I'm 70 years old. I left the Dem Party in 2010 and swore I'd never vote for a Democrat again, but if RFK can win the Dem Primaries, he has my vote! He definitely has my support!
Im going to say it, and im confident, this guy can beat all of them.
He has the the most dangerus combination against the system all, truth and the eye on the real enemy.
If I was american i would vote for him in one milli second.
I'm a socialist and I support this guy, mostly. Just can't wrap my mind around him running within the Democratic party. The DNC will just cheat him, if he ultimately stands a chance in the primaries, like they did to Bernie.
I would be much more enthusiastic for him if he was running as an independent/3rd party candidate.
I know the 3rd party route is mostly doomed, but so is running under the Dem party, expecting those voters to be open minded all of the sudden.. seems like the wrong audience.
A plurality of US citizens are independent/non-voters; forge the way for that lane on the national level, is what I'd suggest.
Much love! Excellent speech!
Much love to those who disagree with my ideology, we're on the same page on lots of things.
Kennedy-Gabbard for 2024!
Elections are corrupt and fraudulent. Look at what happened in 2020. How about Bernie Sanders? I don't see this patriot winning sadly. I will vote for him but I'm not sure it will help. It matters not who votes, it only matters who counts the votes. Stalin's quote.
Bobby Kennedy Jr. is a standup guy
To all you Dems out there, watch how your party and its media industrial complex (social and mainstream) try to destroy this man.
I don’t agree with him all the way down the line. There are 3 major things I am totally on board w him.
1. I am pro vax but anti Covid vax
( the Dem party and it’s media are far too in bed with big pharma to admit that nuance).
2. End the conflict in Ukraine
3. Reach across the isle to end the division at home.
You watch how the Dems destroy him then ask yourself the question. Is the Democratic Party that is the most toxic ever. Do they want what you and I want.
Then ask yourself another question. Do you think the media is fair for what they did to Trump?
The only conclusion to fix the major problems in this world is a TrumpRFK Jr ticket.
I wish we had our own version of RFK jr. here in Canada 😊 Light, Love and Protection for him.
if there was anyone as close as a god to walk this earth it was this mans father – i would have been born into a different world – i say that having no belief in religion or the political systems – cherish this man america
A Glorious Gladiator tossing Truth Bombs far and wide! Does America deserve such a president? God I hope so!
The damaged voicebox of RFK jnr; his mixed and dubious student youth into hard drugs and the friend of criminal relatives and the fact he probably is no longer a rich Kennedy, Robert Kennedy jnr would not have 5 percent of the wealth of EMK when he ran in 1980 or 1 percent of the wealth of Caroline Kennedy a noted and conservative US Ambassador to Japan and now Australia and maybe a serious politicians. So JFK jnr is hardly likely to be a US President But he might be a Kennedy who has warped into a sort of 21C Huey LongA real shaker unlike the cretin warmwarmonger National Guard traitor also from Cape Cod arrested a few days ago. I disagree with Kennedy's attack on US Capitalism and the fact the state progresses by favouring the beautiful and intelligent and the necessary creative destruction of the poor and stupid by freedom, capitalism and drugs. There is no other way As Reagan and RFK said, the real one.The US is the last and only hope. And it isn't junior here. He is right on a big issue. China is the threat. Ukraine is a Russian civil war doing irreversible damage to Russia as a European nation and daily strengthening China.
Next election for the first time ever could be a win win situation
Praying for you RFK that you have a safe run and win the nomination.
If you don't vote him in in the US can we have him over here in the UK.
what kind of problem has this man with his throat? real glad for usa but antivax!!!!???
Broke my heart when his agenda never mentions VETERANS not even in the Peace section or in his speeches.. I want to join as a first generation Irish American VETERAN but he ignores us while tapping into the legacy of his uncle the great President John F Kennedy, who was a famous VETERAN. American VETERANS have the highest suicide, incarceration and homeless rates of all oppressed minorities in America but you ignore all that suffering. I will raise your lack of compassion issues for Americas VETERANS on the campaign trail. Why does he ignore American Veterans and their plight? RFK really broke my heart.
I wish I was amecican for a day to vote for him.
I had to search for a long time for the whole speech. Thank you for posting it!
RFK Jr should be our next President. He's not afraid to tell the truth. His father would have made a great President. He can help Americans transcend their differences.
As a NY resident who lives close to the Hudson I want to salute RFK Jr. for helping to save my river. 500 lawsuits!!!! He's got my vote and I will help in his primary run
In America every one citizen has got a right to see dreams of his own choice . But Mr Kennedy has got one thing extra to get the nomination from the party and that is only of being Kennedy family . This 2023 , and this is not enough to succeed in getting nomination support . Obviously he belongs to a rich family but there are American more then 250 Billioner. But it is not the qualifications to get nomination support from the party . Let him try his best .
Finally, an uncorrupt patriot! Im a right leaning independant but you've got my vote.
I left the Democratic Party in 2021 when it became clear that the party no longer aligned with my values. The censorship and eroding of our freedom of choice being the most egregious. I have been quietly watching the 3rd parties ever since.
THIS MAN will bring me back to the Democratic Party. You have my vote, President Kennedy!
LET'S GO BABY!!!!!
💖💖💖💯
He definitely does his homework. Bright and levelheaded. Love his compassion for our country.
He's taking on the MOST powerful interests on the planet. I will vote for him. I'll put a bumper sticker for him on my car (which I never do), and I'll spread the word about his greatness. But I'm worried about him and his family. I'd love for Catherine Austin Fitts to be his VP.
The volume and echo is horrible, can't hear it
I'm not sure if I support him or not. But, I hope he convinces me to. Because I was born in 56 and his Dad and Uncle were so important to me and my family. Loved them and miss them! Great to see the Kennedy name again!
This guy actually gives me hope.
What's up with his voice? Is he ok?
Thumbs down for the sound quality. Can’t even hear RFK Jr clearly. I hope I can find a better production
Had me until he blamed Trump for covid lockdowns. That was democrats yall. Not trump!
I switched from Trump to Kennedy!! ❤️
A voice of sanity in a quagmire of nonsense. We need RFK Jr.
OnGod this is the last exit before ww3
I didn't walk till I was 2, at least. Nuffin wrong wif my IQ either. IQ is not related to quantity of schooling. If it exists. Maybe the bench marks were due for revision? Maybe they mean nothing much anyway other than broad markers of general achievement?
I am a Trump voter… but today I became a Kennedy supporter. Today I felt hopeful for the first time in a long, long time. Fantastic speech! I believe him!
I'm 26 years old I have never voted but I would vote for Kennedy in a second!!
