Kennedy 2024! (blue states only)

Growing up in Massachusetts, all you would hear were the older people talk about how great the Kennedys are. Rose did this, Jackie is so beautiful, John Jr. did that. It got annoying. I said I would never vote for a Kennedy for dog catcher, yet here I am.

I have only spoken to one of them in my life. I was working at Nestle’s in Arkansas, programming a machine to spit a blob of cheese into a Stouffer's Five Cheese Lasagna. Surprisingly my machine was the only automation they had other than the conveyor belt. They had a line of cafeteria ladies with smocks and hair nets weighing and dishing out pasta and sauce. Also, I have to say it was immaculately clean — everything gets sterilized between shifts.

The Kennedy guy was a process engineer. He reluctantly never said his last name and I picked up on it. Later he said it was because I had a wicked bad accent, but I don’t think I do. “So, you’re a Kennedy from Massachusetts. One of those Kennedys?” He said yes, but don’t judge me based on my family. I didn’t think such a person existed. Then again, he pre-judged me too.

You wouldn’t think so, but Democrats are not even close to the majority voters of in Massachusetts.

4.9M total registered voters

1.3M Democrats

0.4M Republicans

3.1M Unenrolled

0.1M Weirdos

For as long as I have been voting, the liberals have gloated about taking Republican ballots in the primaries and spoiling elections. You can do that in MA. This is a significant problem, especially in my district. We have had a Republican representative for many years now and we just switched our state senate seat from Democratic to Republican, too. This is despite the election interference.

Recently I have begun to ask myself, is it really interference? The system has been rigged that way for that specific reason and it’s a legal way to vote. Dem-da-rules. I have been tempted to take the other ballot and muck things up, but I have always just done the right thing. Maybe the right thing is to spoil Biden’s electoral count. Given the huge unenrolled majority in this state, we would never vote for Trump, EVER! But…I would love to give RFK our 11 Electoral College votes.

A couple deep-blue states voting for Kennedy, Trump wins.

While looking up numbers, I came upon this Politico story. Follow the money if you want to know what people are thinking. It says a lot. First, he is a Democrat no matter what anyone says. But he has more large Republican donors than Democratic. Second, the large donors without a history outnumber both Democratic and Republican large donors combined. But the small-dollar donations indicate very strong independent support.

I have always told people every vote matters. It matters if you vote for your guy. It matters if you vote for the other guy. It matters if you cross party lines. And it especially matters if you ride this one out. They are all legitimate votes, and you have to pick one. You can’t not vote if you’re registered.

By the way, if you’re not in a deep blue state please don’t vote for Kennedy, it wasn’t meant for everybody. (Edit: I added blue states only, I was being sarcastic.)
