I thought Cornell West was running on the Green Party ticket? Not that it matters

His explanation was that the primary process in the green party would get in the way of campaigning. Personally I'm not buying it, and it's a bad move. Getting ballot access is crucial if you're serious about challenging Biden, and the Green Party (and Libertarian Party) are the only parties that are going to be on the ballot in every state.

And then there's also the thing where he's apparently friends with Harlan Crow, has a bunch of tax debt, etc. Great academic, probably not someone that should run for President.
