“We would have been crushed like cockroaches if it were not for the anarchists and the antifascists… They saved our lives, actually. We would have been completely crushed, and I’ll never forget that.”
– Dr. Cornel West

'VICE met up with a few Antifa activists in Philadelphia who engage in “Black Bloc” actions to find out more about their ideology, tactics, and individual reasons for participating in a high-risk form of activism.'

I love Cornel West. "So I want to ask—you talk about the bleakness of the moment, but you don't talk about it in a bleak way. You have a hope. Where does that come from?

Lord, have mercy—I’ve got a joy and a hope and a love has been poured into me by my Mom, my Dad, Shiloh Baptist Church, the Black Panther Party, Martin King, Fannie Lou Hamer, Stokely Carmichael, James Lawson. I got a whole cloud of witness and we haven’t even gotten to Curtis Mayfield and Aretha and John Coltrane and so forth. I have a rich tradition. I come from a great people, a great people who've been dealing with bleakness for 400 years and yet still give the world so much love and joy and sense of freedom. That's my tradition.

I'll put it this way, as long as part of the life of that tradition—oh, no, as long as part of the afterlife of that tradition is at work in my life, and I walk around in style and smile, but I'm not gonna live in denial I know how ugly and bleak it is. Oh, absolutely."

"Britain had its moment in the sun ... peaking in 1900 let's say, and slowly but surely beginning to unravel. All the way up to the Suez Canal episode in 1956 when it was clear; it's over Britain.

...

And so it is with the US now. See we peaked about 1990 or so, and we've been unravelling slowly, and now the veil has been ripped."

Please, even if you are rightfully outraged by what's happening in Gaza and other things Harris has supported or refused to condemn, DO NOT VOTE FOR JILL STEIN OR CORNEL WEST OR WHATEVER.

The Russian trolls want you to vote for Jill Stein, because they know a vote for her is a vote for Trump. Don't fall victim to them.

Please.

Pinch your nose and vote for Harris.

"This election is too close, we can't risk a Trump presidency for a protest vote!" That's exactly why we should vote for Stein (or West, if you feel so inclined). In fact, there's never been a better time.

People have been shouting for an end to the genocide in Gaza for over a year. There's always been outrage in relatively niche circles over things like the Cop Cities, climate inaction, and trans healthcare, but the Democrats could be forgiven for thinking that that would never cost them an election. Not so with Gaza. They can't pretend that ending genocide is an extreme demand, or that only a minority of people want them to. They know their support for Israel is costing them tons of support from leftists, youth, Muslims, and people of conscience in general. They're gambling that they can still get us to vote for them, or that they can win elections without us.

Either way, if we prove them right, where would it end? What happens when the only bar they have to clear is "threatening to send Israel one less bomb than Republicans"? What happens when they realize they can abandon us and only cater to increasingly extremist right-wing voters?

If you live in a red state, or better, a swing state, and vote third party only for the Republicans to win, you aren't responsible for the consequences, the Democrats are. A political party's job is to win your support. The whole point of elections is to say who did that best.

Stein, West, and RFK Jr. "have been willingly co-opted by #MAGA Republicans…effort to play fast and loose with election law to prop up 3rd-party candidates is nothing less than an assault on our democracy…”

I'm voting #JillStein strictly because I want to see a 3rd party get 5% as a longer term goal for a viable 3rd party.

However, I have complete solidarity with anyone voting #ClaudiadelaCruz or #CornelWest & would rather punch right than at fellow #socialists & #communists.

@Jonathanglick #CornelWest probably has a headful of the same brain-eating worms 🐛 that turned #RFKjr into a #weird #Independent candidate for #POTUS. 🤷‍♂️ #USpol

#VoteBlueNoMatterWho to #SaveAmerica from #weirdos.

And by running for President, Cornel West is increasing the risk that all Palestinians will be driven into the sea and Gaza will become a trump holiday resort for Israelis.

Cornel West won't get any votes from Republicans, so every vote he gets, is a vote less for Harris and thereby increases the chance that the Golden Spoon Bully wins.

Cornel West's strategy puts the Palestinians at even more risk.
