How's corny gonna get over 270 ec votes? He's not. This is why 3rd parties are pointless until we get rid of fptp voting and the ec.
Until then vote Dem or we lose democracy.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Or let's pretend he did.
What the fuck is a guy who has never held public office, who is filling his leadership team with more people who have never held public office, going to do when they are stuck with their hands tied with no allies in the presidency?
Oh but he will sure be that much richer for running and getting Trump elected tho...
this is a public political iq test.
we put into office a guy who held no elected office of any kind and look how that worked out. are you going to do that again and expect a better result?
Democracy is when you are free to choose between giant turd and shit sandwich. Gobbless.
"West’s campaign said he had already secured ballot access in Alaska, Oregon, South Carolina and Utah, but some states require a running mate for independent candidates to get on the ballot."
Unless he gets on the ballot in enough states to hit 270 electoral votes, it's not going to matter...
Actually, won't matter anyway since he won't win a single state. But let's see here...
Alaska - 3
Oregon - 8
South Carolina - 9
Utah - 6
So 26 down, 244 to go!
But he can siphon crucial voting blocks away from Biden, causing Biden to lose states that he should've won. This is clearly a sabotage effort and I wonder who's funding it and how Cornell West's personal integrity could have dropped so low so suddenly.
26 down, 244 to go!
That should be the tagline for the VP announcement
a vote for west is a vote for trump.
these 3rd party runners have no realistic chance of winning the presidency and have a very real chance of sucking votes away from the only viable person who can beat trump.
Who fucken cares
