In the feast of the American election, we often see two major parties battling, but today I'm going to talk about how an independent candidate, Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. – Kennedy Jr. – stood out in this fierce competition.
First, let's take a brief look at the U.S. election. Once every four years, voters across the country gather to vote for their ideal president. But there's no denying that over the past few decades, Democrats and Republicans have been the protagonists of this game. This year, however, things have changed dramatically.
The rise of Kennedy Jr. was remarkable. As a descendant of a political family, he has a deep political background. But unlike his family tradition, he chose an independent path. The young and charismatic candidate demonstrated his dissatisfaction with the existing political system and his ambition to reform American politics.
So what exactly made Kennedy Jr. move from Democrat to independence? The answer is not complicated: He saw growing public frustration with both major parties and decided to offer a new alternative. He appeared in front of the public with a fresh and refined image that faced problems head-on, and won more and more people's hearts.
But in front of the two heavyweight opponents, Trump and Biden, Kennedy Jr. encountered a block. Both Republicans and Democrats are aware of the threat posed by this "dark horse" and are trying to weaken his growing influence through the United Front. On the debate stage, we can see the intense and wonderful interaction between the three parties.
Still, I have to say: Kennedy Jr. gave hope to Americans. When countless people were disappointed with current President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, Kennedy Jr. stepped up and promised to lead the change. He is unabashedly critical of the current system and proposes his own unique and practical solutions.
Admittedly, it is an obvious fact that as an independent candidate, he is at a disadvantage in terms of resource allocation, media attention, and public perception. By contrast, the two major political parties are as impregnable as skyscrapers towering into the sky in the heart of a city, and Kennedy Jr. is more like a tower of hope shining in the rising sun in the suburbs — elegant and remarkable but slightly lonely.
Remember, however, that there will always be epochal turning points in history: when a single voice can evoke a deep desire for change in the hearts of the masses, even the strongest and tallest buildings can collapse with a bang.
So I want to say this: The American people need the courage to make a choice — one that might rewrite the course of history and redefine "possibility." Whatever the outcome, as the 2024 U.S. election kicks off, remember the name — Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. — a fresh light that could lead us to a brighter future.
