It's interesting that as of last week RFK had a 49% favorable rating and very low unfavorable rating among independent voters. Biden was at 47% and a high unfavorable vote, and Trump at 43% with a considerably higher (than Biden) unfavorable vote.
Does anyone know if donations and/or merch purchases go to the DNC in some way? Would be nice to be able to donate directly to the candidate while in no way giving contributions (or even personal information) to Act Blue or the DNC or any other entity.
After sending my contribution I received a phone call from a lead for the online planning for the Kennedy#24 campaign. We had a conversation where I shared ideas and questions for clarification on platform that I have been seeing many ask such as about climate and the right to bear arms. I sent follow up questions by email to that person who was responsive. The campaign in the last two months has grown fast and is inundated with requests and is calling for volunteers who can help in all manner of ways. There are many updates on RFKJr's Twitter feed and on related supporter feeds so that is helpful. I take the vast surge in interest as a very good sign but it does strain the small starter organization supporting structure that will need to grow fast.
I watched the Roundtable too. I wonder at some point if both Trump and Kennedy pivot to running as independents after being discounted by their own parties yet getting the all the publicity and spotlight each need. Colonel Douglas MacGregor expressed his disappointment that Trump isn't running as an independent. That could shake things up.
RFKJr has been clear when those who question his choice to run as a Democrat rather than an Independent that one of his goals is to challenge the DNC as it stands now and to reclaim some of its old values such as anti-war anti-censorship and destroying the CIA and enormous domestic surveillance and control apparatus. The DNC is already fighting him hard and he is having to find ways around it. Funds going to Kennedy go to his campaign. If one sends funds to the DNC your are sending $ that will be used to undermine Kennedy. I don't even think ACT Blue has an avenue to raise funds for Kennedy, it is wholly separate.
Kennedy notes that if he ran as an Independent now he would not be getting the attention he is currently attracting. He explained this in a policy round table live streamed on Rumble yesterday. He mentioned he now had 800+ pending requests for media interviews and he stated he was certain that would not be the case if he were running independently. This way, he says he has a whole year to raise awareness, challenge all candidates right and left, answer questions, establish and clarify a platform, build a following and an infrastructure of supporters and volunteers. It is already an epic fight.
I think even for DeSantis or Trump supporters running against a Kennedy will make those candidates better: sharpen and make specific their positions. For Trump how will he accomplish this time what he failed to do last time? That will be the nature of the conversations. All three of these candidates represent pushback to deep state and status quo in some way so that would be a good outcome getting that far.
That's a good question! I remember when I donated to Ron Johnson and my sister told me I shouldn't have bothered because my donation went to the Republican party and not to Ron Johnson... :(
I've never donated to a candidate in my life. Always considered it a waste of money. But this guy, he's changing the conversation, so win or lose I think it's worth keeping him afloat through the campaign. I disagree with him on many things but I love that he rattles the swamp's cage and doesn't back away from calling out the CIA's involvement in the assassinations.
He is an anti 2nd amendment and climate change radical. There are many videotapes of him spouting off about it. There are also pro vaccine/mandate interviews from the past!! A leopard doesn’t change it spots. He supports the Democratic platform, so it’s a no go.

