Yeah. I know. But I feel like you're from a different Left than what is front and center these days.

When I first signed up for this site, although I would never have called myself a Democrat, I was Left-of-Center as far as the mid-2000s went. Every other post I made was bashing GWB and the Republicans in power.

The Democrat Party is not at all what it used to be 20 years ago. They resemble the GWB Administration and have become the pro-war party and the pro-censorship party. They're not anti-establishment anymore. They ARE the Establishment. They own 90% of the media.

That's true about family and behind closed doors. I heard about his riff with his family over Covid.

But with a number of diseases that were thought or were eradicated because of vaccines, I keep hoping for common sense.

Right now measles is making its way across the US and Canada because of low vaccine rates in other countries. Measles is nothing to play with.

I hated the way the questions were worded. Many had some kind of contradiction built in.

I understand. But just remember that there is common sense middleground.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer, although I've been labeled here as one.

I was adamantly against an untested Covid mandated vaccine.

But if we start getting things like Measles and Polio again when those are two things that haven't even been around in my lifetime, that's going to be pretty damn foolish.

I've got my shots though, which were actual vaccines instead of whatever they shot us up with Covid, so I'm not worried. I'm not going to get Measles or Polio.

Our world governments did everyone a great disservice with Covid. Trust in our medical institutions is now at an all time low and isn't likely to be restored until an entire generation or two dies off after what they did.

Well... Now it's official. I think RFK is working for Trump. I don't buy the "money" excuse for RFK picking her. He doesn't need the money since he knows deep down he's not a viable candidate in the first place.

With an ultra-progressive pick like Shanahan as his running mate, they're likely to siphon off a lot of voters from the Biden* campaign, including but not limited to the Anti-Israel crowd and college age voters.

If you don't hear her speaking much than I'm wrong about that. But if all of the sudden Shanahan becomes a household name in the next couple of months after an official announcement that she's RFK's pick, this is exactly what's happening.

Democrats are stepping up their criticism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after he announced his pick of Nicole Shanahan for vice president Tuesday, arguing the duo will benefit former President Trump.

Kennedy’s allies say the selection of Shanahan, a philanthropist and patent attorney, will generate buzz for the campaign heading into the general election, while also allowing him to check a necessary box in several states that require an Independent to have a running mate to qualify for their ballots.

But many pro-President Biden figures in the party are criticizing Kennedy as a “spoiler” propelled by GOP funds and conspiracy theories, slamming his presidential campaign shortly after he unveiled his running mate in Oakland, Calif.

“I am personally offended and just disgusted by his campaign,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said during a call hosted by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). “He should be ashamed of himself. He should stop running for president.”

“He’s a spoiler,” Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Austin Davis said on the call. “He was drafted into this race by Donald Trump’s top supporters.”

“He has no realistic path to victory in Pennsylvania,” he added.

Some people, a little slow on the uptake perhaps, persist in the fantasy that Kennedy, as a vaccine critic and conspiracy promoter, would draw from Trump. In his choice of running mates, RFK Jr. has ended that debate.

Not very much is known about Shanahan, the woman Kennedy wants one heartbeat away from the presidency. She is a 38-year-old attorney and entrepreneur who grew up poor, raised by an immigrant single mom in California. She was formerly married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin and has used her wealth for a variety of philanthropic and political causes.

In the political world, she has, according to The New York Times, described herself as a “progressive through and through,” and has donated to Democrats like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and California Rep. Ro Khanna. And Biden. So, yeah, I think we can conclude she has been on Team D.

A candidate born with perhaps the most famous name in Democratic history has chosen a running mate with a gold-plated Democratic donor history. Amazingly, according to the Times, as recently as one month ago, Kennedy had only spoken to Shanahan once. Perhaps that’s all the vetting Kennedy needed to choose someone to help him siphon off Democratic votes.

Common sense tells you RFK Jr. is likely to draw more votes from Biden than Trump. The name alone is a giveaway. Kennedy’s name couldn’t be more blue if it were Democrat McDonkeyface.

Some folks complain about 3rd party candidates, but there is at least one very good reason for them being involved.

Biden* and Trump are kinda old guys. Either might drop dead any day. If Biden does, nobody will know about it until the CGI and AI Chat Bot glitch up more than they have been lately.

If neither candidate gets 270 Votes in The Electoral College, POTUS is elected by The House of Representatives. The House has 50 votes, in delegations of 1 per state. about 20 states have delegations which are majority Libtard. More than 25 states have delegations which have majority Republican.
However, IIRC, they are restricted to voting only for persons who accrued at least one Electoral Vote. A recent election had Evan Mullins with about 4 EV. Tulsi Gabbard has garnered an EV at least once. Bernie Sanders has too.
So, if RFK Jr gets an EV, then a House choice between Trump, Biden, and RFK could leave RFK as the next POTUS.
The Senate elects the Veep, so the Veep might be Shanihan if Trump doesn't pick a decent VP.
