    Full Title:
    RFK Jr. campaign official attended Jan. 6 ‘Stop the Steal’ rally and wanted ‘favorite President’ Trump to run for third term
    A New York-based campaign official for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who raised the possibility that voting for the independent presidential candidate would help Donald Trump defeat President Joe Biden previously promoted false claims that the 2020 election was rigged and attended “Stop the Steal” rallies after the election, including the rally on January 6, 2021, in Washington, DC, that preceded the deadly riot at the US Capitol.
    Rita Palma, who has identified herself as the Kennedy campaign’s state director in New York, also repeatedly called Trump her “favorite president,” according to tweets along with comments she posted on the conservative social media site Parler that have since been made private.
    In February 2021, Palma tweeted her support for Trump as a presidential candidate in 2024 and even asked whether he could run for a third term in 2028 – which is not constitutionally allowed as a president can serve only two full terms.

    Clearly, RFK Jr.'s campaign is being bankrolled, and in come cases blatantly directed, by Pro-Trump forces.
    It is all part of the strategy to try to siphon off votes from Biden in swing states.
    At least this Rita Palma person is being upfront about the obvious intents of the Kennedy candidacy.

    Nuts attract other nuts. Why do you think Trump is surrounded by morons?

    Everyone that is paying attention knows that Republicans are funding RFK to pull votes from Biden.

    The larger RFK donor is a major trump donor
    He is surrounded by trump supporters
    He is only running in a handful of states, mostly swing states that can do maximum damage for trump

    It’s almost like the republicans can only win through exploiting every trick in the book. It’s sad that our antiquated electoral systems allow such hackery

    the part in bold I'm just leave hanging out there. I do have a question; as a loyal Democrat voter, were you able to type that with a straight face?

    I am far from “a loyal Democrat” seeing that I advocate heavily for ending gerrymandering and FPTP voting which would destroy both parties.

    That said, Republicans are much more blatant in their tactics than Democrats are. We see this in the level of gerrymandering, tactics used in Florida and here with spoiler candidates funded by the right to pull votes from the left.

    But as always, you will ignore those inconvenient facts.

    And that doesn’t even consider the structural advantages that Republicans already enjoy.

    Why do Republicans have to resort to such measures if they have a viable platform supported by the people of this nation?

    You offered nothing but lip service, not any kind of explanation.

    Totally obvious...
    Trump supporting dark money (even more than there already is) is going to continue to pour into his campaign.

    And now they’re also trying to block Biden from getting on the ballot in a couple of states.

    Its like everyone forgets that Trump was a die-hard democrat for his whole life prior to running for POTUS, same as RFK. I guess anyone that doesnt toe the Dem Party line no matter how far away it shifts from liberalism doesnt get to stay a 'democrat'...

    Yeah because the false electors and 1/6 insurrectionists were all in good faith.

    It works both ways...
    For example:
    anyone that doesnt toe the MAGA (Worship Trump) GOP Party line no matter how far away it shifts from true conservatism doesnt get to stay a 'republican".

    What do you think conservatism means?

    For example, liberalism USED TO BE: free speech, free market, individual rights, government power limited by a universal code of laws... but today progressives identifying as 'liberal' want to ban or penalize anything offensive as 'hate speech', promote economic collectivism ('socialism') and cultural collectivism (unlimited -or limits without definition- democracy) and complain about the constitution every time it prevents them from using the power of govt to force other people to cooperate with their policies.

    How do you see conservatism as having changed?
