I know voting by itself cannot bring about change. However the right person in the right position, who is supported by the people, would have a legitimacy that revolutions often lack. The establishment candidates won't even debate, how can they be considered legitimate.
How am I suppose to choose between the three hopefuls I actually like though?
Jill Stein seems like she has the best chance to win, but I don't know if she is revolutionary enough.
Cornel West seems like he might actually be able to kick off a revolution, but I don't know if he could win.
Claudia de la Cruz seems amazing but is still very much a bit of an unknown.
Am I just suppose to roll the dice here? I think I could vote for any of these three with a clear conscience, but my favorite depends so much on the day.
I asked last year at one point about Cornell West and got directed to a tweet he made a decade ago praising Reagan's "freedom fighters" who went around in the 80s working to snuff out communism across the world.
At best West is a Sanders-esque reformist.
Even that may be giving him too much credit.
True but wasn't sure how to word it.
