort of ersatz Bill Maher, or is it the other way around? His credentials are impeccable, so when he occasionally speaks the truth, nobody is willing to condemn him, because they know he's speaking truth and trying to save the party.

During the last week, Biden's numbers have been improving in the Daily Rasmussen Presidential Approval poll. His JA has gone from 39-40 to 42-43. Only Rasmussen measures this daily, so this poll is useful in detecting recent movement.
The juicing of the polls starting in September will be epic. Have to explain the 98M ballots cast for Joe and Kamala.

I don’t buy into this. I know plenty of 20-something’s so are doing just fine. Do they have it maybe a bit tougher than I had it when I was in my 20s? Maybe. But it’s not that much different. Hell McDonald’s is paying close to $20 an hour. Get a roommate and you can afford to live on your own.
Living at home is just a crutch and laziness.

According to Zillow, my house is now worth 42.5% more than what I paid for it 6 years ago.
Coupled with current mortgage rates at 2x-3x what they were 6 years ago, getting into the housing market is a fool’s errand.

The started in Detroit where again and again they would open a sealed box that had been certified as having 350, 500, whatever votes for Hillary but inside were finding 50 or so ballots.
They got that Jill Stein recount shutdown ASAP.

RFKjr has been an absolute crank for 20+ years. He used to enjoy a certain prestige here among our antivax contingent, but I’m pleased to see that DU has largely recognized him as the purveyor of bullshit that he is.
He has some giant chip on his shoulder. The fact that anyone can sit and listen to RFK Jr. for five minutes, and then think this guy is qualified to be President of the United States is a testimony to the blithering ignorance of some Americans. This guy couldn't manage an ant farm.
He's a psychopath and his whole family knows it. At this point, ANYONE advocating for Trump clearly doesn't give a flying fuck about America or Democracy.
He'll take more votes away from Trump than Biden. His own huge family isn’t voting for him. That’s very telling to a lot of people.
His name will take votes from President Biden, but his mouth will take votes from Trump. In the end, I'm betting the mouth wins. Why would a 2020 Biden voter choose RFK, Jr.?

Not that it matters, but what TF kind of question is “who’s a threat to democracy?”
Why not who’s a bigger threat to our individual rights, the economy, peace here and abroad…?
Burnett doesn’t want to talk real issues, only straw boogeyman they’ve invented to distract and divide us.

Four years ago a couple of people with combined income of ~$60,000 could buy an average home. It now is over $100,000.
Two people with $20.00 an hour jobs are not going to be buying a home unless their parental units are fronting a shitload of money.

And then miraculously she found a job making nearly 6 figures and turned out she didn’t need to mooch off my parents after all. Weird how that works huh?

He gets very frustrated with my middle daughter in this space. But she is stunning, so I guess he looks past this silly part of her! 😂. My 12 year old would vote Trump if 12 year olds could vote.

Right that’s my point. They’re not doing it because they have to, it’s a choice. So let’s not blame housing costs for this.
Posted by: Montec at April 02, 2024 03:07 PM (4+s9S)
++++
It isn't mutually exclusive. Housing costs are insane. Some are living at home out of necessity, some because it's a better deal and the downsides are worth it, but housing costs in a lot of the country are a brutal problem.
When the median 1-bedroom apartment is $1,800 like it is in Denver, that's a tough pill to swallow. Close to $22k a year in rent alone. To get that at anything approaching safe margins (say, 50% of your income), it implies an annual pretax income of $55k. Even if you push it to 70% of your take-home - dangerous territory - it implies a pretax income of $40k.
That's out of whack.

Here are the swing states: PA; MI; WI; GA; NV; & AZ. THESE are states Biden carried last time, which Trump needs to flip. Of these, MI is the whole ballgame, imo, given the current state of the polls. If Trump wins MI, he can get to 270 without PA & WI.

Sure it was a struggle to be young and on your own, but struggle is how you learn. My parents knew that. Hubby and I knew that. You have to dump them out of the nest if they don't go on their own.

My first job was in NYC. First apartment was $2800 split with a roommate, a friend from college who was a year older than me and already had the place. Which was fortunate for me. Other friends of mine had a hard time finding something, renting in Ny was a fucked up process.
$1400, 20+ years ago for rent. Sorry not seeing the big deal with $1800 today.

If government stays out of it, the market will self-correct. If prices are so high that few people can afford them, then eventually either prices will stagnate while salaries rise, or else prices will fall. An empty house sitting on the market indefinitely does nobody any good.

