If Democrats care so much about democracy and voter rights, why are they actively trying to keep RFK Jr. off of ballots?

[Anonymous]

Democrats like to attack Republicans for voter suppression while actively trying to keep candidates off of ballots, which in it self is a form of voter suppression. Yes, not allowing voters to vote for a particular candidate is a form of voter suppression.

[rigmarole]

They've been rigging your primaries for a long time. RFK is just trying to make that blatantly clear to you. Sometimes you can't TELL the public the truth. YOU MUST SHOW THEM.

[rigmarole]

How do you think you ended up with a dementia patient as your presidential candidate with a back woman that no one voted for as his vice presidential candidate after the establishment pumped endless funds into said black woman? The rigged your primary election. Then they went on and rigged the general election in a coup d'état... Yet Democrats denied the rigging... They did the same thing in the midterms. Here we are again and they are rigging your primary in front of your face again. Wake up!

[rigmarole]

*They

[Asker]

I have woken up, it was kind of obvious both the 2016 and 2020 primary was rigged. No way Biden went from last place with not support to front runner overnight without the DNC elite doing the fix to ensure Sanders wouldn't get the nomination.

[madhatters4]

so a PAC (who always have agendas rooted in $$) send a text and your takeaway is democrats are trying to strip voting rights? come on bro

giving voters access to voting is what voting rights is about. PACs are not about democracy. they are about money and economic based agenda

[Taffy1234]

LMAO You struck a nerve.

[Asker]

Apparently I did. Bleu-MAGA's just can't comprehend that not all democrats are far left wokest, but hey what do I know, I'm not a life long Democrat even tho I've been registered as one since I started voting. These same Blue-MAGA's attacking fellow Democrats for not being far left wokest would be attacking JFK as a right winger.

[Avicenna]

They screwed Bernie Sanders over in 2016 and 2020, so why wouldn't they try their best to keep RFK Jr from even getting to that point?

[Asker]

This very sh! t is what helped Trump win in 2016, DNC angered many voters when they stole primary and forced Hillary down everyone's throat. All this election rigging is why I left the Dem party after the 2020 election. Will come back long enough to vote for RFK Jr.

[RealMarek]

They like a system in which the winner is the one who can farm the most people. The GOP stole the primary from Ron Paul and the DNC stole the primary from Bernie.

[najekim]

The Democrats and Republicans have been blocking, most being the better, candidates for decades. Rules about having so much campaign money or so many points in a poll, which actually shouldn't mean a thing, are a couple ways they block others.

[exitseven]

Their guy is Joe Biden. He is just an empty shell who can be manipulated, RFK jr. is a wild card. He is not in anyone's pocket and is an enemy of big pharma. Big Pharma has the Big Guy bought and paid for.

[KostasKouvalis]

They're trying to protect him. They don't want another Kennedy to get whacked

[Anonymous]

Rigged elections and debates have been the name of the game for the democratic party for decades.

That said i think RFK is really just a leftist phony being played up too much

[John_Doesnt]

Democracy is not about letting any idiot run for office.

[Asker]

It's not up to the government or any political party to decide who should or shouldn't run for office. Should not be up to anyone except voters who decide.

[John_Doesnt]

so it's not up to the government to decide that someone under 35 can't run? it's not up to the government to decide a convicted person of inciting an insurrection can't run? the government can't decide a person who isn't born in america can't run? Those are all decided by the government

[Asker]

Not up to the government or any political party to decided who should and shouldn't run provided they meet all the legal requirements. Not agreeing with someone is not a reason to keep someone from running for president.

[John_Doesnt]

it's already been decided that a person under the age of 35 can't run and a person who is not born in America can't run and a person who incited an insurrection can't run. Republicans didn't have a problem saying Obama shouldn't be allowed to run because he's a Muslim born in Kenya.

[WhiteBoyChill]

“Not up to the government or any political party to decided who should and shouldn't run provided they meet all the legal requirements”

Did you seriously just skip over reading what he wrote?

[John_Doesnt]

@WhiteBoyChill the government decided after the Civil War to make the 14th amendment banned those who “engaged in insurrection” against the United States from holding any civil, military, or elected office without the approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate. It was decided by the government to ban Confederates from running for office.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Well yeah, but the practices in which the DNC is doing, is unconstituional

[John_Doesnt]

@WhiteBoyChill it was the Republican party who invented the 14th amendment and the GOP had no problem trying to disqualify Obama when they were spreading rumors of him not being born in America.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I was talking about trying to rig a primary against the voters wishes. Not the 14th amendment.

