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

[UsualName]

Is this his first time doing this?

Looks like the "Rent is Too God Damned High" guy.

Not a scam...just the result of him running..... a bunch of money flushed down the toilet...

Exactly. He won't win, and the money could be better spent elsewhere to prevent a Republican from winning.

eh....at this point, correcting democrats' behavior by threatening their seats is helping prevent Republicans from winning.

Playing chicken with votes typically doesn't end well.

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.

oh boy....a more nuanced take:

Bidens corporate media and minions are in full attack mode but it wont save him,he is just to bad imo.

it's a good watch regardless of the conspiracies (I'm not paid by Biden's team for instance).

It was awful and ridiculous imo.

I wonder if the moderate/corporate dems see West as a bigger threat than RFK because he is respected in the black community and take crucial black votes from Biden,and do so in the general election not the primary.
