Kennedy must've changed his mind. Four of his siblings are upset he is running apparently. They recently published a joint statement denouncing it. Why don't they denounce the lack of a sane #votingSystem across the country (if we remember #USA citizens call 'Preferential voting' #RankChoiceVoting)

We didn't read much about this but apparently DNC will not do debates as they normally do, and that was part of his reasoning to go independent.

Most #Australians remember the frenzied cacophony of #legacyMedia hacks that emerged from the election of Ricky Muir.

So-called "progressive" outlets lampooned our democratic process that ensured votes for #minorParties were never wasted (unlike in the #USA). A process that enabled people like the once-relevant #NickXenophon to get elected.

They #engineeredConsent to change our #votingSystem, at every opportunity demonising the workingClass senator.

Maybe if he called himself 'Richard'???
