Kanye West

[Proud liberal 80]

The fact that right wingers are cheering on his candidacy because they think he is going to take black voters away from Biden just emphasizes their racism and the fact they don’t know Black people. Black people aren’t going to vote for Kanye just because he is black or that because he is a rapper. We are smarter than that.

1. I'm uncertain whether the intended target demographic is young voters generally

vs. African-Americans.

2. That's what I was thinking.

Every black person I know thinks of Kanye as someone who put out a few good projects but really needs help. Or they just laugh at him and say he’s crazy.

3. I have to wonder if this just another money making scheme...

Newt Gingrich was a professional candidate for a while. I wonder how much money he pocketed over the years doing that.

4. He seems like a great candidate

for people who want somebody younger, better looking, and more honest than Trump, but aren't quite ready for a functioning government with good policies.

8. This is actually a very scary observation.

You say it in jest, but in this country with it's devotion to celebrity and social media 'influencers' you are frighteningly on to something.

5. West liked the smell of the Oval Office.

He liked the feeling of real power. He wants more of it. It's not that he is interested in public service. Were he interested, he'd serve the public FIRST as an alderman or a city council member, then a state senator or rep, then a national office. He'd show his credentials with years of hard and loyal work. IOW, he'd follow the footsteps of a Stacy Abrams, a hard worker for her political party and the people of her state.

But West wants the power, and he wants it now. This is not good. And I'm confident that those who know who West is will see through his marketing ploy.

We're just now trying to rid our nation of one huckster. We don't need another.

6. KW will get publicity - thats the sure payoff.

Run for 'President', advertise the profile at the national level.

7. The people who might vote for him were unlikely to have voted otherwise

I don't see this having a meaningful impact

[Proud liberal 80]

9. Yep

That’s what I think. But the MSM will play up that he is taking young voters away from Biden.

10. @BarackObama summed up Kanye West best.

12. Didn't he run last time too? I seem to remember him running for pres too, in 2016? NT

[lettucebe]

13. Cuz he's black? Blacks will vote for him? Hahahahahahahahaha

OMG, they are dumber than we thought, if that is even possible.

[bdamomma]

15. I think Kanye

should forgo his desire to be President and just be a singer, he is rather delusional.
