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.

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

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.

[–] 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.
