Please participate in this poll and share it so that it reaches as many as possible. I’m genuinely curious about this.
Robert F Kennedy Jr is a bona fide Democrat primary contender against Biden, and the DNC is ignoring him. Beyond that, his voice, affected by spasmodic dysphonia, is difficult to listen to. Will this negatively impact his campaign? Curious to know your thoughts.

I mentioned in one of our livestreams a few weeks back that I thought RFK Jr’s voice would be a hindrance to him during this campaign. I feel really sorry for him that he suffers from a medical condition which affects his voice, but sympathy aside, it’s also admittedly really difficult to listen to him. And he’s actually the first to admit it.
That said, he is polling well ahead of several GOP primary contenders who will of course be allowed to compete and campaign. The DNC, however, is completely ignoring RFK Jr and Marianne Williamson – as if they simply don’t exist. I think that’s ludicrous.
Some folks say that’s standard practice. When Trump ran for re-election, for example, there were primary contenders early on – Bill Weld and Mark Sanford among them. The RNC voted to give Trump undivided support and as a result many states canceled their primary elections . But those candidates were in the VERY low single digits in polling. Kennedy is not. He is polling at 20% pretty consistently, and that’s not a number that can be easily dismissed. Democrats CLEARLY want an alternative to Biden (and who can blame them?)
Kennedy is best known for his activism against the Covid vaccine and other vaccines. And he’s also been very vocal about how poorly both Trump and Biden handled the pandemic with respect to the lockdowns. BEHOLD:

Anyway, I’m curious to know your thoughts about his candidacy, and his voice in particular. Some folks in our livestream audience thought it was mean of me to even mention it, but it’s not something that can just be ignored. It’s a superficial thing, to be sure, but there are LOT of voters out there who vote based on very superficial factors.
Take the poll, share the poll, and discuss.

If only I was on Twitter instead of coming to the website everyday…
I have been listening to RFK, Jr. for three years through the Children’s Health Defense website. HIs voice has become a non-factor now. I have gotten used to it. I hope people listen to him enough that it happens for everyone. What he has to say about everything Covid needs to be broadcast everywhere.
In a fair competition it would matter but the DNC does not play fair, particularly in it’s primaries. The media will all but ignore him unless he starts making a big enough stink that they are forced to do something at which point they will tear him down like a Republican. Democrats only vote how they are told they just aren’t rational enough to realize they are being told.
