Ah, I understand now. He's employing the strategy of switching parties so quickly in an effort to clip through the wall and secure either the Democratic or Republican nomination when the electoral system sees he's out of bounds and pushes him back into a party.
Speedrunners employ similar strategies.
Ready to watch Cornell West slide up the steps of the White House backwards and on his ass
Lmao can you imagine “As a surprise ending to a long primary process, The Republican Party has officially nominated Dr. Cornel West as its presidential candidate over Donald Trump. Chris Christie is the first of the primary candidates to endorse Dr. West.”
I prefer my presidential candidates to be unassisted
He keeps changing parties, will there be a 4th one?
he's gonna be running on the juan guaido ticket at this rate
his politics might not be great but clowning on the american electoral system is still funny
his politics are great
Funniest Shitposting campaign, defending Ron Desantis at one Communist Party to calling for his execution at the next
"I have run as a candidate for every communist party in the United States [challenge]"
Going to be the first line in his legacy subsection on Wikipedia
Peter Daou is running his campaign.
He's doing what the unions wanted him to do
I'm too lazy to watch a video, but didn't he switch from People's Party to Green for poll access? Now as an independent he'd have to get his own poll access right?
Has he even explained why? I couldn't find anything.
Vanity and money is my best guess. It's hard to say. His campaign is being run by our old friend Peter Daou, who is a genuine true believer I think. He was all behind Clinton in 2016, but had a massive change of heart to become more progressive in recent years (hence why we started calling him Chairman Daou)
Maybe West thinks this is the best way to keep a progressive platform vocalized to the public absent a figure like Bernie Sanders. I don't think he's under any impression he'll actually win.
Daou is definitely a true believer, but what that belief is in seems pretty arbitrary
Mostly just himself from what I've heard.
Our Constitution provides for Independent candidates to gain ballot access in all states, and I have begun seeking ballot access as an Independent, unaffiliated with any political party.

My Dear Brothers, Sisters, and Siblings,
We stand at a crossroads in our nation's history, where our corporate-funded system is unable and unwilling to solve the critical problems poor and working people face. I am in this race to challenge the hegemony of the two ruling parties, the never-ending dance between Republicans and Democrats that leaves millions of our friends and neighbors without housing, health care, decent jobs, clean air, clean water, nutritious food, and a healthy environment.

I nod in solidarity to the Green Party for their shared values and commitment to justice. But my quest for the presidency belongs to the people. I believe the best way to challenge the entrenched system is by focusing 100% on the people, not on the intricacies of internal party dynamics.
I need your help to build a movement that establishes a true democracy in which we secure the freedom to vote our conscience without being shamed, intimidated, or bullied.
Democrats and Republicans have failed us, perpetuating crises such as poverty, the climate emergency, endless war, and systemic racism, all for the personal gain of the rich and powerful.
Together, we can build a movement of independent thinkers, fearless truth-seekers, and unwavering champions of justice.
In the spirit of independence and unity,
Dr. Cornel West
i'll be honest, i have no idea why the greens exist, who is donating to them, or what they expect to achieve. the communist parties that run, tiny as they are, at least know they're gonna lose.
As for most countries in the west: The anti-nuclear movement of the 80s + de-radicalization of the 70s New Left. Or parties founded modeled after the above
As for the US, the Ralph Nader 2000 Presidential Campaign and its consequences, probably.
Lol.
i just wanna know if i can vote for orb mommy this year fr fr
It will be hilarious if, at the time of actually casting votes, he running as a Republican.
