In George Washington’s farewell address, America’s first and only independent president warned that the rise of political parties would eventually “subvert the power of the people.” Today’s rigged ballot access laws prove the enduring truth of Washington’s words.

All these trolls have convinced me you're a bigger threat to them than the Bad Orange Man. That's what I'm looking for. Very interesting about how the "two party" (really: The Donor Uniparty) system keeps itself enthroned and in place.
Your quote from paragraph 18 of Washington’s Farewell Address is a duplicitous attempt to try and bootstrap it into support for “democracy”. It is wrong and taken entirely out of context.
In paragraph 16 of that Address, Washington makes the comment that “the Constitution . . . is sacredly obligatory upon all.” The word democracy or any variation of it does not exist anywhere in our U.S. Constitution. The word that does appear is “Republic” in Article IV, Section 4.
According to Madison, the Father of the Constitution, our Constitutional form of government was to be “strictly Republican” and that “no other form would be reconcilable with the genius of the people of America; [and] with the fundamental principles of the Revolution;” Madison, The Federalist Papers, Letter 39, ¶2.
Madison warned that democracies have “ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property.” Madison, The Federalist Papers, Ltr. 10, ¶13. Democracy is a system, he warned, that has “ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention” which is a situation we clearly find ourselves in today. Id.
The great deception of democracy is that it is sold as the “voice of the people”, when, in reality, it is authoritarianism. With democracy, one can never be sure if the vote tallies are true and accurate. With democracy, one gives consent to a tyrannical “majority” even when it means losing everything. With democracy, power consolidates at the top and becomes authoritarian since authority always emanates from the top down.
Republics, on the other hand, emanate from the bottom up. This system is how the people stay in power. Governments are established by the people and only given powers that Madison explained are “few and defined” beyond which they cannot extend its jurisdiction. Madison, The Federalist Papers, Ltr. 45, ¶9.
In our Republic, this structure meant that the states controlled the federal government NOT the political parties. In our Republic, the state legislatures are supposed to appoint senators and presidential electors. They are not to be elected by a 51% democratic majority because under that system, the senators and the president become beholden to the political parties and NOT the states.
You obviously do not understand these facts because of your comment that “In a democracy, the people are supposed to decide who gets into office, not state officials and party operatives who look for ways to prevent popular candidates from getting on the ballot.” This is the exact opposite of the way our sacred Constitutional Republic is supposed to work.
I am acting to get you on the ballot in Texas, Mr. Kennedy, but you need to take the moral stand on the Israeli Genocide of Palestinians before you will get my vote.
I had to remove your bumper-stickers from the cars in October.
Israel/Palestine is not our fight. We have so many problems in the US that Bobby addresses in very experienced, common sense ways. Let's keep our focus here, please.
I agree that it's our fight because the US pays for much of those bombs. I wish - especially because he has been vocal in support of Israel - that Kennedy would do more to condemn the bombing of Gaza, while also being clear that the hostages must come home and Hamas' massacre was horrible (Even if not everything blamed on Hamas was what they did, it was still horrible).
And it's important to keep perspective that the IDF were not given orders to respond for many hours. So many things don't add up, and precious human life on Both "sides" has perished because of that.
Still, at this time in the human race, I still support Kennedy. A "choice" between the psychopathic globalists intent on injecting all of us and destroying farms, etc , you know ... and someone who seems different than that based on some of what he says, but also praised himself for Op Warp Speed, who is not a defender of liberty (not based on what the corrupt MSM says, but he's not ... https://theconsciousresistance.com/trump-is-not-a-defender-of-liberty/ )
I think Kennedy needs a miraculous level of support to overcome the obstacles in his way. And I still support him.
it's a wholesale slaughter/genocide. Even without the bombs, denying people food, water and medicine while they are can't even leave the territory is genocide in and of itself
Religious wars been around since before Caine an Abel ! They are at your front door you just don’t want to open it. It is all mankind’s war! Just as it is in every small country! It’s always about the money trail where does that lead you to? The gas station? The grocery store? The coffee shop? Or just driving to work on the express to no man’s land?
Or maybe just a walk in the neighborhood?
Or school or malls or into a bank. War is everywhere! Has always been . Where does it go or end? It all comes down to each of us. It’s all our responsibility in life to get along with neighbors beginning in your home too . Just because there’s not a big tank pointing at your house doesn’t mean it’s not there.
To erase one war an walk away doesn’t mean it’s not at the next place. It’s always where you donot expect unless we all help one another. The children of the 60’s tried to bring peace till they grew up to follow the fathers foot steps an became thier fathers.
Following the money trail did they resolve world peace? It’s upto us all now you think you can figure this out? Your still contributing to the mess that’s made us where we are now!
What will you do to solve the issues at hand in your back yard an your neighbors?
Don’t fool yourself, as they’re (the Globalist and Biden) have constructed a solid Juggernaut for war as for the Globalist just another day at the office filling out fresh aquastion sheets and filling their fat accounts with fresh vats of blood upon which to continue to oil their war machines. Still if we hold together we are the ones that are called upon when the barbarians approach the gate. I have no doubt that we will hold... Maybe. If we do it was because we turned the tide of fear and doubt. Stay strong.
Promoting the destruction of Israel bc they oppose terrorism is not moral. The Jewish people no more control the Israeli govt than we do ours. Hamas has a blind hatred for anything Jewish and wants to destroy them and their country. They frankly don't treat the Palestinians any better. Wake up John, you're in bad company.
why do you think he would do that when he has been praising Israel and has been silent on Gaza and the genocide that is taking place? Forever wars that the US helps fund are ok for Israel, not OK for the Ukraine. that doesn't add up
It is up to Mr. Kennedy to change his stance, but I will not vote for anybody who supports genocide. (I suspect he made a peace long ago with the people who were instrumental in getting his father and uncle killed. He must know. He is intelligent and well-informed.)
I don't "support Hamas", which has long been a cat's paw of MI-6, the CIA, and Israeli revisionist-Zionists, through the Muslim Brotherhood and Qatari financial intermediaries.
I support the rightful and lawful aspiration of the Palestinian people to return, as is their right, to their ancestral lands, after being driven out by genocide.
Bobby, I want to support you, I really do. But, as I've written elsewhere, your silence on Israel / Gaza is deafening. As President, you won't have that option. I want to know what and how you think about the situation. There's not a "right" answer I'm looking for, I'm looking for thoughtful leadership. That's what I felt from you over the summer, but now I feel you are avoiding based on polls and advisors and all sorts of things that I thought you were past. Please speak up.
If I can help with ballot access/gathering signatures, let me know. I am in Kentucky but willing to drive to another state if that's where you need me.
And (whoever holds the puppet strings of) Biden & Co insists they must win, because "Democracy is at stake." If the DNC-chosen candidates don't "win", we risk "loosing our democracy". Meanwhile, they are literally destroying democracy every chance they get. I'll be helping with signatures in NY for sure!
Have you ever wondered where did you come from ? With all the self infused world Info out ,many still are just as your reading so confused , maybe one should just sit back watch the sky’s an water an just see what your meaning in life’s about?
Is it really about you? Or life worth paying attention to for tomorrow? And for others?
Online signatures, voting machines, mail in ballots, drop boxes, no picture ID, no deadlines, no thank you.
It's all part of the DNC Fraud Machine.
The Zio-Nazis Soros and Zuckerberg finance the operations.

