Pretty big chunk of white left leaning libs would go for PSL but not West. I probably would’ve gone for him if he wasn’t kicked out of the race in my state.
Because he believes in systemic white supremacy in the US. Beyond people that actually read theory (tiny minority), black liberation has not been a popular issue for white people since 1865. Fucking California just voted to keep prison slavery
I think I’m mostly surprised because he’s received quite a bit of media attention, or at least he did for a minute but I guess if he didn’t even make it on the ballot in some places that would obviously affect the numbers
I’m not, tbh. I liked a lot of the things Cornel West had to say, but given his contentious interactions with the Green Party after they endorsed him as their candidate, he just seemed fundamentally unserious even by third party standards. I don’t really understand what he was trying to accomplish with his campaign. To me it just seemed like he was trying to sow chaos on the left at a time when it needed to be showing a united front.
Makes sense; I know a lot of people vote based on vibes and I just remember that he got a decent amount of media exposure and “communist bad” so that’s why i was surprised
Really surprised that Claudia de la Cruz overtook Cornel West so significantly
same reason republicans vote for Trump instead of neocon Democrats: why go for the generic brand when you’ve got the real thing?

Why do you think that?

You think De la Cruz does not?
I’m not sure you’d find a PSL chapter that doesn’t either. It’s in the main party program
