Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2024. A prominent environmental activist, author, and anti-vax advocate, Kennedy has been a vocal critic of the political establishment and corporate influence on democracy.

Kennedy’s campaign promises to “end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power” that he believes has plagued US politics. He advocates for campaign finance reform, stricter regulations on corporations, and increased funding for public education and healthcare. Kennedy plans to tackle income inequality by increasing taxes on the wealthy and implementing a living wage for all workers. He also aims to establish a sustainable energy infrastructure, reducing the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and creating new jobs in clean energy.

Kennedy’s campaign also emphasizes the need for racial justice and police reform. As conservatives, we believe in the value of law and order, but we must acknowledge that there are significant issues with the justice system that need to be addressed. However, we must also ensure that these reforms do not compromise public safety or undermine the rule of law.

One aspect of Kennedy’s campaign that may appeal to conservative voters is his opposition to crony capitalism and corporate influence in politics. It is crucial to have a fair and transparent democracy, and Kennedy’s promises to reduce corruption in government and hold corporations accountable for their actions align with conservative values.

I think that we should carefully examine his positions and evaluate them based on their merits, rather than dismissing them outright. As Kennedy’s campaign moves forward, it will be interesting to see how he addresses these concerns and whether he can appeal to a broad base of voters. Personally, he’s no Donald Trump and if it’s a choice between Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr., I’m going to take Trump any day of the week. A Republican is always better than a Democrat.
