    Still not convinced this isn't just a PR stunt. The current media landscape has made running for President (and other prominent offices) and losing an incredibly lucrative endeavor. Not just with figures like Buttigieg/Stacy Abrams, but look at Marianne Williamson's public profile now: I'm sure her next book will see better sales.

      absolutely it is.

      it also works as a republican backed spoiler candidate, i guess, but thatd more be a why for republicans signal boosting it. since who the fuck believes any of the republican voters are flipping to the party of yeezus?

      not like it fucking matters.

      Just vote green or PSL. We don't want prosperity gespel Kanye to become an actual force in politics in the future.

      Idk if you're enabling him with that, but it's surely not helping the matter.

    He's the same jackass he has always been. It's a publicity stunt and a platform to feed his ego.

      I'm still unsure how much of it is untreated bipolar depression, and how much of it is just a publicity stunt.

      I'm of the mind that he does have bipolar and isn't treating it, like he's said in the past, but that he lets himself go specifically because he knows that it brings him attention, which ultimately increases his bottom line.

    kanye was on my ballot, but PSL and green weren't. (they were "official write-in" candidates, meaning they weren't on the ballot, but i was allowed to write them in, because Democracy™)