> Four years ago a couple of people with combined income of ~$60,000 could buy an average home. It now is over $100,000.
______________
Home Depot is selling "tiny home" kits. Some are as low as $19K. Of course, one has to have property, utilities for it if that is the route they want to take.
Some suggest this is the route many will end up taking in order to "own a home."
However many towns, cities and municipalities have codes that prohibit the "tiny home" from being setup in most areas.... likely for property values.

Prices can’t come down as there’s not much inventory (at least where I am).
Also, what makes you think that TPTB want the prices to come down? Wouldn’t it be better if everyone was renting and 4 different companies managed all the property?
Posted by: DoublySymmetric at April 02, 2024 03:14 PM (9mfKN)

Inventory is low because people are stuck. That's a general condition. Can't afford to move (not with today's prices and the price of money), so they stay put. Once forced selling starts - a layoff wave, for example - look out below. The inventory that *could* be listed but isn't will pour onto the market as the owners want to grab higher prices before the declines get worse, pushing prices further. A lot of real estate markets are damn near locked up right now, and they'll stay that way and provide inventory support to prices until there's an event that forces sales.
And the powers that be desperately do *not* want that to happen, to be sure. It isn't even a renter-dependency thing, it's a wall street/big finance thing. Declining prices will be rough as hell on those guys and I'd expect even more chicanery when declines set in. But the market is just too big to pull it off.

20. The number of voters registering without a photo ID is SKYROCKETING in 3 key swing states:
Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania.
http://tiny.cc/m69mxz
The Dems are using NGOs to sign up illegals onto ballots. Want free housing, food, cash money? These NGOs stationed in AZ, TX and Penn will get that for the illegal immigrant, but first as a condition, they have to sign a ballot. Those signed fake ballots are then stored in warehouses and/or staged freight inventory transfer stations until they are needed. Everyone knows this, including the RNC. It's basically an open secret.
The key to winning in 2024? Stop the freight transfer of those signed ballots by illegals before they get to dem controlled election stations and get folded into real ballots - by any means necessary. If they get there first, then they will be counted - and there is nothing the RNC will be able to do about it.

Our town was 7K people when we moved here in 1989. Now it is north of 27K. I am lucky in that I live near the core of the town as it was, so except for people knocking down 3/1 cottages to build McMansions a few blocks away, not much has changed. Downtown was always trendy and boutiquey and had just become more so since the guy that owned half of downtown died and his heirs started cashing out.
The outskirts of town however are exploding with cul-de-sac developments.

In that same market - Denver - the median income is $60k. An in-whack housing market means that this should buy the median house, not the median one-bedroom apartment.
High cost of housing is by no means the only factor, but it is *a* (and I think an important) factor and, "kids these days are lazy shits who are unwilling to pay because they're entitled" disregards a real problem with housing prices in many places.

The more the Lefties and Donks squeal about "overturning an election !!!! reeeee!!!" the more apparent it is to anyone paying attention that the Donks (with GOPe collusion) stole the 2020 re-election from Pres. Trump.

Truth is, they're for the illegals. The local governments don't want anyone to know... so they feed us this bullshit story that the apartments, literally 10's of thousands of individual units are for a couple hundred employees at Ford's battery factory.
Yet, on social media the adverts for them are suspiciously in both English and Spanish.

$60k is $5k a month, $3500 after taxes. $1800 rent is doable. And in Denver one can live without a car which makes it that much more doable.

Denver's public transit isn't actually all that good. It's okay, not great. And being near those transit lines will cost you a lot more than $1800 a month.

Home Depot is selling "tiny home" kits. Some are as low as $19K. Of course, one has to have property, utilities for it if that is the route they want to take.
What a great 'pool house' for the price. Portable toilet, solar/battery storage for electricity, some sort of RV type electric shower (maybe a 'gray water' issue. I like my wife but damn if I had 500 to 1000 feet of 'me' space at that price I'm in.

The layoffs happened last year. Especially in tech. That has slowed down for the most part. I don’t see a massive real estate crash any time soon. Prices have stayed pretty much flat even with 8% mortgages. As soon as the fed starts to loosen and rates come down to 5 or 6% there’s going to be a massive wave of people buying.

Tech is not finished. The bloodletting will continue, likely in fits and starts rather than headline-grabbing "Microsoft lays off 5,000 people" kind of events.
And prices are indeed flat or even still rising, but inventory is in the toilet, and it's in the toilet in part because prices are so high.
If interest rates fall down into the sub-5% range again (or ~5% range), then it will make prices even worse, that's for sure. But mortgages are tied to the 10-year treasury, and they're still in the mid-4s and not likely to drop significantly (the other direction is more likely).
And I didn't say that there'd be a crash. I don't think there will be, in general (some markets might crash). But a long, grinding decline is more likely than continued rising.

