In a recent turn of events, the groupthink media has been attempting to discredit former President Donald Trump's potential presidential bid while simultaneously discussing alternative Democratic candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an author of 10 books and assistant district attorney, is known for his political ideology which many find commendable. Some believe that if they had no choice but to replace the current president with another Democrat, Kennedy would be their top pick.
"I've always admired what Bobby stands for," said Jane Thompson*, a registered independent voter from Florida*. "He speaks truthfully about issues he believes in and doesn't waver just because it might not be popular."
While some may see this as an opportunity for Democrats to unite behind one candidate should Joe Biden choose not run again or face challenges within his own party during primaries, others warn that pushing too hard against formidable contenders could backfire.
"If the Democrats use dirty tricks to force someone like Bobby out of the race before it even starts," warned Michael Johnson*, a political analyst based in Washington D.C.*, "there's a better-than-decent chance he would run as an independent or on a third-party ticket."
The consequence? Siphoning enough votes away from the official Democratic nominee during general elections—a scenario reminiscent of Ralph Nader’s role in Al Gore’s narrow loss in 2000—to tilt electoral results toward either Trump himself or another Republican contender yet unknown.
As tensions continue rising between both parties fighting tooth-and-nail towards upcoming election cycles—including midterms—only time will tell whether these attempts at discrediting opponents will succeed; however one thing remains clear: every vote counts when determining who holds our nation's highest office come Election Day.
