I think RFK, Jr. might be the only presidential candidate who could purge - perhaps even abolish - a few of these totalitarian agencies. My first thought was he had no chance of winning ... but now I've changed my view.

RFK is the one Democrat I would vote for, so at least as far as I am indicative of independents with an old-school liberal outlook, yes, he stands a chance in the general, but I doubt he'll survive the primary. The Democrat Machine is just that, a Machine.
Great pithy analysis. Yes, Kennedy would have to beat a "machine" that exists to defeat candidates like himself. He would have a much better chance as an independent in the general primary ... maybe that will happen?
I think a Kennedy/Desantis ticket would be ideal.,,Desantis is already being targeted by Trump because Trump sees him as a powerful adversary and a viable threat!
I believe Vivek Ramaswamy would as well. I'm not sure either one would survive their term. Check out the book The Declassification Engine as a great insight into the history of this tyranny of information control and the abuses that result.
I really like Vivek Ramaswamy a lot. Unfortunately we live in a country that’s pretty shallow. My guess is that even if he could get the nomination, I doubt he would win just based on his name alone. I can hear my grandmother now.....”do you plan on voting for what’s his name? Where is that man from? Who else is running?”
Perhaps we can convince Vivek Ramaswamy of a quick name change like Vinny Richardson or Victor Rothschild. That way it’s a lock to get granny’s vote.
That and most people are just too uninformed or simple to understand his policies. There's a whole culture of hating smart people and as soon as those people hear him speak they will shut down. It's sad.
Even while the US was engaged in a war in the Middle East, Barack Hussein Obama was elected president. IMHO the name is not the issue.
The issue for me is that there is a deeply entrenched two-party system where the politicians are loyal to the party and not the electorate. Corrupt politics abounds. Our representatives vote against the interests of the citizens they represent to attain political power. They lie and deceive with impunity and the lame street media support government corruption. The federal government is no longer a limited government and structurally this too enables corruption on a massive scale.
Normally, I would agree with you on that. However, Barack Obama was to be the first black president in which many people I believe thought the country was not just ready for, but overdue. He had been an elected senator, and was one of the most articulate public speakers of our time. Getting all of the Democrat vote was a lock in his case but he pulled a huge swath of independent and moderate Republicans too. I’m not saying that it’s impossible for Vivek Ramaswamy to win, it might just be a heavier lift than Obama.
I won't guarantee you're wrong, but the one thing going for him is that white middle America, the place where I grew up, is long familiar with people of Indian descent. My "stereotype" of Indian Americans (immigrants and first-generation born in the US) was of educated, hardworking people, because all the Indian Americans I knew were doctors or professors, and I had come across more Indian Americans than I had black people. I never had the stereotype that most "Coasters" do of hotel and convenience store owners. So I think the situation is more nuanced than you think and you might be surprised by Ramaswamy's chances.
That’s fair and I that has certainly been my experiences with Indian Americans. We’ll have to see if he can capture the rural south/midwest/appalachia vote. He seems to be the best qualified to run on the Republican ticket IMO. I’d love to see him win.
What makes you think that people living on the coasts hold stereotypical views of Indian-Americans? This is abject nonsense. It's also insulting to both Americans and Indian-Americans.
I support any candidate who tries to speak the truth and expose the corrupt agencies and powerful captured entities. The sad truth is almost any candidate who tries to do this will be ignored, censored and smeared. So there's only a very few people with the name ID and stature who can say the same things and still reach a lot of people. Kennedy of course falls into this select group (because of his famous name but also his life's work, which is impressive). Donald Trump fell into this group because of his fame. Ron Paul kind of got there just because of persistence, but he was far easier to dismiss and defeat.
I think it's "Kennedy or bust" for those of us who want "real change." Maybe Ron DeSantis, who has certainly gone against the authorized narrative in Covid times.

I am a 25 year independent in NYC. I will register as a "D" to get him on the General Election ballot.

I don't know that that is true, unless "Barack Obama" has tainted "foreign sounding" names.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe what I see in TV and movies, the culture of which is dominated by the coasts. *shrug* Take your complaints up with them.
