I am not into "both sides" BS. I will watch CNN if there is a natural disaster since they can't inject their opinions into that news, at least not yet.

I prefer getting excited by Rock and Roll, not their rating grabbing/$$$ agenda. CNN's Licht is a moron for making these choices.

Other than the vaccine idiocy (which is not, contrary to popular belief, confined to the right side of the political spectrum), his politics are left-of-center.

The problem, of course, is that his vaccine idiocy is the center of his universe, which negates anything positive he's done and disqualifies him from serious consideration for, well, anything.

spasmodic dysphonia, -- also called laryngeal dystonia. It involves in voluntary muscle contractions, which distort te voice. And it is true that shallow people will judge him on that. While I fully, 100% support President Biden, I am troubled by the foolish things I read about Kennedy on the internet. Some are from ignorance, some are just not true, and none are necessary. We will nominate President Biden to run in the general election, after he wins literally every primary contest -- without him having to make any appearances or his campaign having to spend an extra penny. However, we will need that 20% who currently support RGL Jr to win next November.

Vicki Kennedy, Ted Kennedy' widow. They are ambassadors or the special envoy to Northern Ireland.and they can not endorse without violating the Hatch Act.

Both ran Ted Kennedy's last campaign in Massachusetts. The ones I listed are, I think the most prominent. It may be that several others will jointly endorse Biden.

Here, I would suspect that a way around it is if any of the three were asked about RFK jr. Without endorsing Biden, they could respond in whatever negative way they were comfortable with doing.