Global context update: "Trust The Death Star" https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/trust-the-death-star
This is a thousand year religious war that affects the world! We are all one of the same ! An we all need to support each from attacks!
Why is it that I have to care one way or the other about Ukraine, Russia, Gaza or Israel?
How many Americans even knew about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict?
Heartless? Maybe? American voter? Yep!
if genocide doesn't bother you, then you don't have to care
It’s WAR PEOPLE DIE
it's a wholesale slaughter/genocide. Even without the bombs, denying people food, water and medicine while they are can't even leave the territory is genocide in and of itself
Siobhan, so, assuming you think I should care, why should you care that I don't care?
Does Egypt care, or the Saudis?
So, since I think the US needs to stop sticking its nose into other folks' business and take better care of things at home, you agree with me, right.
the US is funding Israel to the tune of billions for decades--your tax payer money. wake up
We are not choosing to fund them. Our ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED GOVT IS.

What will you do to solve the issues at hand in your back yard an your neighbors?
Are you helping others or just yourself ?
Don’t fool yourself, as they’re (the Globalist and Biden) have constructed a solid Juggernaut for war as for the Globalist just another day at the office filling out fresh aquastion sheets and filling their fat accounts with fresh vats of blood upon which to continue to oil their war machines.

There is a false-dichotomy inherent in "choosing a side" in a conflict where genocidal hate has taken control. The genocidal hate is "the enemy".
Seek peace and justice, and stop slaughter, which invests today in tomorrow's genocidal hate.
why do you think he would do that when he has been praising Israel and has been silent on Gaza and the genocide that is taking place? Forever wars that the US helps fund are ok for Israel, not OK for the Ukraine. that doesn't add up
It is up to Mr. Kennedy to change his stance, but I will not vote for anybody who supports genocide. (I suspect he made a peace long ago with the people who were instrumental in getting his father and uncle killed. He must know. He is intelligent and well-informed.)
Then why do you support Hamas?
I don't "support Hamas", which has long been a cat's paw of MI-6, the CIA, and Israeli revisionist-Zionists, through the Muslim Brotherhood and Qatari financial intermediaries.
I support the rightful and lawful aspiration of the Palestinian people to return, as is their right, to their ancestral lands, after being driven out by genocide.
i won't vote for anyone who supports genocide either.
Who are you gna vote for? If you can vote .
I'm speaking of American elections.
Hasn't he already stated he stands with Israel ?
Yes. Wrong stance, isn't it?
I'm not part of the operation.
I don't pick genocide or slaughter.
Not genecideITS WAR
I have a serious issue with RFK Jr's unequivocal support of the Zio-Nazi Apartheid State of Israel.
Dear Mr Kennedy,
I just finished listening to your interview on Dave Smith's Part Of The Problem for the 3rd time.
I was considering voting for you before I knew what a dishonest propagandist you are.
I will do everything I can to recommend not voting to anyone who supports your candidacy.
You are bought.
I hope the ICJ genocide you support haunts you with every breath you take.
Enjoy your life,
Kurl
Israel was attacked by Hamas terrorists. What questions might there be? На Израиль напали террористы ХАМАС. Какие тут могут возникнуть вопросы?
Every single illegitimate vote violates the constitutional rights of citizens by effectively canceling a legitimate vote.
Good luck

Hasn't he stated that he stands with Israel?
yes he has said he stands with israel and he believes that what they are doing is right.
Why not ?
and he has been hiding while genocide is taking place
This is why you should have run in the libertarian party instead.
But some people like the hard way where they're vulnerable to being blocked out. 😂
If I can help with ballot access/gathering signatures, let me know. I am in Kentucky but willing to drive to another state if that's where you need me.
Yup, the game is rigged.
Have you seen this Documentary?
