This election cycle, I firmly believe the Kennedy/Shanahan ticket best fits this description.

By Dylan Allman
To begin, the sheer fact that they made a point to run independent from the party system—that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan are not beholden to political parties—is fantastic and about as disruptive as you can get.
George Washington, our first and only independent president, was absolutely correct in his warning about the dangers of political parties during his farewell speech:
“Parties are likely…to become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the People and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterward the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
This remains as true today as it ever has.
In a system where decisions are almost exclusively influenced by special interests and party agendas at the expense of the very people they are supposed to represent, electing the first truly non-partisan independent president is a giant leap in the right direction.
If you are looking for a genuinely “anti-establishment” ticket, they must be independent from the party system that has failed us all since its inception.
Kennedy has a deep family history steeped in conspiracy, tragedy, and relentless idealism. He has spent his entire career litigating against almost every major federal agency—the CDC, NIH, EPA, FDA, USDA, DOT, and so on. If anyone knows how to effectively take on the intelligence agencies, the corrupt merger of state and corporate power, expose the establishment, and drain the swamp, it’s him.
With a legacy defined by the fight for justice and a personal history deeply intertwined with the dark machinations of these agencies, RFK Jr. possesses a unique blend of courage, knowledge, and conviction that is not present in his competition. He’s not intimidated by these agencies. He knows who the individuals are that are causing the problems. He understands the perverse incentives better than anyone.
Contrast this with someone like Trump, who campaigned in 2016 on “draining the swamp,” but instead appointed a pharmaceutical lobbyist and CEO to run the Health and Human Services Department, a Verizon lobbyist to run the Federal Communications Commission, a former Goldman Sachs CIO to run the Treasury Department, an oil CEO to run the Interior Department, a coal lobbyist to run the Environmental Protection Agency, and so on.
Trump has chosen JD Vance, a man deeply tied to the establishment and the military-industrial complex—effectively a salute to the CIA—as his running mate. Now, Trump is deliberating between Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, and Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, as his next Treasury Secretary, should he win the election. In other words, more swamp creatures.
There are words, and then there are actions…and when it comes to Trump, they simply don’t match. Trump isn’t a disruptor; he’s a tool of the very system he and his supporters claim to resist—a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
On the other side of the coin, Kamala Harris and the Democrats don’t even attempt the anti-establishment rhetoric and simply cave to their every whim out in the open, showing time and time again, just like Trump and the Republicans, their willingness to prioritize political gain and corporate interests over genuine justice and reform.
The Kennedy campaign has the best-stated positions on all of what I think are the most important issues today, such as:
– Medical/Bodily Autonomy
– Bitcoin/Crypto/Financial Sovereignty
– Reducing Debt/Spending/Money Creation
– Backing the Dollar/Reeling in the FED
– Reducing Power of/Abolishing Intelligence Agencies
– Pardon List
– Ending The Forever Wars
– Free Market Energy
– Anti-Lockdown
– COVID Accountability
– Government Transparency/Honesty
– Gun Rights
– Privacy
– Addressing Chronic Disease
– Technology/AI
– School Choice
– Regulatory Capture
– The Border
– Election Integrity
– Free Speech/Censorship
– Vaccines
He has a deep understanding and detailed plans to address everything on this list; it’s not just all talk. This, coupled with the humility to admit when he’s wrong and change accordingly, the intellectual honesty to be skeptical when it matters most, and the integrity to do what is right even in the face of extreme opposition and a stark refusal to be controlled by the powers that be, is what leads me to choose him over the rest.
Once again, contrast this with someone like Trump or Kamala. Both are entrenched in the same corrupt system, both are beholden to the same special interests, and both perpetuate the same policies that consistently harm ordinary Americans while pretending the opposite. Neither have a true deep knowledge of these issues like Kennedy, neither have detailed plans to address these issues like Kennedy, and neither actually plan to do anything other than talk a big game while keeping to the same status quo that has shoehorned us into the position we are in today.
RFK Jr. is the only candidate without a hard record of contradictions, hypocrisies, and failures—actions that have repeatedly harmed the very communities they claim to represent.
I think the addition of Nicole Shanahan to the ticket was also a great move. In this new digital age we find ourselves in, technology, especially artificial intelligence, is arguably the most important topic at hand, will certainly be a driving force this decade, and will unquestionably change all of our lives substantially.
A ticket with a young, successful, smart technologist who actually knows what she is talking about is a no-brainer. We need AI experts who know how to drive AI in the direction of good, and Nicole Shanahan promises to take us there. Incompetent, or worse, malevolent politicians and their cronies will drive us all to destruction, and I don’t trust the competition to be just that.
Kennedy and Shanahan also have a clear plan to heal the nasty divide that plagues America. This polarization is no accident; it’s a deliberate strategy by the uniparty—the entrenched political establishment that thrives on division. By keeping the populace at each other’s throats, the uniparty ensures that people remain distracted, using one side’s hatred for the other to generate support and loyalty.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the status quo persists regardless of the side in power: the establishment continues its bidding, enriching corporate donors, perpetuating endless wars, and ignoring the real issues that impact everyday Americans.
Neither Trump nor Kamala have a plan to address this because they are two of the many architects of it.
Kennedy has expressed commitment to exposing the deep-seated corruption and manipulation that fuels this division. By shedding light on how the uniparty exploits societal fractures for political gain, he aims to dismantle this machinery of division.
Instead of continuing to push Americans to be distracted by manufactured outrage and partisan battles, the Kennedy/Shanahan ticket has pledged to focus on the issues that genuinely affect people’s lives.
Healing the divide requires genuine efforts to understand and bridge the gap between differing perspectives, something the Republicans and Democrats are staunchly against.
Kennedy and Shanahan believe, as do I, that by fostering open communication and empathy, Americans can find common ground and work together towards shared goals. By ensuring that all voices are heard and that the truth is accessible, they aim to empower citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed and free decisions—to lift the veil, see past the uniparty’s manipulation, and address our issues head on.
Now, all of this being said, does it even matter if they have no chance to win? Maybe not. But I do think they have a chance. In fact, I think RFK Jr. is in a better place to win now than any Independent candidate in the past 100 years and is up against two of the most unpopular candidates in history. Funny enough, he is even significantly better on many issues that Kamala and Trump’s voter base actually care about. Once this becomes clear to them, I don’t think it is crazy to believe many of them will jump ship. We are already seeing this happen.
That, coupled with over 50% of the country now identifying as Independent, we are likely to see swaths of voters who otherwise wouldn’t have voted coming out of the woodwork to support this ticket. I am one of them.
Kennedy/Shanahan is polling surprisingly well and is on track to easily get on the ballot in all 50 states. They can win, and they will win with enough support.
This election cycle, I firmly believe the Kennedy/Shanahan ticket best fits this description.
