The stance puts Kennedy — who’s mounting long shot bid to unseat President Joe Biden as the Democratic standard bearer in 2024 — out of step with most of his party.

      Yes. People didnt vote for Biden in 2020, they voted against Trump. If the matchup in 2024 is the same, the outcome will be similar.

        Man is this electoral system a disaster. “Voting against ___” is just “literally anyone else, as long as they’re not that awful”.

        Imagine if we could just vote on bills.

        Yeah we’re in a crisis. We need an actual leader though. We can’t just stick to yet another geriatric old man, Biden might win again but he’ll be breaking the promise of only going for 4 years and will be going against 70% of the parties wishes for him to not run again.
