    The problem is, running out of conspiracies. Everything is coming out as true...

    His stance on our healthcare system is far more than just "single payer".

    He supports drugs from other countries, caps on life-saving drugs, negotiates drug prices for Medicare.

    However, he does have a rather socialist view when it comes to healthcare which does bother me.

    It's so complicated, I am not sure we will ever have a solution for our healthcare.

    Yes, I like his stance on the covid vaccines.

    When push came to shove, Joe Biden relinquished power for the best of the country. He gave up his shot at another four years.

    Conversely, Donald Trump attempted to overturn an election he lost and sicced his supporters on Congress and his VP. The contrast could not be greater. Joe Biden is a man who puts American first. Donald Trump is an old senile man who puts his narcissism first. Hat's off to you, Joe!

    It's just people pointing out the hypocrisy of it all. Don't say "democracy is on the ballot" and then give a middle finger to democracy.

    Okay, so you don't like any of his policies on which he agrees with at least some Democrats, but you want an anti-vaccine guy. And you want to know why the Democratic Party isn't eager to support the anti-vaccine guy?

    Just complete nonsense. The Democratic Party hasn't even named a nominee officially. He doesn't have to be withdrawn from a ballot.

    lol wow, I just listed a good chuck of his healthcare policies that I like.

    My goodness, did you not even read it?

    There is no such thing as the perfect candidate. Trump is far from it but I'll take him over Biden or Harris.

    Honestly, it might have been hard for me RFK vs Trump.

    End of the day I think Trump is going to spend too much and try tariffs on China again which I just don't get... I don't see what impact it did last time.

    Which of those policies that you support are opposed by Harris? The only one I could find is the anti-vaccine nonsense.

    BTW, feel free to vote for RFK now. Why do you need a Democratic Party endorsement to do it? Weren't you claiming fairly recently not to be a Trump supporter?

    I’m just struggling to see how this is a blow to democracy? You know beyond any doubt you were voting for Trump against Biden. You now get a choice to vote between Trump and likely Harris.

    At the expense of repetition,NOBODY CHALLENGED BIDEN in primaries. He is allowed to change his mind about running. Heck, you people have been screaming for him to change his mind.

    It just sounds to me that this argument is just a made up beef.

    That’s pretty bad. It’s really been a misfit circus for dems since the Biden-Trump debate.

    I honestly don’t understand why the Republicans want to send Trump back to the White House. Basically everybody who worked for him under the previous administration said he was incompetent and didn’t read anything. His obsession with autocrats and denial of the election results are also beyond scary.

    I don’t like Harris either but at least she’s highly educated, a moderate and not a polarizing figure. I would hate to see the chaos and division of four more years of Trump.

    Plenty of lefties telling us all how he wouldnt step down too. I think the truth is, most of us saw him fighting to the end.

    Lets be honest, he was forced out, likely to money being pulled.
