Of course he's a lib. The only thing we get in this political environment is fascist right center right and an occasional gesture towards what people actually want.
So. Fukkin Bernie got Caesar'd, nobody even remembers Dennis Kuchinich or Jessie Jackson. Yall ready to go on strike or what? How's that union drive going. Seriously electoralism is a fuck and only organized labour will make a ding dong difference, but at the same time, WHERE IS THE GODDAMN SUPPORT OF THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES
Because third parties can't win and if Republicans get a super majority for even 2 years they will basically create a one party state of authoritarianism then you won't even have the illusion of choice
So where my Cornell West peeps at
If we want to push a third party why nobody fucking DOING IT

I support Cornel West...
mind explaining why? I've only heard the reasons not to, as @Awoo@hexbear.net explained up thread.
Just because he's the best option and a visible rejection of the Democratic party is important to me.
is Gloria Riva not running again?
She wasn't an option on my ballot in 2020.
ahh got it
