At the beginning of his address to the nation on August 23, 2024, Robert Kennedy Jr. reflected on how he loved to be part of the Democrats back in the 1960s. He sums up their ideals before moving to the present day Democratic Party which would have hardly anything left of those ideals. Let’s listen Kennedy explain it himself (1,2)

“I attended my first democratic convention at the age of six in 1960, and back then the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution of civil rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship against colonialism, imperialism and unjust Wars. We were the party of Labor, of the working class.

The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and corporate power, true to its name it was the party of democracy.

As you know I left that party in October because it had departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with. It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption, big Pharma, big Tech and big Money. When it abandoned democracy by cancelling the primary to conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting president I left the party to run as an independent.“
