I agree RFK is not an option. He appears to have morals and integrity. Non starter for a Dem nominee

He is a conspiracy theorist. And you are a propaganda spewing liar. No incumbent president has participated in a primary debate since Ford. Democrats want to keep it that way.Neither Trump nor Obama participated in primary debates during reelection bids. abcnews.go.com By Brittany Shepherd June 2, 2023, 7:57 AM 0:35 Biden falls at US Air Force Academy graduation ceremony The president, who delivered the commencement address and proceeded to shake hands with graduates, fell near the podi... President Joe Biden has successfully fended off calls from his opponents for him to participate in primary debates, a move that would be unprecedented in recent memory. Democrats have so far opted to tune out the primary challenges levied against him, with the Democratic National Committee throwing its support behind Biden. And while some in the party have criticized the organization and Biden as "un-democratic" for presuming he’s the de facto nominee, there’s precedent in sitting it out: No incumbent president has participated in a primary debate since the first modern debate was held in 1948, even when presented with high-profile primary challengers. As former President Donald Trump sought re-election in 2020, the Republican National Committee didn’t hold primary debates, nor did former President Barack Obama during his second bid. The same pattern can be traced as far back as Gerald Ford. And Democrats today show no signs of changing course. Biden’s candidacy is being challenged by two Democrats, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson, who have remained critical of the DNC’s expected decision to unite behind the incumbent president. Kennedy, Jr. has called the lack of debates "unfortunate."