• 17 Feb 18
“Parkland students are right; the NRA is a terror group.”
These claims are just not true. Kennedy is busy making clear his positions on these issues in a variety of posted statements and interviews.
He supports the constitution firmly including 2a. He is keenly interested on exploring school gun violence and the reasons for that. Lately he has been talking more about the role of psychiatric polypharmacy, too many untested vaccines, toxic exposures on youth and their poor health which might have some bearing on the violence.
The stance on climate has a strong focus on reducing pollution and environmental toxins that are harming the ecosystem. As a lifelong outdoorsman and Waterkeeper he describes how he has been sensitive to climate changes he witnesses that also affect birds, fish etc. and feels those are real. He describes a more open learning stance, where unlike vaccines he has deeper expertise. On yesterday's policy round table when questioned about climate he acknowledged he has more learning to do about the role of carbon, but in no way is endorsing the proposed "green" policies of EVs for everyone or blaming gas stoves or farming. He did say that coal is clearly a poor solution and we need to turn away from that. So the comments are nuanced, specific and can't be at this time painted with broad sweeping claims and statements.
He said damning things about the deterioration of the WHO and its complete turning away from original useful solutions to world health problems that were locally based and common sense like sanitation, water access, etc.
Whether Kennedy, Trump or DeSantis, these candidates will all have areas of great overlap and agreement and thus respect for certain aspects of each other's platforms. There will be vigorous disagreement on some points and I think each will learn from each other in those conversations if we can get to that point. Those could be authentic debates taking place over time not just in slick showdown mainstream media displays. They will all be welcoming of speaking with each other. That alone will challenge both traditional DNC and RNC structures who thought they could control narratives and campaigning structures.
I'm in the same blur here in Canada, where the tribe wherein my social identity felt comfortable was far off on the human rights, free speech, equal op side.
Former lefty cohorts are now demanding more censorship. Worried about misinformation.
The C word here is Conservative, which makes me laugh and gag at the same time thinking that a few of them are now making real sense and have good ideas. I've always heard that might happen....but never thought it would happen to me.
Those are good points about the way that surveillance state eats away at constitutional rights slowly and indirectly. What good will guns do inside a digital prison?
For any parent of a vaccine injured child, RFK has been a voice for the discriminated against and marginalized for a very long time!
May God bless this man and keep him safe.
He spoke at the protest at the state capital in Hartford in 2020 when CT lost their vaccine religious exemption for school entry- making some families medical refugees in the great bleed blue state of CT under the rule of King Ned.
I agree with you about Israel but show me a candidate who is good on all issues. West would have let people in this country die the way Palestinians are dying and what happens to my kids is more important to me than a nice foreign policy. Kennedy is flat out wrong about Israel but if you figure that Israel (the united CIA-Mossad gang) was involved in killing his dad , maybe he's playing is safe during the campaign. If any of the COVIDIOTS (including West) get in, our kids could die. He's the least pro-Israel of all those with a shot at the Presidency.
I think, rather, that RFK is playing in very safe on Israel so that he can get a hearing for his more risky positions. He knows exactly what Israel is doing to the Palestinians, but so far, he's decided to cool his act on this crucial issue.
Mark, before you ask for contributions for RFK Jr. I would dig deeper into the info @GoodDog is digging up on him. Do your homework and eliminate any potential of getting caught up in the perhaps most sophisticated propaganda ever. Here’s some comments GoodDog shared today, “… To me, it appears he (RFK) is milking the incredulity of what Obama did through his surrogates. Why has RFK, Jr. not called for an investigation into the weaponization of many Viruses (Marburg) through Ukraine front companies/DTRA? Why has he not mentioned that Wuhan, China is the HQ for CCP-PLA Intelligence? Why has he not characterized or described how the cover-up began back in December 2019 (before the virus public debut)? Why has he not called out the Obama Officials who participated in the run-up to Event 201? Why has he not called out Anthony Fauci's 2005 Spanish Flu/Viral Pneumonia study which proved masks were deadly? There are so many questions and uncomfortable answers.
Yes, much of what he says about the Virus and the Jax are true. But, this is like complaining about a tick bite - and forgetting that the tick's bite carried a deadly contagion. Furthermore, where are his comments about Guaranteed Basic Income, ESG/CBDC, Organized Censorship, Weaponization of Government, et al? And where are his public protestations about Child Trafficking? Look higher in the thread to Maggie Nixon and parents connections.
There is much to discuss here ... just haven't gotten to it yet.”
It’s a pathetic testimony to what remains of the Dem party that RFK has only raised $4 million from 20% (16 million) of the 84 million Dems who supposedly elected Biden. All of the money in the Dem party is from globalist war-loving billionaires who fund perma-war, fascist Deep State bureaucrats, corrupt elections, insane LGBTQs groomers, and vaccine loving Marxists.
P.S. I’m a Trump voter who already contributed twice to RFK Jr., but the party he’s trying to lead no longer exists.
It's all the money laundering that FTX was sending back as donations from the tax money we sent to Ukraine. Both parties got a piece of that action. Notice how all the talk about it magically went away.
No, I don't donate to pro-abortion liberals!!! He is just another typical liberal anti-life, pro-abortion Kennedy. Don't be fooled by him, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Go beyond the few things you might agree with and look at what this liberal nut has supported over a long Washington career. No money, no vote.
For the record he supports 1st trimester abortion. All the rest that evolved since the early days of Roe v. Wade should be banned. That is a start. In an era where birth control is so easy to get and without stigma I am amazed at how much abortion still occurs. Originally pro-choice in my views, to my horror I believe the abortion industry grew to serve biotech, university research, and human parts trafficking. So there is actually perverse incentive in the system for women to have unwanted pregnancy because it is also serves the big pharma and biological research and profit machines. When I listen to Kennedy that is how I hear his position as well.
