RFK Jr. can't win. But he and Cornel West could put Trump back in the White House.

This is what the DSA has been trying to do and succeeding in for 30 years with candidates like AOC
Succeeding? They’ve elected a tiny handful of candidates over the last thirty years so now that’s success? Lol, sounds like something a right wing Democrat would say, because that’s a very convenient result for the party itself. You’re either blindly loyal to this party or you must think we’re stupid.
Almost all of which were elected in the past decade, that's rather quick for a political change as large as that. And more are being elected every year.
The DSA literally helped Bernie almost win the presidential primary, that wouldn't of even come close to happening if the average Democrat was some right wing anti-socialist hawk.
They propped up a Zionist who is now campaigning for Genocide Joe
When the military is deployed to crush protestors and trans people have their existence banned by Trump I'll know who to thank.
Kinda weird yall insist on calling him Genocide Joe.
I don't care what nonsense falls out of his demented mouth as long as he is sending bombs to an ongoing genocide
Do you really and honestly believe that Joe Biden Is so evil that he's been sitting there relishing in the deaths of civilians for months?
And you do realize that sending weapons is not the sole discretion of the president? About 75% if congress keeps voting to send those weapons.
I could care less what he feels as he snuffs out the lives of children in Gaza.
Yes, it's absolutely in his discretion, and the lies his State Department are telling to continue doing so are outrageous and absurd.
Wait-5-moths-before-calling-a-genocide-a-genocide AOC?
What do you think that purity testing gets you?
Everyone has purity tests, everyone has red lines. None are more reasonable than genocide.
She said it was a humanitarian catastrophe from day one of the invasion and called for an immediate ceasefire soon after. Just because she didn't use the exact word you want, a hugely legally binding and implicating one too mind you, you're willing to write her off?
You do realize that if that is your standard then literally no member of congress or in the executive is good enough for you, right?
Not to mention that it'd be hugely irresponsible for any government official to make a comment like that before the ICC ruling is actually finished.
You think it's irresponsible to call this a genocide before the ICC comes to a verdict in 20 years?
