Great idea. It's painfully obvious to anyone with an open, critical-thinking mind, that the current parties, the current system, etc. are so corrupted, so compromised, so controlled by larger forces, that they're all beyond repair. IOW, they're FUBAR. Besides, orgs like the DNC are private organizations that can do whatever the hell they want. Something better and more effective should be created.
I'm inspired and invigorated by Bobby Kennedy's decision to run and love the direction you're suggesting here...especially moving from the debased state of current political debate toward "a deep dialogue on the state of our country and the world."
Your post reminds me of the last political campaign I was actively involved with: the 1980 presidential campaign of Citizens Party candidate and pioneering environmentalist Barry Commoner. I got involved in the local campaign efforts in Ann Arbor Michigan after spending 5 years living a fairly cloistered life focused on meditation and service, with virtually no exposure to mass media or politics. During the campaign the local Ann Arbor team organized a debate between Barry and the Libertarian Party candidate, which I still consider one of the most honest and thought-provoking debates I've ever witnessed. In retrospect, I wish we'd recorded it so it could be posted today on YouTube.
IMO, a large percentage of people of virtually any political persuasion will respond positively to Bobby's message if they get to hear it directly from him.
The good news is that, in spite of all the censorship today, there are many more channels available for political communication than there were in 1980, when Commoner got virtually no media coverage, except for one or two local radio interviews.
The challenge and opportunity will be to find ways to use these channels effectively to communicate RFK Jr.'s (and Marriane's) message. As I said earlier today in a comment on the Kennedy24 website offering to volunteer, I'd like to do what I can to help the campaign do that.
I remember reading, liking and commenting on one or your earlier substack posts about Ivermectin, and am glad to see you applying your wisdom, insight and integrity to the issues you address in this post. If you have time and interest, I'd love to discuss these issues with you further, including how we can join with others to help realize the vision you lay out in this post and the vision Bobby Kennedy lays out for the country and the world.

Yes!! Please ask Marianne Williamson to be up for this. As of now comments are allowed on her Substack. https://mariannewilliamson.substack.com/
Sounds like it's time for women to take the lead and embrace the new energies. Start up the League of Women Voters debates again.
Great ideas, Diane! I’d like to RFK Jr debate Trump : )