If he wants a donor base, he need to do what Bernie did. Bernie sold us out later but he did free events with thousands and then he would sent out a mass email and millions would come in in dollars within hour. Kennedy's San Diegp event charged $40 to $6600 per ticket and people who went feel they paid and are saving up for the next event. It was essentially an all white event for the affluent and he got a thousand or fewer people there. He charges for yard signs and flyers. No other campaign does that. Because Bernie did it in a winning way, peoople saacrificed to send him whatever they could. RFK needs to start doing mass events for free as he will get more from those mass events than from smaller events that charge . RFK''s campaign is coming across more like a money-making scheme and it wouldn't and he''d get a great deal more money if he changed his campaign startegy. He needs to treat this more like Presidential campaign than a pay to see him or join him event. Also, I've been trying to buy yard signs and his site doesn't even work right. RFK is a great candidate but his campaign is a loser.
why don't you volunteer? they're underfunded, understaffed and begging for volunteers. money making scheme? they have $4 million total thus far, which is 1/100th of what biden spent in 2020. they could easily blow their entire budget just on free yard signs. and yes, lots of candidates charge for yard signs. you can easily buy one yourself or print your own.
I've filled out the volunteer form multiple times. They don''t follow through. The only one who gets back to people is Dennis Kucinich,himself, but the people in charge of California or volunteerism or activities never respond. I think all the TeamKennedy email goes into a black hole. And the website keeps losing passwords and doesn't recognize reset passwords and the product order site has a lot of problems too. I'm not sure anyone is at home inside the campaign structure. At the CDP convention, it''s SOP for all campaigns to have a presence. I kept suggesting it. The only one there I saw promoting RFK was me, though delegateships were being removed from a number of delegates who had acknowledged backing Kennedy. From the podium, they pretended only Biden was in the race. I spoke with Barbara Lee about how her friend Dennis was the campaign manager and I think that may have awakened her a little. She is surprisingly uniformed and didn't know Dennis was the campaign manager. She also is oblivious to what is going on in Ukraine and with Assange. But I suspect she is afraid to learn more about things as the party is gutting people who tell the truth. Quite a number of people who were being quiet about the race told me privately they would be voting for RFK. But he has a superdelegate problem as all superdelegates who support RFK are being removed as superdelegates. So he has to win overwhelmingly in the primaries to overcome the superdelegate disadvantage. And that''s why he needs the giant events or they can easily claim he didn't get any votes---given all the drop boxes and mail in voting in CA and elsewhere. What he needs is a strategist who knows about creating a movement with the campaign. His campaign seems to be closer to the Amway strategy than to a winning strategy.
I'm buying a sign. I want a sign I can buy to put on my fence that says NO MORE FRIGGING MRNA too. I sent a contribution to RFK jr. The fate of the world hangs in the balance, as they say, so I think of him as Frodo, pure of heart, untouchable by the lure of the ring of power, trying to get to Mordor to destroy it, and we all together must be Sam, since the forces arrayed against him are formidable, like orcs and evil wizards filled with narcisistic rage. Only it isn't a fantasy.
Today, my doctor told me that the people in her office who had been jabbed had more severe COVID and have more health problems post jab. She hasn't been jabbed but she got a light case of COVID, which was close to nothing. None of my current doctors have been jabbed. That's one reason I chose them. I'm concerned about the food. They're putting it into livestock and veggies. I hope organic food is okay. And watch out what the vets give your pets. Some pet jabs have the poison in them and you have to verify the ingredients with your vet.
I think you're absolutely right. I remember well the Bernie comment "my average donation is $27". That resonated with us plebes. It isn't clear to me whether RFK believes he can win a candidacy or just wants to force the eventual establishment candidates to have conversations about topics they would prefer to avoid. Is he merely sheepdogging, a la Bernie: "diverting the enthusiasm of activists early on, and when the sheepdog inevitably folds in the late spring or early summer, before November's election, there's no time left to win ballot access for alternative parties or candidates"? I'm not gonna donate until RFK articulates his plan, as a Dem, to win the candidacy. It is literally impossible without destruction of the DNC. So if he is serious, he must eventually run as an independent, which guarantees him nothing in the two-party election system. Does he just want to travel and do interviews on alt media for a year? That's okay. But just be honest about it.
The Presidency of the United States affects the entire world. Can Canadians support the RFK jr campaign? I ask because Mr. Trudeau is paranoid about American housewives supporting the convoy, hopefully my American brothers and sisters are not so paranoid.
IVERMECTIN/HYDROXY work, Who knew, When did they know, Who suppressed it.
Hah! By the time of the convoy, I had retired and was indeed a housewife again. And contributed both in $$$ and in my interest (glued to my screen for weeks)
It’s a shame that RFK Jr cancelled on Moms For Liberty. He had an audience of open-minded medical freedom mamas eager to hear what he had to say... Now we all wonder if he caved to pressure so quickly. Did he buy the narrative that moms who opposed school mandates for EUA jabs are... fascists?
Though I’m a Trump supporter I donated to RFKJ. The more good voices, the better.
An interesting and welcoming position.
It's interesting that as of last week RFK had a 49% favorable rating and very low unfavorable rating among independent voters. Biden was at 47% and a high unfavorable vote, and Trump at 43% with a considerably higher (than Biden) unfavorable vote.
Shocking that Biden's is so high. God save the queen and all... Lipid nanoparticles crossing the blood-brain barrier is all I can think about that.
If I were American I'd invest in RFK. You are fortunate to have him running, talking, and making sense all at the same time.
Me too Datagal.
Does anyone know if donations and/or merch purchases go to the DNC in some way? Would be nice to be able to donate directly to the candidate while in no way giving contributions (or even personal information) to Act Blue or the DNC or any other entity.
it definitely does not, he would never allow that, it only goes to his campaign
I'm not so sure about that. There might be dues to be in "The Big Boys Club."

