Cornel West: Running for President, Ending Ukraine War & Taking on “Corporate Duopoly” of Dems & GOP

[@champaigne16]

This will be a change from the Democrats and Republicans. Give us another alternative. I will definitely vote for him.

He is on the oversight board of directors for Ron DeSantis' Classical Learning Test--you know, what's replacing all that CRT and gay curriculum nonsense DeSantis has so heroically saved the children of Florida from learning about. He even wrote a column praising it in the WSJ in June, I believe. Poles are shifting. Brace yourself.

west speak of this reparations? where are the reparations for all the victims of the black violent male criminal for the past 100+yrs. mr. west? FBI (2019) 16.410 homicides in the US 9,205 committed by african americans. 11% of the population conducting 60% of the homicides. we lost 2,996 persons on 9/11. the amount of person murder in 2019 by blacks WAS 3 times the number killed on 9/11/ and that statistic in just for 2019. (not 2020+ forward). west does not speak of that. no, left out of the "always" conversation. west is no better than "a" klansman in "reverse". preaching his hatred, discrimination and bigotry of another ethnic and race... and always finding "issues and problems" with our developed nation that he (mr. west) sits in happy, wealthy and fat. money, car, tenured position, ect. oh, how nice. but there is "always" something wrong with our nation. If not, clowns like this do not make their ratings and money. who designed and built the skyscrapers. medical devices, engineering, gone to the moon, advanced medicine and equipment. yes, mr. west it was all sitting on the US shores already built and completed by the indians and slaves... when "the" white guy showed up in like 1745. sure, mr. west. a clown, west is. have him ramble on another TV show of his bigoted, slanted view on a nation that gave him so much opportunity and ability, so he used that to "complain" about it.

And really that's sort of the whole point of voting a third party is to move to democracy along especially if that third party more closely aligns with ones values.

He knows we can't have big sweeping changes in a democracy unless D's hold the House and the Senate (the latter by at least 60 votes) and the Presidency. Even then, he knows not all Democrats agree on everything. Why is this important? Because a POTUS is NOT supposed to be an autocrat dictating law. In a democracy, wait for it, people (Congress and the POTUS) have to actually work with each other and compromise IF they want to enact any new changes via legislation that gets signed into law by the POTUS. Bernie knows that without Biden, all the legislation that has passed wouldnt have passed. Certainly not by him (he's too emotional and has hot temper). Certainly not by Marianne.

What makes Dr. West stand out from the rest of current world leaders is his honesty and morality. He does not succumb to polarized nor biased views, rather, Dr. West provides sound logic and a deep sense of empathy amidst the current geopolitical mess resulted from decades of unadulterated capitalism, unethical empire building, zero-sum take on foreign policy, and absence of humanity for those in power. His perspective is the most fair and unbiased with the goal of reaching our shared humanity across the globe. If Americans continue to be distracted by the failed two-party political system along its fabricated tribalism on non-core issues, things will certainly get worst with human rights violations, poverty, and global conflicts on the horizon. Voting for Dr. West is a matter of survival, failure to do so by the American public will be the end of us all.

He's wrong about Nato. Ukraine never joined Nato, precisely to avoid conflict with Russians, and that was assured to Putin right before the war. But, as we see now, had Ukraine joined Nato before and nothing of this tragedy would be happening. There's a reason why Russia didn't invade Latvia or Estonia and if some ex-soviet countries joined Nato is precisley because of Russian imperialist impulses (not just to controll but basically to owned them). Also, whatever you say about Nato as an instrument of the US, the fact is that its an organization of dozens of countries with different interests (some of them share ties with Russia) where you can only enter via unanimity - see the case of Turkey blocking Sweden. Only thing Putin will get from this war is more Nato.

Putin had the west's ear for years and he exploited it to maneuver Russia into a position where it could directly threaten and destabilize other sovereign nations as dependent satellites. Putin doesn't believe that Ukraine really exists, doesn't want it to exist, and has said so on many occasions. His reasons for justifying the invasion are a hodge podge of random disinformation, knowing full well that most people will tend to swallow their favorite flavor of bullshit. Bullshit about NATO expansion(ism, as if it wasn't directly driven by Russian imperial aggression!), bullshit about genocide, bullshit about "nazis", bullshit about the illegitimacy of Ukraine as a nation state. Its all lies, and a lot of it is projection. Trump was going to be his crowning achievement in peddling bullshit for people to swallow, turning the world's largest economy and military into a lapdog via an oversized narcissistic oompaloompa who wanted to be the messianic president dictator of the chocolate factory. Russia peddles so much cynical bullshit and corruption is so rampant I wouldn't do business with it purely for risk management reasons alone. Which is honestly probably the bigger reason why so many corporations so readily divested after the invasion. Agreements and treaties mean nothing to the Russian state, the same way the US state still ignores and breaks its dozens of tribal treaties. Russia just does it with everyone whenever it thinks it can get away with it.

Howie Hawkins and Jesse Ventura. And to be perfectly honest I find the greens to be less composed then they’re Canadian and European counterparts. The Canadian greens gave clear and firm messaging on Ukraine. That they will not support a war with Russia but they acknowledge Russia was in the wrong despite escalations between the east and the west. The US green parties statement did make it clear that the US cannot go to war with Russia however it made no condemnation of Putin‘s aggression, and no vocalization of support for the peace activists within Russia. At least none that I remember. That is severely problematic for a party that acknowledges the trouble were in but seems to have no plan to win.

[@antmagor]

Given the state of the Green party I doubt that. As I was telling the other person it is fractured. For a third-party candidate to win whatever party they join is going to need a united front so that all of its energy is concentrated, and so that it is able to recruit new people who are otherwise disenchanted. At present the green party doesn’t have a kind of infrastructure.
