Everyone in the mainstream media said that RFK Jr wouldn't be on the ballot in 2024. They called is a pipe dream, unthinkable, not a chance...

He's on the ballot in 45 states (accounting for 93% of the electorial college votes) and will be on all 50 states + Washington DC by election time.

The grassroots effort to achieve this collected over 1,000,000 signatures, setting an all time record.

Now the mainstream media says RFK Jr doesn't have a chance at winning, yet he's the only candidate I've seen who doesn't engage in name calling and demonizing his opponents. He talks about policy, and only promises things that he can do without congress. Things like cutting government spending, giving first time home buyers a guaranteed 3% interest rate for a home loan without raising taxes, and so forth.

Promoting the divisive two party system gets the media outlets more views, which means they get more money from advertisers. It's amazing how often the incentives and behavior are aligned! Change the incentives, change the world.

That's why he can't win. The major party candidates don't behave the way they do on accident. They do what they do because that's what works.

That behavior is why 51% of voters consider themselves independent instead of aligned with a political party. It turns out, the majirity of the people are sick of this shit. And the endless wars, empty promises, and all the other disappointments.

That's why Kennedy can win. But the smear campaigns like "he eats dogs" and "he's a conspiracy theorist" are powerful and the meme that "a 3rd party candidate can never win/you're wasting your vote" is even more powerful. That's the only reason Ross Perot lost in 1992. The exit polls showed Perot was the top choice for 40% of voters, but many votes for someone else because they thought he couldn't win. Had they voted for the best candidate, Perot would have been more votes than any other candidate.

Ser, there is nothing mainstream about the so-called “mainstream” media.

Consider using use any combination of the terms captured, banker, psy-op, corporate, unfree, npc, slave, propaganda to describe these so-called media outlets.
