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.

#USpol #USPolitics #electionday #election2024 #election #trump #KamalaHarris #jillstein #cornelwest #voteblue

Third parties could take enough votes from Trump or Harris to affect election https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/04/third-party-election-votes-jill-stein-rfk-jr #RobertFKennedyJr #USelections2024 #KamalaHarris #DonaldTrump #USpolitics #CornelWest #JillStein #USnews

"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.

@GottaLaff fuck that piece of shit #CornelWest and also fellow piece of shit #BillMaher for giving him publicity.

https://front.moveon.org/breaking-fec-and-irs-complaints-detail-illegal-collusion-between-republican-operatives-and-stein-west-and-rfk-jr/

#MoveOn is demanding swift action from the #FEC and #IRS in response to four complaints filed by End Citizens United (ECU), which detail alleged illegal coordination and support between Republican operatives and #JillStein, #CornelWest, and #RFKJr campaigns.

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.

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.

I live in California. I just registered to vote with the #JusticeForAll Party to help Dr. #CornelWest and Dr. #MelinaAbdullah to get on the ballot.

I encourage you to do the same, see https://www.cornelwest2024.com/california for California instructions.

For other states, see https://www.cornelwest2024.com/ballotaccess

#KPFA #PacificaRadio currently has an interview with Dr. Melina Abdullah, find it on their archives, I'll look for a link.

In partnership with the #MerchantsOfDeath War Crimes Tribunal, Z has launched a new playlist on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzkWWI6eVu3-CU-LwAvck2r2XTDRvyhxL

We kick it off with Dr #CornelWest speaking with World Beyond War's Brad Wolf:
"War is big business for profiteers. We've got to intervene, do something about this militarism that's gone hand in hand with free market fundamentalism."

The algorithm certainly won't be helping us out - so we need a community push. Check it out and share to help boost the views.

#CornelWest is another narcissistic, "I'm in it for me" rabble rouser who believes that going against the grain is a political #ideology. His so-called #candidacy is a joke without a punchline. All he's doing is feeding his #ego at the expense of the best interests of the nation. And for what? At the end of the day, he'll just be another quirky also-ran in the footnote of #history.

If #democrats are worried about #CornelWest spoiling the election, then they should probably vote for Cornel West.

Freakin' Cornel West is running for President as a member of the People's Party. Of course he won't win, but he is AMAZING and speaks my values and I believe we need more than a two party system. I signed up to get campaign info: https://www.cornelwest24.com/join?recruiter_id=488625

Edited to add: folks have shared info that I haven’t investigated yet indicating Dr. West might have some troubling alliances; he might be problematic.

#CornelWest #PeoplesParty #USPol

1) Cornel West, longtime warrior for truth and justice, running for #president is exciting.👍✌️
2) Running under the controversial People's Party banner seems questionable, at best.☹️ Green Party has some infrastructure, brand name recognition.
3) Would be better, safer, of course, if we had #IRV/#RCV for federal elections nationwide...
4) could use (generally unknown) .vote domain - instead of .com(mercial)

Curious to know which books and/or organizations shaped your #SocialJustice and #RacialEquity lens

Looking at this book list from https://antiraciststarterpack.com/

The first book I read on #RaceConscious perspectives was #RaceMatters from #CornelWest

I typically recommend #HowToBeAnAntiRacist by #IbramXKendi to folks who are new to learning about #antiracism and #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs by #MariameKaba for folks who are learning about #CommunityOrganizing with an #abolitionist lens

The orgs I recommend following to learn the basics around social justice issues are #MovementForBlackLives #M4BL #NDNCollective #ShowingUpForRacialJustice #SURJ #CriticalResistance and so many others
