@metal-brain saidRFK, Jr. is whining about changes in the primary process which have been in the works for several years, specifically the replacing of New Hampshire and Iowa as the first contests with South Carolina. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rfk-jr-famous-line-democrats-party-run-future/story?id=103198983
Very mature. Don't make it personal.

He knew these changes were likely to take place when he entered the race; it is disingenuous to now accuse the DNC of "rigging" the contest when they are only doing what everyone knew they were going to do including him.
Personally, I think the changes are a bad idea but RFK, Jr. knows that he can't beat Biden and is just looking for a way out - he got his five months of appearances on right wing media.

We've talked about these changes before on this Forum.
@no1marauder saidI read the link and it says nothing about that.

"Among Kennedy's top complaints with the party's nomination process are changes to the primary calendar, which could see classic early-voting states such as Iowa and New Hampshire striped of their convention delegates if they are out of compliance with the national party's election calendar, which is slated to have South Carolina vote first. "
"DNC members have brushed off Kennedy's criticisms of their nominating process. Maria Cardona, a member representing Washington, D.C., called his recent public statements "absolutely ridiculously insane" and a "desperation attempt" to stay relevant on the campaign trail.
Cardona also questioned why the candidate was only now speaking up about the DNC's decision-making process, which has been ongoing well over the past year through open meetings.
"This has been a long process, where we have had massive public meetings. Where were they? Where was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? Did he come to any of those meetings? Did they chime in as to how they wanted to see this process run? Do they have ideas? The first time I've seen them," she said."

A year ago is not a long time. You are being ridiculous.
The change obviously benefits Biden to have it switched to SC.
@metal-brain saidIt's well before RFK, Jr. declared his candidacy, isn't it?

Of course, it probably benefits Biden but he's crushing RFK, Jr. in New Hampshire anyway. The latest poll from CNN/U New Hampshire has Biden leading RFK, Jr. 78% to 9% with Williamson getting 6% among likely Democratic primary voters in the State. https://scholars.unh.edu/survey_center_polls/763/
@no1marauder saidNobody said it was being done only to beat Kennedy in the primary. It helps him beat anyone running against him and you just admitted that. And how do you know the CIA was not aware he was planning to run long before he announced it?

CIA director apologises for improper conduct of agency staff
One senator calls on John Brennan to resign in wake of scandal
The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, issued an extraordinary apology to leaders of the US Senate intelligence committee on Thursday, conceding that the agency employees spied on committee staff and reversing months of furious and public denials.

The CIA lied and denied it for months, then admitted it.
Democrats are undercutting democracy in the DNC, but they ignore it and falsely claim Trump is undercutting democracy while defending Ray Epps telling people to storm the CB.

Strangely, democrats want prison for anybody who entered the CB, even if the Capitol Police let them in with a warm welcome. But not the guy that told them to storm the Capitol Building.
