  • His website isn’t secure and looks ancient. Also the front page is just a closeup of his face. It is clearly focused on shilling for his speaking and books. So based off of that somewhat shallow look, I would say he is just running as a publicity stunt for his business. Which is fine, I guess, but not someone that I would vote for.

    Edited to add: He actually does have a campaign website at cornelwest2024 that I initially missed. I went to the top result which was his main website.


  • We can’t have a discussion about him

    Umm, We obviously can. That’s literally this thread.

    until the country abolishes first-past-the-post

    It’s not up to national politicians to replace first-past-the-post. That is a state-level political decision. With that in mind it is crazy to expect that all 50 states will replace our first-past-the-post voting system anytime soon.

    due to stealing Biden votes

    hahaha, As if you can steal votes. That idea is absurd.

    No politician is entitled to your vote. Everyone should vote for the best candidate regardless of their perceived popularity. Unfortunately what people should do is largely irrelevant because as a general rule people don’t do what they should do. What they actually end up doing is the perceived easier action. And that is voting for the least shitty option (in their opinion) in the general election.

    I would say the optimal voting strategy is the least shitty option currently, but I would not bash anyone for voting for who they think will be the best candidate for the position.
