Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticizes the Democratic Party’s shift towards corporate interests and elitism.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivers a stark assessment of the Democratic Party’s transformation, explaining his decision to leave the party and support Donald Trump for President of the United States.
In his analysis, he traces a dramatic shift from a party that once championed peace, constitutional rights, and working-class interests to one that now embraces war, surveillance, and censorship and aligns with powerful corporate interests, including Wall Street, Big Pharma, and major tech companies.
“The Democratic Party that I grew up with was the party of peace. It was the party of constitutional rights, including free speech. It was the party of women’s rights and women’s sports… the Democratic party today is the party of war. It is the party of surveillance, of censorship.”
The core of Kennedy’s message centers on what he sees as a complete inversion of traditional party values, with former Republican war hawks and surveillance state architects now finding a welcoming home in the Democratic Party.
This realignment has effectively transformed the Democratic Party into what RFK Jr. describes as the party of the wealthy elite, with 70% of the nation’s wealth now controlled by Democrats compared to 30% by Republicans.
