Jill Stein is Managing Cornel West's POTUS Bid (NOT The Onion)

You cannot make this shit up.

Cornel West, the Ivy League academic and progressive activist mounting a third-party campaign for president, has chosen former Green Party candidate Jill Stein to help him challenge to President Joe Biden from the left.

Stein said Wednesday that she’s serving as the “interim coordinator” for the West campaign, a catch-all role that encompasses fundraising, communications and campaign management until West can build a more traditional campaign.

“I’m just thrilled and delighted to have such an eloquent and accomplished voice as Cornel West advancing our agenda,” she said. “His vision is really made for this moment. There are so many people who are hurting and are locked out and feel that they’ve been left out of our political system.”

I first read about it from this tweet:

1. Instant (((GONG))) !!

2. Hate her. Hate him.

And now even more.

3. Which of the two is more clueless?

Impossible to say...

[emulatorloo]

12. I don't think either of them are clueless.

[hlthe2b]

13. Do you support West and Jill Stein? If so, you'd be the first DUer I've seen seemingly suggest so.

I most certainly do not. I do not want to hand the R's (including Trump) the WH. And Cornell West lost me with his disgusting attacks on President Obama--not to mention his attacks on Biden. Jill Stein and her Russia promotion is all I'll mention about her. Russia apologists both of them, it would appear.

So, do tell. Why do you object to my calling them "clueless?"

15. Do I support Stein and West? Lol, FUCK NO. I say they aren't clueless because they know exactly

what they are doing: they want to recreate what Stein and Putin did in 2016. Which was to help get Trump elected. They are both rotten spoilers.

[hlthe2b]

16. Ahh. Gotcha.

4. when I took my little son to Harvard in 2017, I saw him walking with someone outside

and he is way taller than I realized.

[allegorical oracle]

5. Can remember when he seemed to make sense when he spoke. Always wondered if he

suffered a health breakdown.

[canuckledragger]

6. And That's all I need to know about that guy now.

I've barley paid attention to him over the years, had the impression he was just an attention seeking blowhard...but with this move, teaming up with a russian agent, tells me all I need to know about him now.

9. Next we'll find out he took that picture of Stein, Putin and Flynn nt

7. NEXT: Cornel West says U.S. must help Russia repel invasion by Ukraine

[markie]

8. such nonsense

him running and her helping...

[Hortensis]

10. The sinister plan is becoming clear: to have us nibbled to death by ducks.

So, another "Daffy," post-intellectual attention seeker...prophetic black freedom fighter version?

The Green Party's actually on a bunch of ballots and made to seem relatively functional by the semi-moribund mess called the People's Party Movement. And Stein's "assisting" him, no doubt eager to hold onto a possibility whose name is actually known.

I've long had a notion that stewing in anti-Democratic venom and general resentment may have been what cooked West's once impressive intellectual white matter. When do we ever see those problems in an honest, intelligent person capable of, you know, actually achieving something worth doing?

Whatever. I'm wondering if what remains may actually be an appropriate fit among those who stumble into the Green Party, where what they're hoping to find is far less clear than the general hallucinations about vanquishing mainstream-left demons. His anti-Democratic animus should at least be somewhat animating.

11. Ha! Remnants.

[Tarc]

14. Oh, Jill Steinbots, such clueless little gits

I wonder if the Jackpine Radicals still exists, not sure I even care enough to Google it.

17. In 2016 here in WI, Stein received more votes than Trump's margin of victory,

and that was no joke since those were votes that most likely came from the Left.
American partisan politics is binary with the winner of virtually every election being either the Democratic or the Republican candidate. If you are on the Left and choose not to vote for the Democratic candidate you are only helping the Republican.

18. Jill Stein is trying to re-elect TFG

19. She did very well the last time, vote-shaving in crucial places, thus tossing the Electoral College...

…to Donald Trump.

Do not underestimate her danger to us, nor the danger of No Labels.
