RFK Jr. Responds to DNC’s Plans to Skip Primary Debates: ‘The System Is Indeed Rigged’

Are American elections rigged? Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. thinks so. He believes that the DNC’s decision to forgo primary debates would only confirm this suspicion to American voters. “Debates and town halls are part of the democratic process,” Kennedy told The Epoch Times. “We’re living in a time when there’s a lot of Americans who believe our democracy is broken. And I think both political parties have to bend over backwards to start restoring faith in democracy and electional integrity.”

It’s not just Kennedy who’s concerned. Other Democrats, including Marianne Williamson and Nina Turner, have also criticized the DNC’s decision as “undemocratic” and “robbing voters of choice.” Even with multiple candidates vying for the party’s nomination, the Democratic Party has “no plans to sponsor primary debates,” according to a Washington Post report.

For Kennedy, this move defies democracy itself. “You need to let the public decide who they want for leadership, rather than party commissars like they did in the Soviet Union or in China,” he asserted.

As rumors swirl that Biden may formally announce his 2024 presidential campaign this week, questions about debates have begun to crop up as well. But with the DNC’s decision, it seems that the American public may not have the opportunity to hear from all the candidates. Will this only serve to confirm suspicions that American elections are rigged? Only time will tell.
