@MediaActivist This time around, I actually DID vote for #KamalaHarris, and even donated hundreds of dollars to her campaign, in a last-ditch attempt to stop #SprayTanHitler, #CommanderVance, and #FelonMuskrat. Nevertheless, I recognize the truth of what you say — that past uncritical support for #neoliberal careerist #JackassParty candidates like her has paved the way for fascism. And in the past, under other, less exigent circumstances, I've repeatedly voted for (and contributed to) #BernieSanders in the primaries, and multiple #GreenParty candidates in the general elections.

The #JackassParty has KILLED HOPE by refusing to halt the bloodsucking of the economy by the billionaire class and by corporations — even in Obama's first term, when they had a filibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate. If fascism is to be stopped, economic radicalism is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Asked by Sen #BernieSanders if he agrees w/ #Trump’s remarks calling #ClimateChange a “hoax,” #RFKJr said he & Trump agreed to disagree on the issue. “I believe climate change is existential. My job is to make Americans healthy again,” RFKJr said.

The exchanged prompted a rebuke from Advancing American Freedom, the org founded by fmr VP #MikePence, who opposes Kennedy over his past support of #abortion rights. “What other issues do radical RFK Jr. & President Trump disagree on?” the org posted.

A WaPo investigation found that the *nonprofit* #RFKJr founded that Sen #BernieSanders mentioned was one of 4 that rose to prominence during the #COVID #pandemic by capitalizing on the spread of #medical #misinformation. Children’s Health Defense received $23.5M in contributions, grants & other revenue in 2022, enabling it to pay Kennedy >$510k in 2022, double his 2019 salary, tax records show.

The Washington Post · Tax records reveal the lucrative world of covid misinformationBy Lauren Weber

Sen. #BernieSanders pressed #RFKJr on whether he stands by paraphernalia sold by his foundation, such as an outfit for babies sold by Children’s Health Defense Fund — which Kennedy founded — & is emblazoned with the message “Unvaxxed Unafraid.”
“Are you supportive of these onesies?” Sanders thundered.

Kennedy claimed he wasn’t affiliated with the group, Sanders pointed out Kennedy only resigned after #Trump picked him.
