I’m sorry, you know … I don’t want to pop anyone’s pimple or anything, but US politics, my good people, is at this point in its history, a brain-dead enterprise.
Everyone is bought. Everyone
You don’t gain entry to the TV Colosseum unless you’re bought.
Once inside, you are given extravagantly lucrative rewards, but only if you do everything you’re told to do … at least in terms of the deal memo that you at some point signed in blood.
You vote how you’re told to vote. There are no independents. Independence is a marketing fantasy … a drug ad.
I will admit to being a whole lot fonder of RFK Jr., as an unaffiliated human, than I am of any other still breathing politician … but think about what you’re thinking about here, and how much energy is being poured into this fruitless hope monger, energy that could be better used elsewhere to inspire and awaken people to their own power, outside the reach of yet another compromised politician … even one as appealing as RFK Jr.
Hey, maybe you think he’s not compromised. Oh, that’s a nice thought. Hold onto that. Keep it in a nice warm place.
He is clearly a smart and practical man. He has success written all over him. He always has. He has white man’s privilege, incarnate.
At the same time, Bobby never had a problem being a booby, whenever he needed to be.
He was a staunch Hillary supporter, when he had to be.
He has always been a strong supporter of Israel when he had to be.
He is strong climate change supporter when he has to be.
He is even a strong vaccine supporter when he has to be.
I’m sure he’d be great in a one-on-one conversation in some lovely library with a fire burning … or on the patio on a summer evening in Hyannisport.
But all that is just to say he’s another sheep dog - perhaps the best one yet … but a sheep dog nonetheless … with nary a chance of winning the nomination, because his quite substantial intelligence makes regular and evil corrupt Democrats totally uncomfortable … and even though his policies are practical and kind of mostly sound, that doesn’t really matter anymore … because the game he is entered into is so hopelessly rigged that all that’s left is ego and the paranoia that follows it closely like the Neverland crocodile that followed Captain Hook.
All your good energy spent chasing this wild goosey with a 50+ million net worth would be better spent imagining new possibilities for yourself and your loved ones, and in pushing your imagination to see and understand complex matters at new levels … levels that might still exhibit signs of unpredictable outcomes.
US politics is not one of those things, and it hasn’t been for quite a while … not even for a professed free marketer. This is not the 80s.
Politics, as we once knew it, has been totally gutted, and the only part they left in us lace was the bullshit part.
But good luck to you anyway.
Like I’ve been saying, for the last 3+ years, I only wish I was wrong.
