Kennedy fired back in a social media posting hours after the Democratic president and his Republican predecessor in the White House agreed to face off in showdowns in June and early September.
A debate proposal from Biden that triggered the cascade of developments on Wednesday morning stated that "the debates should be one-on-one, allowing voters to compare the only two candidates with any statistical chance of prevailing in the Electoral College."

"These are the two most unpopular candidates in living memory. By excluding me from the stage, Presidents Biden and Trump seek to avoid discussion of their eight years of mutual failure including deficits, wars, lockdowns, chronic disease, and inflation," claimed Kennedy, the longtime environmental activist and high-profile vaccine skeptic, who is the scion of the nation's most storied political dynasty.
And he emphasized that "keeping viable candidates off the debate stage undermines democracy. Forty-three percent of Americans identify as independents. If Americans are ever going to escape the hammerlock of the two-party system, now is the time to do it."

Plenty of pundits and pollsters are making the case that Kennedy also could pose a similar problem for Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. And as Kennedy has increased his appearances on conservative media the past couple of months, the former president and his campaign have increasingly characterized Kennedy, whose populism on some issues seems similar to Trump's, as a far-left politician.
At a campaign event in New York City two weeks ago, Kennedy disputed the repeated claims that he's a spoiler.
And he once again argued that he, rather than Biden, is the only candidate who can defeat Trump in November - and showcased a new internal poll conducted by his campaign to make his point - as he announced an unusual "no-spoiler pledge."

Both men who will forever be the face of covid and lockdowns are your perceived choice. Eff off!!
And before another person says Kennedy is bought. You need to do some research. He will be the only candidate running who has taken all these traitors to court and won! Over and over again.
And he has stated he knows his life will be on the line. I wouldn't trust him if he said otherwise. But if you want to fight for America and what it once stood for and the pedos in charge. Some blood is going to be spilled. Pretty sure the founding fathers stated that.
People finally have a chance to vote outside the two party system for a credible candidate. But they are already making excuses of why they won't or can't. It's pretty damn sick and makes me think the propaganda brain washing has worked unimaginably well.

Does not matter which 'side' you vote for; you are voting for the benefit of Israel.
America, there is no easy way out of this...
There is nothing I dread so much as the division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our constitution.

So do we give up now or just hope the leaders get tactically nuked?
There is no easy way out of this. Your own Thomas Jefferson warned your nation about times like this when he wrote that "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Don't feel like you are alone in this. Canadians are being forced to make the same choices because Zion runs this place too.