They probably aren’t allowed to say anything

Thanks for putting that out there. I did the same and wouldn’t have, if I’d known the R’s would get any part of it.
great question -
Monthly donor here :)
Me too!! He just had 2 private fundraisers here in the Cleveland area I couldn’t afford that 😂 but I’m giving a little every month
I've never donated to a candidate in my life. Always considered it a waste of money. But this guy, he's changing the conversation, so win or lose I think it's worth keeping him afloat through the campaign.

He is an anti 2nd amendment and climate change radical. There are many videotapes of him spouting off about it. There are also pro vaccine/mandate interviews from the past!! A leopard doesn’t change it spots. He supports the Democratic platform, so it’s a no go.
That is NOT TRUE, he answered questions about the 2nd amendment

Just because someone disagrees with you, they're a bot?
Actually, I love discussing facts but when people post things that are not only not true, but lies, I comment to warn others.
Thanks for keeping my motives in check.

Yes, if anything 2020 has taught me, I couldn't care less about the "R" next to someone's name let alone the "D". Parties don't mean sh*t anymore.

Abortion is the issue that they have used for decades to divide the working class.
Trump was certainly not pro war

She hasn't been jabbed but she got a light case of COVID, which was close to nothing. None of my current doctors have been jabbed. That's one reason I chose them. I'm concerned about the food. They're putting it into livestock and veggies. I hope organic food is okay. And watch out what the vets give your pets. Some pet jabs have the poison in them and you have to verify the ingredients with your vet.
Yes!!
I think you're absolutely right. I remember well the Bernie comment "my average donation is $27". That resonated with us plebes. It isn't clear to me whether RFK believes he can win a candidacy or just wants to force the eventual establishment candidates to have conversations about topics they would prefer to avoid. Is he merely sheepdogging, a la Bernie: "diverting the enthusiasm of activists early on, and when the sheepdog inevitably folds in the late spring or early summer, before November's election, there's no time left to win ballot access for alternative parties or candidates"? I'm not gonna donate until RFK articulates his plan, as a Dem, to win the candidacy. It is literally impossible without destruction of the DNC. So if he is serious, he must eventually run as an independent, which guarantees him nothing in the two-party election system. Does he just want to travel and do interviews on alt media for a year? That's okay. But just be honest about it.
The Presidency of the United States affects the entire world. Can Canadians support the RFK jr campaign? I ask because Mr. Trudeau is paranoid about American housewives supporting the convoy, hopefully my American brothers and sisters are not so paranoid.

Hah! By the time of the convoy, I had retired and was indeed a housewife again. And contributed both in $$$ and in my interest (glued to my screen for weeks)
On behalf of the world I say thank you for contributing to the movement, we are winning.
Thanks--not entirely altruistic, however--have daughter and her family in Ont. (no vax)
It’s a shame that RFK Jr cancelled on Moms For Liberty. He had an audience of open-minded medical freedom mamas eager to hear what he had to say... Now we all wonder if he caved to pressure so quickly. Did he buy the narrative that moms who opposed school mandates for EUA jabs are... fascists?