One thing about Kennedys ... if you pick a fight with them, they WILL fight back, hard. RFK is not running as a Dem, he's running as "reformer". A Left of center, reformer, to be sure, but not an insane one.

I believe Biden's JA has improved because voters' perception of the economy is improving slightly too.
Uh...okay.

That's a lot of Media Propaganda. Sure, some tech stocks, etc on the NYSE and NASDAQ are hot now, but a lot of companies stock values are stagnant or falling.
Actual employment (full time) has gone DOWN recently, but part time jobs are going up.
Inflation is still pretty bad.
And the worst news is....
Our government is deficit spending about $1Trillion (!) dollars every hundred days. The service on the national debt is now the biggest item in the Federal budget.
What happens (and this is coming real soon) when the service on debt exceeds actual tax revenues?
We are literally facing an economic calamity.

It's old slang. Apparently a "whack" was a share or portion. If something was working well or all portions were fair, the slang saying was that it was in "fine whack." That was opposite to "out of whack." The last phrase survived, but the other two fell out of use.

The thing about ribs is, even when healing, they need to flex while you breathe. Kinda works against healing, doesn't it? Then again, holding your breath is a dead-end solution too.

A real estate friend of mine told me he’s had a lot of inquiries from people looking to buy, but waiting for rates to come down. I think also there’s a yuuuge lent up demand for buying. Everyone is just waiting. But once it starts it’s going to be a cascade as FOMO will kick in again.
You're better off buying as much house as you can now, because once rates start coming down, the market will go bananas. You can always refinance, even multiple times. Ask me how I know.

My sons pay $2400 in rent, they just finished off paying for their cars, utilities run about $400, insurance $140, plus gas, and food. So that's about $3k/month. They also have small student loan payments, of about $180/month. But that's northern virginia. Ill be paying $750/month rent for 1/2 an apartment in state college PA next semester which is still better than the dorms.

The "diversity improves profitability and outcomes" thing is based on a real concept called "idiosyncratic risk." If everyone working in a place is the same, they have no spectrum of differing experience or thought process and so will fail to see major risks or shifts in the market or in business operations. "We don't know what we don't know, and we can't see what we don't know, and all of us know the same thing." This is one of the reasons for pursuing "fresh blood" by recruiting from outside the organization for executive positions - get a new perspective from someone who can see what you literally cannot see.
But the "diversity is our strength" crowd was wearing that very real thing as a skin suit, like they always do. Racial or religious diversity likely doesn't help reduce idiosyncratic risk, and likely actually amplifies it because the diversity boosters hire people only like themselves. No differing perspective or opinion permitted.

Won't it be harder to cheat when they have to cover any lead by Trump and votes for RFKJr.? I'm trying not to underestimate their powers but it seems like it might be harder for them to figure out the number of ballots they need to produce to cover Biden's deficit. Of course, their likely desire then would be to throw it to the House.

Right, and that kind of diversity doesn't correlate to any of the standard DEI parameters. A white guy and a black guy who both are Harvard MBAs will likely have very similar thought processes.

The official plank of the Republican party on slavery was "Free Soil" - no extension of slavery to new states. Even in Kansas with the most dense slavery areas adjacent slave supporters were beaten in migration 10-1. Letting that go would have reduced the political tension tremendously. Problem is that the times had moved past practical thinking to emotion and ideology because slavery was more than economics.

On a side note, how is RFK Jr going to campaign all summer if he can't talk? Not trying to be mean, but communicating is kinda the essence of the job. And I can barely make out WTF he is saying

"... the state party had "complete confirmation that the Biden campaign, as well as national surrogates and national partners, will be investing dollars here."
Uhmmm..."investments" require a rational expectation of positive returns.
If there is no rational reason to hold any such expectation, the correct terminology would be "Spending".
It is near certainty that Biden, his surrogates, and national Partners will be "Throwing some money" at Florida...but not enough to make any real difference.
Just like LBJ taught them...

The official plank of the Republican party on slavery was "Free Soil" - no extension of slavery to new states. Even in Kansas with the most dense slavery areas adjacent slave supporters were beaten in migration 10-1. Letting that go would have reduced the political tension tremendously. Problem is that the times had moved past practical thinking to emotion and ideology because slavery was more than economics.
