Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Cornell West SHOULD know better then doing stunts like this. Because even if the criticism is correct, he is siphoning blue-voters away to a politically useless or damaging position, like the Green-Party.
Which means he weakens the Democrats.
Which in turn means he strengthens the Fascist-GOP.
We can aknowledge the Truth, but always vote and always vote blue. NEVER risk a blue vote for the need to pride yourself on "fighting the corrupt system".
Emotional validation is never an argument for weakening the only thing holding back Fascism in the US. To much is at stake!
good. that's the plan. how is he supposed to win the presidency without someone who previously voted democrat?
Ive been voting since the mid 80s and EVERY election has been 'theres too much at stake.'
West isnt syphoning off votes, if Biden or Democrats actually represented the public there would be no concern about him having a challenger and he would win by a landslide, but they dont represent us, they represent capital and only capital. The world is on fire and they are telling us we are ok, most of us can see things are not ok, but getting worse. And the part about splitting the vote is liberal myth, if there was no 3rd party candidate running we still wouldnt vote for the cause of most of our problems.
@K1nsey6 @Ekybio So when you find out the @GOP will be funding the "No Labels" & #GreenParty you'll be good with that?
Except the part where thats not happening. Though the DNC has been known to fund right wing candidates, and oppose dems that challenge their 'public stance'
@K1nsey6 Both Nader and Stein admitted it. The @GOP will send fund to both. Count on it.
Sure....
I'm expecting them to actually, if it hasn't happened already. Because they know both will siphon blue votes away from their only RELEVANT opposition.
