Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday that he sees President Joe Biden as more of a threat to democracy than presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.​
In an interview on CNN, Kennedy argued that Biden "has used the federal agencies to censor political speech," appearing to refer to a case before the Supreme Court that could affect the level of contact between government officials and social media companies regarding content removal.​
Last month, a majority of Supreme Court justices appeared to be wary of arguments that the Biden administration was unlawfully telling social media platforms to take down problematic conduct.​
“I can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history, the first president in history, that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech ... to censor his opponent,” Kennedy said.

On that, I can agree.

“Biden has done something that no other president in history has done, which is to order media — particularly social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google — to censor his political opponents,” the 70-year-old told “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday.​

LOL. Is there any evidence that Joe Biden has personally ordered private citizens (social media owners) to remove or censor content?
I didn't know the president of USA has the ability to make orders of private citizens.

The opinion of a candidate whose stock-in-trade is wild conspiracy theories is obviously shaped by his disordered beliefs.

His many, many surviving siblings have all warned America against voting for their clearly disturbed brother.

Like many other cultists, RFK, Jr. does not understand the times we live in. While another similarly disordered candidate tries to shape this as a witch hunt against him, both he and RFK, Jr. forget that social media is endangered by hackers from foreign nations using all the tools of their trade to manipulate and corrupt the news. They can alter videos and photos, replace vocals with completely different statements while altering the speaker's lips.

One recent example is a photo of DJT surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic black people. It was later learned that the enthusiastic black people in the photo had been lifted from a civil rights rally several years earlier and used as a backdrop for Trump.

Most of these hackers come from nations run by totalitarian dictators who are favored by DJT (not sure if they are favored by RFK or not.)

The situation becomes a lot muddier when you realize that one candidate, DJT, makes posts that are always crude and hate-filled, sometimes threatening against innocent people, or sick enough to put him on an FBI watch list (President Biden hogtied to the back of a pickup truck? Really?)

DJT complains that Biden is suppressing democracy, when DJT could campaign all he wanted on social media if he cleaned up his language, ditched the threats, and stopped promoting violence against his 'enemies.' He won't, which is why the NY courts instituted a gag order.

I wonder if Truth Social, the stock that fell 18% today, welcomes the obviously much more civil and intelligent discourse of non-Trump supporters.

Huh
Absolutely not - I don't believe the Democratic Party is concerned in any way shape or form about Democracy to any extent more than a propaganda line - while they seem to be actively denying the freedom of speech of their political opponents - spending millions of dollar to dig up dirt and censoring social media.

It's called the stock market - it is always going up and down.
And in other news...the sun rose early this morning and was expected to set sometime later today. And now sport...
Yup - that's a good description of Biden's habits - it's the same all the time. No one is surprised he promised the most transparent presidency and then hides from hard questions.

A clear example would be.......oh..... this one.

If it was between Biden and Kennedy - yes

If it was between Biden and a bag of hammers - the hammers would get my vote.

RFK Jr can make all the arguments he wants. He'd just be wrong. His understanding of history is apparently as robust as his understanding of vaccines.

More recently, the Vindman brothers were reassigned after one of them testified to Congress about Trump under subpoena. Trump claimed to have had him fired.

Not really taking the guy who thinks Covid targets certain races and mass shootings are linked to prescription drugs as a good judge of facts.

No better - no worse than the guy who said masking prevented the spread of the disease and once you were vaccinated then you could not catch it.

I still support the bag of hammers.

Personally I do not see those statements being on par with one another. I think all the candidates are poor choices and feel annoyed I am forced to pick the least worst instead of one I can actually support.

He also wouldn't be a good president, what if there is a pandemic under his watch? He would be even worse than D Trump. He certainly wouldn't want a vaccine developed. He wouldn't want USA to purchase any vaccines and offer them to the public. You guys would have had over 3 million dead under his watch.

Remember accusation is from a guy who thinks vaccines cause autism. It's not about reality for him.

To be fair, Trump did vigorously push for vaccines to be developed. He bungled the pandemic response, but he did act to immunize people after that.
