Cornel West, Progressive Scholar, Announces Third-Party Bid for President

Bugenhagen said:
Presidential elections and 3rd party candidates are not viable until the system is changed so losing candidates can transfer their votes or a percentage of them if they have passed a bar of a percent or a few to weed out spurious candidate proliferation. You don't want Italy style ballots.

The only other way is to elbow in a third party with real numbers in the houses but during that... Third party as a protest in presidential seems tears in rain to me and probably hurts you.

West is clearly a good man, he is not even a Bernie in ability to inspire enough.

I like him and he can be inspirational. That party is riddled w/sexual assault allegations and is only registered in like 2 states. I agree w/you, a 3rd party has been made unviable by our process.

he doesn't strike me as a grifter type. His non-interventionism is worrisome. Ukrainians don't have the privilege to afford someone other than Biden right now.

I doubt this is a scam.He's 70 years old and has never had the reputation of a scammer as far as I know.

It is.Its the only thing I disagree with him on.Unfortunately all progressive politicians are non-interventionist.

I support arming Ukraine but its not enough to make me vote for a piece of shit like Biden again.Im hoping the war is over by 2025.

He might be blamed for taking black votes from Biden.He still seems sharp mentally.He never backed down from fights with Harvard and Obama supporters for his criticism of Obama so if he is still sharp I doubt hes going to let himself be taking advantage of. I do question why he didn't go The Green Party route.

Not a scam...just the result of him running..... a bunch of money flushed down the toilet to give him a platform for 6 months which he does not need because CNN will have him speak whenever he wants to.
