Cornel West’s Presidential Bid Draws Heated Response: ‘It Will Only Help Secure a Trump or DeSantis Presidency’ https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/cornel-west-presidential-bid-draws-235349678.html
I have to admit I don't mind him the odd time but I find his shtick grating after a while and I like my public intellectuals a bit easier on the eyes and ears. Its a pity Julia Ioffe is Russian so can't run. Can this be president?
Presidential elections and 3rd party candidates are not viable until the system is changed so losing candidates can transfer their votes or a percentage of them if they have passed a bar of a percent or a few to weed out spurious candidate proliferation. You don't want Italy style ballots. The only other way is to elbow in a third party with real numbers in the houses but during that... Third party as a protest in presidential seems tears in rain to me and probably hurts you. West is clearly a good man, he is not even a Bernie in ability to inspire enough.
