Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr's running mate in his independent presidential bid, discussed how the Democratic Party shut them out of the primary process during an interview on the "Impact Theory" podcast.
"I did not put in tens of millions of dollars to be a spoiler candidate, I put in tens of millions of dollars to win and do the right things," she said. "ClearChoice, this DNC-aligned PAC that was created specifically to take us out, has spent millions of dollars to take us out. They have turned us into a spoiler. We didn't want to be a spoiler, we wanted to win. We wanted a fair shot. The DNC made that impossible for us. They have banned us, shadowbanned us, kept us off stages, manipulated polls, used lawfare against us, sued us in every possible state, they've even planted insders into our campaign to disrupt it and create actual legal issues for us. The extent of the sabotage they've unleashed on us is mind-blowing, we're still learning new ways they have sabotaged us. I really wanted a fair shot at this election, and I believed in the American that I pledged allegiance to as a little girl. And that is not where we are today, and it is not because of the Republican Party taking us out, it is the Democratic Party taking us out. And I am so disappointed I ever helped them, I am so disappointed I helped Chuck Schumer in that Georgia runoff, to secure the [Senate] majority. It is probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life."

What? People didn't like the idea of "voting for joy"? Assholes!
So RFK and the Libertarian candidate take more votes away from Trump than Harris ?
Polls are a combination of numerology comms and propaganda. I would imagine that 90 percent of them are fabricated from whole cloth.
it took some obvious shenanigans for Biden to win
Alas, clear-thinking citizens know these question-and-answer sessions will be nothing but political theater.
That is, no real debate will happen and, indeed, the format will be rigged to prevent real, substantive critiques.
For example, we know from a few House hearings on Covid response (and Censorship) that speakers will probably be allowed only three minutes to respond to Senators’ questions, which usually aren’t “questions” but five-minute speeches/attacks intended to denigrate the person invited to speak at said hearing.
A few members will ask important questions, but many of the issues are so complex, there’s no way even RFK, Jr. could make his most salient points in a 3 to 5-minute response, even if he’s not constantly interrupted.
Also, invariably, the most important questions - broaching the taboo or potentially thermo-nuclear issues - won’t even be asked.
The above points illustrate the warped state of American “democracy” in 2020-2025.
In a real democracy, the public is supposed to hear all sides of important issues in “public debates” and then make their own conclusions as to which side makes the most compelling or persuasive points. ...
That is, (hypothetically) nothing is stopping President Trump or RFK, Jr. (if he’s confirmed) from creating and publicizing a series of real debates on Covid topics.
If censored experts don’t have enough time to make their best points in Congressional Hearings - or don’t get asked the most-important questions - these speakers could develop these arguments more fully in real debates held at forums across the nation over a period of several months or weeks.
These would be authentic debates as “experts” who hold opposite views would be invited to participate and would be allowed equal time to make their own points.
The public could then decide who made the most impressive arguments and reach conclusions on which speakers “won” the debate.
“Democracy” in its purest sense could perform its magic.
Thanks to a number of sharp dissident observers, we learn that the new Trump administration seems to rebrand the MAHA movement as a “healthy food, anti-toxins movement” and tries to distract from or even ditch anything to do with vaccines in general, and mRNA vaccines in particular. ...
In my view, the very core of the Medical Freedom Movement (MFM) worldwide and in the USA centres around and was born because of the unprecedented events that happened during the so-called Covid Pandemic:
1. Dropping all established and written pandemic response plans in lockstep worldwide and replacing them with scientifically unfounded and unproven responses, like unreliable and manipulated PCR-tests, masks, social distancing of 1.5 m, lockdowns and banning successful repurposed drugs - pretty much the opposite of what the pandemic response plans recommended.
2. Dropping almost all decade-old safety testing and rushing through one product only: the novel and unknown mRNA vaccine, which actually wasn’t a traditional vaccine at all, because it didn’t stop transmission, the whole purpose of vaccines.
3. Therefore, the WHO quickly changed the old definition of vaccines and herd immunity to fit reality to the new product, not the other way around
4. But the biggest trigger for the MFM was the coercion and mandating of these dangerous untested substances to millions of people, breaking 75-year old international medical laws (Nuremberg Code) and long-established conducts of informed consent and many human rights. And much more, of course. ...
The obvious facts were, that Trump wasn’t secretly against the mRNA vaccines at all. He boasted and lied endlessly about how “his” Operation Warp Speed saved hundreds of millions of lives and openly declared on Rogan, that “big pharma are his friends.” ...
The final verdict is still pending (see Sasha’s article on that), but an increasing number of MFM observers anxiously notice that there is an awful lot of talk about eating healthy and toxin free and no talk about pausing, let alone banning, the dangerous mRNA vaccines.
So it is fair to ask, will Bobby betray us next, or is he deliberately holding back on the vaccine topic for strategical political reasons.
To be fair, he has a major challenge at hand to be approved by the Senate and he can’t do nothing if he is not nominated. Time will tell but I don’t have high hopes that anything meaningful will happen. ...
To stop this terrible abuse of medical freedom and human rights, the MFM formed and elected Kennedy through Trump.
They are not overly worried about processed food and toxins because they have some control over it. But they are very worried about forced and coerced vaccinations schedules for themselves and their children. That’s the only reason why they voted for Kennedy. ...
For all these reasons, many will feel that the ongoing mRNA disaster can’t be ignored and pushed aside any longer and their hope rested on Trump/Kennedy.
Time will tell but I am not optimistic.
Even the best case scenario looks dire.
The best case scenario is that Kennedy gets nominated as HHS secretary and actively tries to get the mRNA vaccines paused or banned. ...
What matters: Is he is allowed to stop them. And I don’t think his boss will allow it. I am not aware of any anti-vaccine statement by Trump whatsoever. Hence the shift to food and toxins which Trump might sanction.
And if Kennedy goes against the vaccines anyway, we all know how that will end: “You’re fired.”
So Kennedy has two choices.
He can either go along with the boss and the pro-medical and pro-pharma vibe of the majority of the Trump admin and betray and lose most of his base voters, or he stays true to his conviction and pre-election talks and uses his short tenure as HHS secretary (before he gets fired) to raise awareness about the harms of mRNA and other vaccines on another level and goes down with his integrity and reputation intact and positions himself stronger for 2028.
Anything else, like jumping on the food and toxin bandwagon and ignoring the vaccines will be seen as betrayal by the MFM.
