'Part of a movement': Jill Stein to help Cornel West build 'people-powered' presidential campaign

[LiberalArkie]

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has signed on to support Dr. Cornel West's 2024 campaign, CNN reports.

The former Harvard professor and long time civil rights activist announced his Third-Party White House bid earlier this month, in which he noted he will run for the People's Party.

However, according to the report, West "quickly broke off from that group, which has limited campaign infrastructure amid concerns about ballot access, to join the Greens and seek their nomination."

The 2024 hopeful noted, "Any candidacy to run the empire, in order to dismantle the empire, has to be part of a movement."

1. gop needs to remember to save some $ for their own candidates

13. I just went to the bathroom. I think I flushed part of a similar movement.

.

Jill, keep sucking up to Putin while you can. His days are numbered.

19. We DO have publicly funded presidential elections.

We have had them for decades. It is right on your tax form at the top. John McCain was the last candidate to participate and have a publicly funded campaign in 2008. Obama refused to do so that year and every candidate since then has refused.

4. When the nazi party starts arresting non trump supporters I hope these two get arrested

first.

5. Doomed to fail.

So instead of insisting on forming your own party, which has the potential to siphon off enough votes to cost the election to Biden, and thus doom every single thing you stand for, why not back away and join an anti-Trump coalition to save the country from a fascist dictatorship?

Harvard professor? And you're that stupid, you can't figure this out?

6. We Already Have a Real People Powered

campaign For Pres Biden.. Not some Gaslit Liar's Campaign "powered" by RF Jill Stein.

8. Is West in the "waiting for Putin invite game" too now?

That's all Jill Stein can advise him on.

11. Will he even be able to get on the ballot in all states?

[dalton99a]

12. People-powered, not Putin-powered

[Initech]

17. Also. doesn't the idea of a people's party make it sound communist?

[Initech]

15. 3rd party candidates for president in... um... is never an option?

[Johonny]

16. Shouldn't they aim to get into the House or you know mayor of a small town

I mean, Jill Stein couldn't get elected dog catcher. And Putin isn't the ally he used to be. Perhaps Dr. Cornel West should try for the PTA and leave losing the presidency to professionals.

18. Dismantling the empire. Easy, like dismantling the big banks. Inspire The People

with your passion and authenticity by yelling and waving your arms around, they will flock to exciting large sized rallies and the socialist revolution happens and everything will be non-establishment and the bad neoliberal Democratic Party vanquished. Done. In Solidarity, please send grassroots money.

20. If West wants to learn how to dismantle an empire, maybe Louis DeJoy (USPS) can provide a

few nifty tips.

21. He's fucked then. 'Cause she's got the charisma of drywall. And every interview I've seen her

on (with an open mind) she pretty much communicates in word salad, bullshit platitudes. If she were serious, in the least bit, she'd spent time building that party up county by county. Instead of pretending to run for president every 4 years.

As soon as someone who used to take him seriously. If I fucking hear "Brother Donald " or "Brother Ron". I'm personally gonna throw my shoe at him.

[allegorical oracle]

22. Yep. She and Cornel are the only people who can understand what each other is saying. nt
