So where my Cornell West peeps at

If we want to push a third party why nobody fucking DOING IT

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Isn't he advocating for black banks and black finance and black business? Sounds more like a lib that wants the oppressed to become the oppressor.

[–] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What. Sorry this sounds so stupid I gotta step back and what a minute

I dunno I'm vaguely remembering that from somewhere, can't really drop much on you about it as I've forgotten the details. I have some others though:

Ronald Reagan was a freedom fighter in terms of supporting our Jewish bros & sis in the Soviet Union & opposing vicious forms of communism.

Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn and civil-rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. were imprisoned for their views.

Here's a link to list of the board members of CLT Tests - Jeremy Tate's company. West is sitting there right alongside R*fo and the president of the Heritage Foundation, among others

Socdems are gonna socdem. The man is not a socialist, he is in fact explicit in one of his books that he is not a "marxist socialist", and that he is using the word socialist differently:

By all means, pick him to spoil the libs if that's your intention. But I don't think that he's actually in it for socialism.

Of course he's a lib. The only thing we get in this political environment is fascist right center right and an occasional gesture towards what people actually want.

So. Fukkin Bernie got Caesar'd, nobody even remembers Dennis Kuchinich or Jessie Jackson. Yall ready to go on strike or what? How's that union drive going. Seriously electoralism is a fuck and only organized labour will make a ding dong difference, but at the same time, WHERE IS THE GODDAMN SUPPORT OF THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES

I support Cornel West...

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

mind explaining why? I've only heard the reasons not to, as @Awoo@hexbear.net explained up thread.

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just because he's the best option and a visible rejection of the Democratic party is important to me.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

is Gloria Riva not running again?

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She wasn't an option on my ballot in 2020.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

ahh got it

[–] SlowNoPoPo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Because third parties can't win and if Republicans get a super majority for even 2 years they will basically create a one party state of authoritarianism then you won't even have the illusion of choice
