RFK Jr. is polling in third place, only 3rd party person that is polling that high in a while.
Robert's super pacs are receiving wealthy backing and lobbyist support, same as the bloods/crips.
Either way good when people call out politicians instead of oinly defending them.
Cornel West started losing people when he got Peter Daou, as Campaign Manager, then when he left the Green Party (44+ states possible) to the independent party (29+ states possible).
Shouldve stayed with the green party. Really hurt his chances imo.
Yes, you are right!
That is why now many have started thinking that he was never serious, he is doing another Bernie Sanders, sheep hearding to the Blue No Matter Who.
It would have split the vote more if he stayed, which would effect the duopoly.
Strange to compare the full-on movement Bernie brought with whatever peanut shells West is scraping off the floor right now.
Comparing how both are not willing to push against the status quo, they only go so far, we now know what works to help the movement and what does not.
Dr. West did leave the duopoly, so props for that.
Sanders went through 2016 and seemed to learn nothing. Then 2020 came by again and he stayed the same.
These are more harsh critics of him, on his actions and how he is just the dog of the democrats.
Just the take I’d expect from someone with jimmy dore is a lefty as their name.
Well, Jimmy Dore is not the only one.
I think he just has a way of explaining things in a bruttal manner, which riles up some people.
No sugar coating.
He is suprisingly quite on RFK Jr. and what he said about Israel-Palestine.
Kim Iverson did call RFK Jr. out, which is good.
RFK Jr. was trying to seem as a antiwar person, but now we know better.
Only gullible people were ever fooled by Robby.
He is not a serious man.
Most people tend to give the benefit of the doubt, before calling them out.
Bernie Sanders was a hard one to find out.
Dr. Cornel West was called out when interviewed by Jimmy Dore, then West got Peter Daou as manager.
RFK Jr. was found out when Israel-Palestine talks were brought up.
AOC and the Justice Democrats are others that have been called out, as well.
Only gullible people took Robby seriously.
