To say that I ever had high hopes for Cornel West’s third-party run would be an exaggeration. But I was and still am willing to give any campaign with the potential to thwart the duopoly due consideration.<\/p>\n
Although Cornel West’s politics are mostly not my own, I have always \u2013 at least until recently \u2013 considered him an interesting and genuine gadfly-type figure on the left.<\/p>\n
Plus, he’s really<\/em> been grinding the gears of Democrat partisans and their allies in the corporate state media since his campaign launch earlier this year, which can’t be anything but a good thing.<\/p>\n At the very least, watching them try to work through how to demonize a black man once highly vaunted within their own clique on behalf of their geriatric white puppet is satisfying schadenfreude.<\/p>\n
