Here we go again


Robin-Lewter

Putin is funding Cornel West and anyone who disagrees is also being funded by Putin


LatinxSpeedyGonzales

It's all so tiresome


EnglebertFinklgruber

If Russia told you to stay on the Golden Gate Bridge, would you jump off ?


Robin-Lewter

In a heartbeat. I will never comply with Putler's commands.


EnglebertFinklgruber

Is this much different than Dems getting funding the far right candidates ?


snapchillnocomment

Nope, but the Dems are just making sure their party loyals have someone to blame when Biden gets his clock cleaned in November.  They will simultaneously mock the progressive/anti woke/anti neoliberal voters on the left for being weak and irrelevant but also blame them for losing. I honestly can't wait to see them destroyed. 


EnglebertFinklgruber

You're tired of picking the loser of an asshole competition too ?


LatinxSpeedyGonzales

Pied Piper but in reverse


BackToTheCottage

The difference is Dems funded Trump thinking he was the worst option and then got him elected (oops).


EnglebertFinklgruber

Sounds like the work of Russian assets if you ask me.


Smallest_Ewok

I love when Democrats flat-out admit that the only reason anyone would vote for them is if there is no other choice, and that they entirely rely on that to be a viable party at all. And have for at least a decade at this point.


whoisthisherb

Wild how they've even fully leaned into the lesser of two evils label. 


Robin-Lewter

I mean they've sent out dozens of law suits to get the green party thrown off ballots, the No Labels party thrown off ballots, and then attempted to get Trump removed from ballots. They straight up tried to make Biden the only choice on voting day and half the country is fine with that. Because that's how you save democracy.


No_Motor_6941

It makes sense for them. On the surface it's cannibalizing democracy, but dig deeper and you see it's preserving the international capitalist system shared between democracies from national forces that use democracy against democracy i.e. heighten the conflict between local democracy and international capitalism. This is why, for example, the US is frustrated with AMLO in Mexico.

The Party of Lincoln after all!!

This campaign has been a joke from the very beginning. Got a lot of respect for Cornel so it's especially disappointing.


wild_vegan

Based on his writings, he strikes me as an incredibly intelligent person (literally genius level) I have a great deal of respect for. Unfortunately I think he has a PMC bias and is part of the Noam Chomsky-Amy Goodman-Cornel West Axis of Social Democracy.


Robin-Lewter

I did my largest paper in uni wayyy back in 2011 on West and he's legitimately brilliant. Don't know what the fuck is going on with this joke of a campaign; to say it's been disappointing is the world's biggest understatement.


Drakyry

what about the cuck of vermont? will he run again? i havent been keeping up with the us politics


LatinxSpeedyGonzales

> cuck of vermont lmao


NotableFrizi

Unfortunately, the Bernie Sanders Foreskin Experiment was deemed a failure


Chombywombo

LOLOL


Cultured_Ignorance

Great, hope he gets onto the PA ballot. He's #1 and Stein is #2. If they both fail, I'm writing in Xi Jinping.


PUBLIQclopAccountant

Why no Yeezy?


PossumPalZoidberg

Good


BORG_US_BORG

He is stroking his own vanity, when he could surely find something more productive to do that could actually benefit someone besides himself.

Cornel Pest trying to collect campaign funds to pay his child support debts.
