If I get into a discussion with a lefty about election fraud, they usually send and article or list of Republicans busted for election fraud. To which I respond "OK, then support election integrity measures so Republicans can't cheat anymore." To which they typically respond by either sending me a meme of a guy in a tinfoil hat or a blowup of my own profile pic. This is a common tactic of theirs that I have not yet figured out what they think it accomplishes. Do they think I'm going to be insulted by my own picture which I proudly put where everyone can see it?
Just a thought here. I was thinking about RFKJr and his run. Most Republicans know there is rampant fraud, but getting the Dems to buy in is not likely when things are breaking in their favor. RFKJR now has a platform to speak some truth that Dems are starting to hear from one of their own. Many have been sitting on the sidelines without a party. They may be willing to entertain the whole election fraud issue if they are directly affected.
RFKJR in a short amount of time, despite the lack of msm coverage, has been climbing in popularity among more moderate Dems that have been shut out - they can't stomach the woke radicals that have hijacked their party, nor can they bring themselves to vote Republican. All this time they have not understood that their votes have been stolen. If enough of them vote for RFKJR in primaries and see with their own eyes the fraud, they may change their tune. It will be much harder for Dems to cheat when their real voter base on the sidelines actually turns out.
With super delegates on the Dem side, it is going to be almost impossible for RFKJr to pull off the nomination. But enough Dem voters could just be pissed off enough to start taking us seriously and ask questions.
The problem with Bernie was that nobody really took him seriously - except his supporters who were not taken seriously either. In the end he caved and bought some homes. RFKJr is a different matter all together. RFKJr's track record tells me that he is not someone that can be bought off. In addition, he is serious about this. I really believe he first went into this with the idea that as a candidate he could get some truth out there that normally would have been heavily censored. But, as his campaign is actually picking up steam and support by moderate Dems, I think that he thinks he may actually make a run out of it. Kennedy is a much stronger candidate than Bernie could ever hope to be in his dreams. Bernie didn't scare the Dem establishment - Bobby does. We shall see.
While I have no love for any of the Kennedys (except JFK Jr.), my concern is that if RFK Jr. "catches on" with the Dems, that can actually hurt Trump in the general election. Dems who "might have " crossed over to vote for Trump will vote for Kennedy instead. JMO.
The chances of RFKJr winning the nomination are slim to none. The establishment Dems will not allow it. The Dem super delegates are an enormous advantage they have that RFKJr will not overcome - unless they own him. If he does manage to gain a huge following during the primaries it will make the cheat they have to pull off even greater. If the Dems see and experience a large cheat like this they may finally realize that our election system is bogus and that we Trump supporters are not full of crap when we call election fraud. So, the chances of this hurting Trump are pretty low as well. Besides, these Dems I am talking about will not vote for Trump - no way, no how - they will stay at home before voting for him. Up till now they have not realized that their votes are being stolen and the problems with the super delegates which rigs the nomination to whoever the establishment choses. Most Dem voters are not even aware of this.
Ask yourself this... if there was a Dem candidate you really liked, would you cross party lines to vote for them? I think the answer for most of us would be hell no. Even if we could stomach the candidate, we realize that it is a package deal - you vote for the one and get the rest of the party. This is what will stop solid Dems from voting for Trump. They just don't want Republicans in the White House.

Again, just a thought. Nothing is as it appears.
Valid theory, but isn't this essentially what happened with Bernie? He was quite popular with them. He got screwed.

Appreciate your input on my question. What you say makes sense.
