I didn't know he was a regular on MJ. Thanks for the info!

Edited to clarify: I was referring to Glaude.

I still laugh at how many people here hate this show but can't seem but help to watch it.

Change the channel already.

He used his platform to declare that he was voting for Jill Stein. At no point did I hear him urging people to vote for Clinton. Fast forward to present: At least 100,000 black people have now died from Corona. Not to mention all the complications being experienced by those who are still living. This would have never happened without tRump in office. Period.

How did that work out? What if people that lived in those states listened to his dumb @ss and left the ballot blank?

in the US, particularly in the context of race.

He has basically issued a mea culpa about 2016, which he touches on in his newer book Begin Again, which is mostly about James Baldwin (and is an excellent book, imho).

He attacked Hillary in 2016 and had never admitted that he was wrong in these attacks

Hillary and people who supported her like Neera Tanden get pummeled by the left and hard right.