Also, what those Republicans who are guilty did is also wrong, but let’s stay on topic and not deflect too much here

[John_Doesnt]

@WhiteBoyChill there has never been a rigged election, that is another conspiracy. There is no deflecting. We're talking about political parties trying to prevent an unqualified individual from running for office. If it turned out Obama really wasn't born in America then he should have been prevented from running. You're just another MAGA nut who can't handle the truth that Donnie is a criminal who incited an insurrection.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Well, he rightfully won the election after all, and I still see no proper justification as to why all sorts of ballot dumps happened after election day itself.

The rule was that ballots could still be counted if they’d been postmarked with a date prior to the election. And that in itself is an issue of integrity, as anyone with political motives could falsify any date they chose. And there were postmaster generals who came forward in hearings, but their claims were all but dubiously ignored citing the “lack of evidence”.

If you still have faith in the justice system, that is fine, but keep in mind this is the same justice system that has shown time and time again, that it is, in fact, a politically motivated one. Notice how we have yet to see any sort of wide scale investigations into the Biden Crime family. The Hunter Biden investigation was softballed, compared to the extent in which the Mueller investigation and Russian collusion went on for.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You’d be foolish to believe that the Justice system isn’t in any way politically motivated. There was plenty of evidence of election misconduct shown in court, but all of it was dubiously dismissed.

And I don’t care that many of the judges were appointed by Trump either. As many of them still have alterior motives and corruption in politics does in fact run very deep

[John_Doesnt]

@WhiteBoyChill you're probably one of those people who also believe in angels and the moon landing was fake. You'll believe anything from Q so there's really no point in talking to someone who is so deep in conspiracy theories.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You can continue making false assumptions and assertions about me, or we can have an honest discussion. It is your choice, and I will leave it up to you.

[John_Doesnt]

@WhiteBoyChill it's not a false assertion to call you a conspiracy theorist if you believe the election was stolen. There is 0 evidence of mass election fraud and that particular election was one of the most scrutinized in American history. Multiple recounts and all confirmed that Biden won. And you didn't try to deny you believe in angels or the moon landing was faked. If you believe one conspiracy then it's likely you believe in others.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I did deny those assetions though. I said you were making false assumptions about me. Also its pretty obvious that you prefer to have truth be whatever your ideological narrative supports

[Soteris]

Are they? I dont know a single democrat who gives two shits about RFK Jr. It is only Republicans who are playing him up as some kind of contender.

[Asker]

As a life long Democrat along with other's I know are supporting him. And secondly, you don't have to like a candidate to understand they have every right to be on the ballot just like everyone else.

[Soteris]

You know what? I am feeling confident today so I am just going to call you out for lying. I dont believe for one fucking second that you are a "life long Democrat" nor do I think that you know a single other "life long Democrat" that are supporting him.

As far as I can see he is a fucking nobody and does not nearly have enough of a support base to warrant a position on the ballot. Just because someone wants to be president does not mean they are automatically added to the ballot, that would make it one hell of a long ballot. You need to prove that you actually have some kind of backing to make you relevant enough to be included.

[Asker]

Call me out all you, cause your flat out wrong. Been a register Democrat since 2008, voted for Obama twice and have voted in every single primary. The problem with you Blue-MAGA's, is everyone has to be a far left, woke Democrat or your not a Democrat like, moderate Democrat isn't a thing. If JFK was alive today, you Blue-MAGA's would be labeling him a Russia loving right winger.

[Soteris]

Dude, I am not even American and I think the Democrats are corrupt and incredibly incompetent. Does not change the fact that you are lying to me.

[Asker]

OK I'm lying even tho my voting record says otherwise.

[Soteris]

Yepp. Dont trust you for a moment there bud.

[Asker]

Have a nice day Blue-MAGA.

[Soteris]

If anyone is blue maga then its RFK Jr. supporters. Got the conspiracy theories down and everything.

[Dargil]

Because they don't.

[slatyb]

"They?" That's just one person.

[Spongebobssocks]

😂🤣

[OddBeMe]

My god…a text? What if that link gets tweeted? #EndofDemocracy.

[Asker]

Just because it's a text doesn't mean it's true. During the 2020 election Democrats in many states fought to keep green party of the ballots, my state was one of them. If the DNC is afraid of people voting green/3rd party, then don't give voters a reason to vote green/3rd party.

[OddBeMe]

No one can keep anyone off the general election ballot if they hit all requirements.
You’re stupidly thinking of the primaries.

[Asker]

That simply not true, the system is broken. Time and again, election officials will ignore election laws, and instead make decisions according to what is best for their party. Keeping green party off of presidential ballots benefits Democrat candidate.

[OddBeMe]

I won’t say the media and other powerful machinations won’t be against you, but you could be on next year’s presidential ballot. There’s just signatures you have to get and a semi-large sum you have to give as fee. And each state might have extra fees and shit.

It’s obviously slanted toward connected and rich Americans. But you won’t be “ignored” or laws won’t be broken to keep you off the ballot.
