news Update - Dennis Kucinich leaves RFK Jr's campaign after pro-Israeli violence tweet

[Communion]

The mods can merge with the 2024 US Presidential Election thread if deemed necessary if it gets too messy like the other threads, but the focus here is not the details of the actual conflict as the other threads, but more-so RFK Jr. staking his candidacy on explictly being against "the deep state" and MIC yet has (seemingly again) called for unilateral, unconditional military support for Israel. 

 

(Even the flop Libertarian Party finding a way to use this to dunk on him )

RFK Jr. Is functionally no different than Biden on most issues. He only branches off when it comes to vaccinations and Ukraine.

Kennedys more like Trump. Just without the theatrics 😂

whatever our differing personal opinions may be, let's all acknowledge together how bizzare and inconsistent it is to be anti-Ukraine but mindlessly pro-Israel 

But you can't expect sense from a science denier

RFK Jr is a clown. The fact he ran in the Dem primary in the first place and now has ''suddenly'' seen the light in DNC corruption just shows how short sighted he is.

 

No comment on Cornell West. Quite a lot of Palestinian academics I follow criticized his statement so I don't know.

they're completely different conflicts so it's not bizarre to have different views of different conflicts

Oh you're a conservative conservative... which really just makes things make a lot more sense

Isn't Kucinich one of the more progressive politicians, at least when compared to the rest of the 2008 Democratic candidates? In what way is he aligned with RFK Jr in terms of their worldview such that Kucinich would be so happy to join this longshot campaign in the first place?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: supports antisemitic claim that COVID was "engineered" to spare Ashkenazi Jews.
Also Robert F. Kennedy Jr: supports providing Israel with whatever it needs.
